PROGRAM NOTES
Bobby McFerrin surprises us again, bringing it all
back home with his new album, spirityouall. Now
Bobby invites us to sit on the stoop awhile
and listen as he throws some unexpected new
ingredients into the melting pot and reinvents
Americana. He invites us back to the great folk
tradition of lifting our voices to sing together
through life's trials and triumphs.
Spirityouall features beloved familiar tunes like
He's Got the Whole World In His Hands and
Every Time I Feel The Spirit alongside original
songs which explore Bobby's everyday search for
grace, wisdom and freedom. The new material
ranges from a celebratory hoedown (Rest) to a
polemic anthem (Woe), to a down and dirty
blues setting of Psalm 25:15. This project
embraces Bobby's folk, rock and blues
influences without abandoning his fearless
improvisational approach or his never-ending
exploration of the human voice. He moves
seamlessly between lyrics and wordless lines,
trading phrases with his band, inviting the
audience to sing along. Bobby loves to sing this

music, and it shows: spirityouall raises the roof
with joyful grooves.
Spirityouall continues Bobby's life-long quest to
integrate all the influences of the musical
universe. But as in so many great American tales,
sometimes it turns out that everything one is
searching for is in one’s own backyard. The
project honors the legacy of Bobby's father, the
great operatic baritone Robert McFerrin, Sr., the
first African American to sign a contract with the
Metropolitan Opera Company and a renowned
interpreter of the American Negro Spiritual. "I
always thought that someday I'd sing these
songs," Bobby says, "and that I'd have to find a
way of doing it that was completely different
from my father's approach. I think the idea has
been kicking around for at least a couple of
decades. And it was finally time." Three of the
traditional numbers featured on spirityouall—the
opening track Every Time I Feel the Spirit, Swing
Low Sweet Chariot and Fix Me, Jesus—also
appeared on the senior McFerrin's 1957 album
Deep River, but similarities end there. The
spirituals are about liberation and courage, the
human condition, the pioneering spirit, the
search for strength in the face of adversity and
the journey toward a better place, and Bobby's
versions reach for new territory.
Spirityouall is a deeply personal statement for
Bobby McFerrin. “I couldn’t do anything without
faith," he says. "I couldn’t open up my eyes, I
couldn’t walk, I couldn’t speak, I couldn’t sing.
What I want everyone to experience at the end of
my concerts is . . . .this sense of rejoicing. I don't
want the audience to be blown away by what I
do, I want them to have this sense of real joy,
from the depths of their being. Then you open
up a place where grace can come in." Lift your
voice, open your heart, and sing along.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
For decades Bobby McFerrin has broken all the
rules. The ten-time Grammy winner has blurred
the distinction between pop music and fine
art, goofing around barefoot in the world's
finest concert halls, exploring uncharted vocal
territory, inspiring a whole new generation of a
cappella singers and the beatbox movement.
His latest album, spirityouall, is a bluesy, feelgood recording, an unexpected move from
the music-industry rebel who singlehandedly
redefined the role of the human voice with his a
cappella hit Don't Worry, Be Happy, his
collaborations with Yo-Yo Ma, Chick Corea
and the Vienna Philharmonic, his improvising
choir Voicestra, and his legendary solo vocal
performances.
It's been the quietest and most polite of
revolutions. Bobby McFerrin was always an
unlikely pop star. He created a lasting ear-worm
of a number one hit early in his career. Then
he calmly went back to pursuing his own
iconoclastic musical journey, improvising on
national television, singing melodies without
words, spontaneously inventing parts for 60,000
choral singers in a stadium in Germany, ignoring
boundaries of genre, defying all expectations.
Most people don't know that Bobby came
from a family of singers. Bobby's father, the
Metropolitan Opera baritone Robert McFerrin,
Sr., provided the singing voice for Sydney Poitier
for the film version of Porgy & Bess, and his
mother Sara was a fine soprano soloist and voice
teacher. Bobby grew up surrounded by music of
all kinds. He remembers conducting Beethoven
on the stereo at three, hiding under the piano
ABOUT THE ARTIST
CONTINUED
while his father and mother coached young
singers, dancing around the house to Louis
Armstrong, Judy Garland, Etta Jones and Fred
Astaire. He played the clarinet seriously as a
child, but he began his musical career as a
pianist, at the age of 14. He led his own jazz
groups, studied composition, toured with the
show band for the Ice Follies, played for dance
classes. Then one day he was walking home
and suddenly he understood that he had been a
singer all along.
Bobby's history as an instrumentalist and
bandleader is key to understanding his
innovative approach to mapping harmony and
rhythm (as well as melody) with his voice. "I can't
sing everything at once," he says, "but I can hint
at it so the audience hears even what I don't
sing." All that pioneer spirit and virtuosity has
opened up a great big sky full of new options for
singers; so have Bobby's experiments in multitracking his voice (Don't Worry, Be Happy has
seven separate, over-dubbed vocal tracks;
Bobby's choral album VOCAbuLarieS, with
Roger Treece, has thousands). But virtuosity
isn't the point. "I try not to ‘perform’ onstage,"
says Bobby. "I try to sing the way I sing in my
kitchen, because I just can't help myself. I want
audiences to leave the theater and sing in
their own kitchens the next morning. I want to
bring audiences into the incredible feeling of
joy and freedom I get when I sing." For more

McFerrin last performed at the Hopkins Center

GABRIELA MONTERO piano
Wed | Apr 16 | 7 pM | spAulding AuditoriuM
This Venezuelan-born artist refreshes the classical repertoire,
playing with “crackling rhythmic brio, subtle shadings, steely
power...soulful lyricism...unsentimental expressivity” (The New
York Times). Her Hop concert includes Brahms’ Three Intermezzos,
Op. 117, among his most personal and moving compositions; and
Schumann’s Fantasy in C Major, Op. 17, considered a defining
Romantic work. She’ll also offer her fascinating improvisations
based on audience-suggested tunes that she transforms into
impromptu “classical” compositions.

DARTMOUTH COLLEGE GOSPEL CHOIR
Reunify!
WalT CunningHaM director

Some favorite voices from Cunningham’s 11 years at the
helm of this choir join the ensemble in this reunion
concert. Get ready to groove to some gospel choir
favorites—with new songs sprinkled in to the mix, for
a not-to-be-missed program. With a punch-packing
20-piece band and high-energy numbers, it’s rousing
music, community and just a good ol’ time.
MARTHA REDBONE ROOTS PROJECT
THu | May 1 | 7 PM | SPaulDing auDiTOriuM
If you like the Carolina Chocolate Drops, get ready for Martha Redbone!
Kentucky-born, Brooklyn-raised and of Cherokee, Choctaw and AfricanAmerican descent, Martha Redbone inhabits the crossroads of American
culture. Leading a great band of roots-acoustic players, she delivers a unique,
award-winning blend of Native American rhythms mixed with funk, Appalachian
folk and Piedmont blues. The concert draws on her latest CD, in which she
wraps her “supremely soulful” (MOJO) voice and melodies around the work
of visionary 19th-century English poet William Blake.
American Sign Language Interpreted
