"(Dorsum Dwelling house Again in) Indiana" is a song equanimous by James F. Hanley with lyrics past Ballard MacDonald that was published in January 1917. Although it is not the country song of Indiana (which is "On the Banks of the Wabash, Far Abroad"), it is perhaps the best-known vocal that pays tribute to the Hoosier state.
An Indiana signature [edit]
The melody was introduced as a Tin Pan Alley pop song of the time. It contains a musical quotation from the already well known "On the Banks of the Wabash, Far Away", as well every bit repetition of words from the lyrics: candlelight, moonlight, fields, new-mown hay, sycamores, and the Wabash River.
Since 1946, the chorus of "Back Home Again in Indiana" has been performed during pre-race ceremonies before the Indianapolis 500. During the song, thousands of multicolored balloons are released from an infield tent. The balloon release dates back to 1947, and has coincided with the song since about 1950. From 1972 to 2014, the vocal was performed near often by Jim Nabors. He admitted to having the song's lyrics written on his hand during his inaugural operation, and occasionally his versions altered several of the words. The vocals are supported past the Purdue All-American Marching Band. In 2014, Nabors performed the song for the final fourth dimension after announcing his retirement earlier that year, saying: "You lot know, there's a fourth dimension in life when you have to move on. I'll be 84 this year. I just figured it was time ... This is really the highlight of my yr to come up hither. It'south very lamentable for me, just nevertheless there's something inside of me that tells me when it's fourth dimension to become."[1]
After Nabors retired, the laurels of singing the song was done on a rotating basis (which had also been the case prior to Nabors becoming the regular singer) in 2015 and 2016. A cappella group Straight No Attorney performed in 2015 and the Leap 2014 winner of The Vox Josh Kaufman accompanied by the Indianapolis Children's Choir performed in 2016. The Speedway has returned to a standard vocalizer starting in 2017, with Jim Cornelison doing information technology for five runnings every bit of the 2021 race.[2]
A jazz standard [edit]
Columbia 78 by the Original Dixieland Jazz Band, 1917
In 1917 information technology was one of the current pop tunes selected by Columbia Records to exist recorded by the Original Dixieland Jazz Band, (ODJB), who released information technology as a 78 with "Darktown Strutters' Ball". This lively instrumental version by the ODJB was one of the earliest jazz records issued and sold well. The tune became a jazz standard. For years, Louis Armstrong and his All Stars would open every public operation with the number.
Its chord changes undergird the Charlie Parker composition "Donna Lee", one of jazz'south best known contrafacts, a composition that lays a new melody over an existing harmonic structure. Lesser known contrafacts of "Indiana" include Fats Navarro's "Ice Freezes Red"[iii] and Lennie Tristano'due south "Ju-Ju".[4]
In 1934, Joe Young, Jean Schwartz, and Joe Ager wrote "In a Little Red Befouled (On a Farm Down in Indiana)", which non only incorporated notwithstanding key words and phrases above, but whose chorus had the same harmonic construction equally "Indiana". In this respect it was a contrafact of the latter.
