"(Back Home Once again in) Indiana" is a song composed past James F. Hanley with lyrics by Ballard MacDonald that was published in January 1917. Although it is not the state song of Indiana (which is "On the Banks of the Wabash, Far Away"), it is maybe the best-known song that pays tribute to the Hoosier land.
An Indiana signature [edit]
The tune was introduced as a Tin Pan Alley pop vocal of the fourth dimension. Information technology contains a musical quotation from the already well known "On the Banks of the Wabash, Far Away", as well as repetition of words from the lyrics: candlelight, moonlight, fields, new-mown hay, sycamores, and the Wabash River.
Since 1946, the chorus of "Dorsum Domicile 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 song was performed most often past Jim Nabors. He admitted to having the song's lyrics written on his hand during his countdown functioning, and occasionally his versions altered several of the words. The vocals are supported by the Purdue All-American Marching Band. In 2014, Nabors performed the song for the final time later announcing his retirement earlier that year, proverb: "You know, there'due south a time in life when you take to motion on. I'll be 84 this year. I just figured it was fourth dimension ... This is actually the highlight of my year to come here. It'due south very sad for me, but nevertheless there's something inside of me that tells me when it's time to go."[ane]
Afterwards Nabors retired, the honour of singing the song was washed on a rotating basis (which had also been the example prior to Nabors becoming the regular vocalist) in 2015 and 2016. A cappella grouping Direct No Chaser performed in 2015 and the Bound 2014 winner of The Voice Josh Kaufman accompanied by the Indianapolis Children'due south Choir performed in 2016. The Speedway has returned to a standard singer starting in 2017, with Jim Cornelison doing it for five runnings as of the 2021 race.[2]
A jazz standard [edit]
Columbia 78 by the Original Dixieland Jazz Band, 1917
In 1917 it was ane of the electric current pop tunes selected by Columbia Records to be recorded by the Original Dixieland Jazz Band, (ODJB), who released it as a 78 with "Darktown Strutters' Ball". This lively instrumental version past the ODJB was one of the earliest jazz records issued and sold well. The melody became a jazz standard. For years, Louis Armstrong and his All Stars would open up every public performance with the number.
Its chord changes undergird the Charlie Parker composition "Donna Lee", one of jazz'due south best known contrafacts, a composition that lays a new tune over an existing harmonic construction. Lesser known contrafacts of "Indiana" include Fats Navarro'south "Ice Freezes Red"[iii] and Lennie Tristano's "Ju-Ju".[iv]
In 1934, Joe Young, Jean Schwartz, and Joe Ager wrote "In a Little Red Barn (On a Farm Down in Indiana)", which not only incorporated all the same key words and phrases above, but whose chorus had the same harmonic structure as "Indiana". In this respect it was a contrafact of the latter.
