WEBVTT 00:00:25.986 --> 00:00:35.765 - top of the charts to national television, from Beijing, China to the IU Auditorium. Under the direction 00:00:35.765 --> 00:00:45.637 - of Dr. Steve Segre, the IU Jacobs School of Music is proud to present the Singing Hoosiers. Entertaining 00:00:45.637 --> 00:00:55.134 - audiences from around the world for over 60 years with America's popular song. Ladies and gentlemen, 00:00:55.298 --> 00:00:59.518 - Please welcome the singing Hoosiers! 00:12:20.706 --> 00:12:26.801 - For those of you who perhaps might be here for the first time, I'm kind of curious whether you're at 00:12:26.801 --> 00:12:32.835 - the auditorium or whether you're here experiencing singing Hoosiers concert for the first time. Can 00:12:32.835 --> 00:12:38.929 - you let us know who's here for the first time? You know, it's funny. There's a spotlight in my eyes. 00:12:38.929 --> 00:12:45.326 - So you might think I'm looking at you, but I can't really see you. So there were some people who actually 00:12:45.326 --> 00:12:46.110 - raised their 00:12:51.298 --> 00:13:00.235 - at Singing Hoosiers? Let me ask a few of the veterans here, how many of you have been to a Singing Hoosiers 00:13:00.235 --> 00:13:08.757 - concert before? Okay, so we are proudly, we proudly feel like we represent the Jacobs School of Music, 00:13:08.757 --> 00:13:17.694 - which in case you're here for the first time, you need to know is by far the best music school in the world 00:13:22.850 --> 00:13:29.963 - famous for things like opera, symphony orchestras, and all those kinds of things. Yeah. But see, when 00:13:29.963 --> 00:13:37.007 - you go to the opera, most of the time you can't really behave like this. And that's good. Because we 00:13:37.007 --> 00:13:44.260 - wouldn't want you behaving like this for an opera. However, here you're allowed. The only rules we have 00:13:44.260 --> 00:13:51.582 - is that you must have fun, and you may express yourself however you'd like, whenever you'd like. Got it? 00:13:57.730 --> 00:14:07.204 - Well, we're celebrating 64 years, which means next year we turn 65, 65th anniversary, and I must say, 00:14:07.204 --> 00:14:17.235 - they're holding up pretty well, aren't they? Security, I think we might need to have some of these removed. 00:14:17.235 --> 00:14:25.502 - It's great, because we can go and we can collect social security next year, but in fact, 00:14:27.394 --> 00:14:35.041 - In fact, this is 64, and one of the things that we celebrate in Singing Hoosiers is something we refer 00:14:35.041 --> 00:14:42.762 - to as the Great American Songbook. Composers like George Gershwin, you'll hear from tonight, and Harold 00:14:42.762 --> 00:14:50.335 - Arlen, and Jerome Kern, and Richard Rogers, and Cole Porter, Peru, Indiana, and this next person that 00:14:50.335 --> 00:14:56.126 - is pretty important to anybody from Bloomington and IU, because he went to IU 00:14:56.258 --> 00:15:02.458 - one of the greatest American songwriters ever. Of course, I'm referring to Hoagy Carmichael. The statue 00:15:02.458 --> 00:15:08.717 - is right out there. So please enjoy the next two pieces as the singing Hoosiers pay tribute to the great 00:15:08.717 --> 00:15:09.790 - Hoagy Carmichael. 00:15:27.458 --> 00:15:52.766 - The whole night through. Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind. Georgia. 00:20:11.266 --> 00:20:14.974 - Oh, it's a bright new morning we can love. 00:22:28.706 --> 00:22:29.150 - We owe. 00:23:06.434 --> 00:23:11.970 - on the pages, all in a row with their canaries in the cages. Mary is still quite contrary to me. Never 00:23:11.970 --> 00:23:17.452 - will she marry if they marry, only garden by the sea. And this little piggy took a spin to the market 00:23:17.452 --> 00:23:22.881 - by a fourth butter, only by the bacon. No, the piggy stayed at home. This little pig had none. Panty 00:23:22.881 --> 00:23:28.470 - panty was a jack-o'-dandy, digging on a cake and sugar candy. Peter Panty Panty Panty Panty Panty Panty 00:23:28.470 --> 00:23:33.630 - Panty Panty Panty Panty Panty Panty Panty Panty Panty Panty Panty Panty Panty Panty Panty Panty 00:23:56.866 --> 00:24:09.054 - I don't know what you're talking about. 00:24:43.234 --> 00:24:43.934 - That's a dog. 00:27:31.906 --> 00:27:55.870 - wish you find your love, your own true love, this day. Passions I can wish you, seven-foot men 00:38:46.626 --> 00:38:52.964 - wherever we go one of the things that part of my job one of the really fun things about my job is to 00:38:52.964 --> 00:38:59.427 - get to try to connect with college students and you want the best thing it's the best thing about that 00:38:59.427 --> 00:39:05.891 - I get to connect with college students and they pay me for it it's a great gig so for this show I said 00:39:05.891 --> 00:39:12.480 - hey guys what would you like to do they said well let's do a couple of production numbers maybe a couple 00:39:12.480 --> 00:39:14.174 - of medleys you know medley 00:39:14.274 --> 00:39:21.566 - For those of you from Bloomington South, a medley is a lot of songs put together. The North people paid 00:39:21.566 --> 00:39:28.788 - me to say that. I'm sorry. Anyway, anyway, these students then put together, they said, hey, how about 00:39:28.788 --> 00:39:36.081 - if we put together a medley of songs about heroes? And I thought, well, I can think of some hero songs. 00:39:36.081 --> 00:39:43.934 - That might be kind of cool. Is that all you got? And they said, well, how about a medley of songs about heroes? 00:39:44.546 --> 00:39:51.775 - and villains. So, just so you know, these amazingly talented and creative students, not only arranged, 00:39:51.775 --> 00:39:59.003 - but they choreographed, they costumed, they produced, they directed, they did all of what you're about 00:39:59.003 --> 00:40:06.302 - to see. Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy singing Hoosier's Heroes and Villains Medley. Kick it, band! 00:47:11.298 --> 00:47:19.309 - She doesn't scare you, no evil thing will. To see her is to take a sudden chill. Look out for Corella 00:47:19.309 --> 00:47:27.399 - DeVille, DeVille. The curl of her lips, the ice in her stare. All innocent children had better beware. 00:47:27.399 --> 00:47:33.054 - She's like a spider waiting for the kill. Look out for Corella DeVille. 00:51:03.298 --> 00:51:04.926 - See my 00:58:01.826 --> 00:58:18.215 - and the Singing Hoosier alumni. This past year, the Singing Hoosiers were saddened by the loss of one 00:58:18.215 --> 00:58:31.230 - of our most cherished members, Bob Williams. Bob earned his music degree from IU 00:58:31.906 --> 00:58:40.852 - in 1956 and served as accompanist for the Singing Hoosiers from 1954 to 1957. Bob served as president 00:58:40.852 --> 00:58:50.061 - of the Singing Hoosiers Alumni Council and was awarded the Singing Hoosiers Distinguished Alumni Service 00:58:50.061 --> 00:58:59.183 - Award in 1987. Bob often gave credit to the Singing Hoosiers and George F. Krieger, founding conductor, 00:58:59.183 --> 00:59:01.726 - to shaping his everyday work 00:59:04.930 --> 00:59:14.865 - favorite claims to fame, that he was able to play piano under all four directors in our 64-year history, 00:59:14.865 --> 00:59:24.327 - including our own doctor's degree last year. Together with his wife, Pat, their love and admiration 00:59:24.327 --> 00:59:33.694 - for the Singing Hoosiers led them to establish the Robert E. Williams Singing Hoosier Scholarship. 00:59:34.914 --> 00:59:43.556 - Since its inception, there have been 10 recipients. And now, the Singing Hoosiers would like to honor 00:59:43.556 --> 00:59:52.113 - the memory of Bob Williams with his beautiful arrangement of My Funny Valentine. And here to conduct 00:59:52.113 --> 01:00:00.670 - is last year's 2013 Bob and Pat Williams Singing Hoosier Scholarship Award recipient, Jared McElroy. 01:09:15.522 --> 01:09:23.540 - But you probably won't, you think you're cooler than me. You wear designer shades just to hide your 01:09:23.540 --> 01:09:31.719 - face. And you wear them around like you're cooler than me. And you never say hey or remember my name. 01:09:31.719 --> 01:09:39.817 - It's probably because you think you're cooler than me. Oh, no, you got your highbrow, da-da shoes on 01:09:39.817 --> 01:09:42.142 - your feet, and you wear them 01:09:46.210 --> 01:09:56.434 - You don't know the way that you make steps, make that much noise. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because it sure 01:09:56.434 --> 01:10:05.022 - seems, it sure seems, they've got no doubt. You've got no doubt. Banda, we all see. 01:10:25.154 --> 01:10:40.542 - No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. 01:11:10.946 --> 01:11:18.080 - most successful album which won the Grammy Award for album of the year in 1960. We will then perform 01:11:18.080 --> 01:11:19.422 - a singing Hoosiers 01:21:16.930 --> 01:21:17.278 - assistant. 01:24:54.402 --> 01:25:02.353 - Some of the pieces of music we sing because they have a text. And that's the difference between instrumental 01:25:02.353 --> 01:25:09.793 - music and vocal music. Vocal music has words. It sounds simple, and yet that simple fact really makes 01:25:09.793 --> 01:25:17.452 - the music something that we can communicate. We love songs with messages, including this next one, which 01:25:17.452 --> 01:25:24.382 - talks about raindrops that'll fall, but even when it rains, when things can get tough in life, 01:25:24.738 --> 01:25:28.286 - you know that eventually the sun will shine if you have a little faith. 01:31:14.242 --> 01:31:22.995 - Oh, the lines are the little eyes of Jane. Oh, the lines are the little eyes of Jane. Ah, travelers 01:31:22.995 --> 01:31:31.836 - riding by that day. It's tough to hear, but we're passing away. The capitals, the little tennis feet 01:31:31.836 --> 01:31:40.764 - were wet. But the little fiddler didn't listen to threats. So the stranger told the fiddler, medical, 01:31:40.764 --> 01:31:43.390 - listen to me, that you better 01:32:28.866 --> 01:32:43.053 - I dance with a gal with a hoe and a sucker and her heel comes a rock and her toe comes a rock and I 01:32:43.053 --> 01:32:46.174 - dance with a gal with 01:32:58.434 --> 01:33:09.470 - Thanks for listening! 01:33:29.218 --> 01:33:42.275 - singing Hoosiers. It's time again for you to experience and celebrate the amazing talents of these students. 01:33:42.275 --> 01:33:54.494 - I think they're the most talented group of students on this entire IU campus. That's just my opinion. 01:34:00.802 --> 01:34:07.545 - They tell me they're not only the most talented group on campus, they also tell me they're the best 01:34:07.545 --> 01:34:14.356 - looking. In any case, it's time for them to celebrate their creativity. They said, hey, how about we 01:34:14.356 --> 01:34:21.369 - do a medley of songs. A medley. You paying attention, South? A medley of songs that have to do, because 01:34:21.369 --> 01:34:28.247 - we love to dance. You heard Abby say, we love to dance. We love to dance. Well, how about a medley of 01:34:28.247 --> 01:34:30.270 - songs that are about dancing? 01:34:30.498 --> 01:34:36.811 - I said, that sounds great. What do you got? And they said, check it out. So ladies and gentlemen, they 01:34:36.811 --> 01:34:42.633 - choreographed it, they produced it, they costumed it. It's all about dancing through the ages. 01:34:42.633 --> 01:34:46.494 - Check it out. Are you ready band? One, two, three, here we go. 01:44:33.858 --> 01:44:34.494 - So do I. 01:46:31.554 --> 01:46:31.934 - Hot it. 01:51:29.250 --> 01:51:29.630 - Thank you. 01:53:51.618 --> 01:53:54.782 - anything we set our minds to, and so can you.
