This tradition caused another one: in the end of each choir's anniversary concert, all the former choristers being present among the audience come to the stage and sing these famous choruses together with the main part of the choir.

When night's shaDows fly
New Year's dawn floods all the sky;
And joyful voices sound, joyful voices sound.
Branches of the fragrant pine
Hang ev'rywhere around, ev'rywhere around
Leaves so dainty fine
Freshly gathered, dewy shine,
And glitter in the light, glitter in the light.
From Kadusa's lofty pinetree
Waving, on the height, on the height. less
