[DRUMS PLAYING]

00:01:06.220 --> 00:01:07.220
Hey!

00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:14.500
Hi everyone I'm Jim Ryan and welcome to
the fifth episode of Arts on the Hill

00:01:14.500 --> 00:01:20.080
the digital edition so you just heard
performers from a UVA course entitled

00:01:20.080 --> 00:01:25.869
Learn to Groove Advanced I hope you
enjoyed it as much as I did and I hope

00:01:25.869 --> 00:01:30.220
you're doing well I am sure this is
getting old for you being cooped up it's

00:01:30.220 --> 00:01:34.960
certainly getting old for me but it is
at times like this I think that arts are

00:01:34.960 --> 00:01:39.759
incredibly important they're like food
for the soul and I hope you'll find this

00:01:39.759 --> 00:01:45.009
episode especially nourishing up next
you're going to hear from my friend and

00:01:45.009 --> 00:01:50.289
UVA alum Katie Couric who is going to
read and talk briefly about a poem by

00:01:50.289 --> 00:01:54.580
Elizabeth Bishop I want to thank Katie
for participating as well as all the

00:01:54.580 --> 00:01:59.649
other performers and a special thanks to
our inimitable host Matt Weber my

00:01:59.649 --> 00:02:03.040
colleague and friend enjoy and be well

00:02:04.440 --> 00:02:10.200
Elizabeth Bishop is a fascinating woman
and the poem can be analyzed on so

00:02:10.200 --> 00:02:15.340
many levels maybe Jim you can lead a
discussion on this but Greg Orr who's a

00:02:15.340 --> 00:02:21.640
professor at UVA participated along with
Mary Chapin Carpenter another Virginian

00:02:21.640 --> 00:02:27.190
in an episode my friend Lisa New did all
about this poem with various people

00:02:27.190 --> 00:02:32.109
reading it including Mary Chapin
Carpenter Sheryl Sandberg and me

00:02:32.109 --> 00:02:34.619
along with Greg Orr

00:02:37.040 --> 00:02:41.600
This poem is One Art
by Elizabeth Bishop:

00:02:41.600 --> 00:02:47.680
the art of losing isn't hard to master so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost that

00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:53.079
their loss is no disaster lose something
every day except the fluster of lost door

00:02:53.079 --> 00:02:57.940
keys the hour badly spent the art of
losing isn't hard to master

00:02:57.940 --> 00:03:04.209
then practice losing farther losing
faster places and names and where it was

00:03:04.209 --> 00:03:10.080
you meant to travel none of these will
bring disaster I lost my mother's watch

00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:16.140
and look my last or next to last of
three loved houses went the art of

00:03:16.140 --> 00:03:22.340
losing isn't hard to master I lost two
cities lovely ones and vaster some

00:03:22.340 --> 00:03:29.720
realms I owned two rivers a continent I
miss them but it wasn't a disaster even

00:03:29.720 --> 00:03:36.300
losing you the joking voice a gesture I
love I shan't have lied it's evident

00:03:36.300 --> 00:03:40.290
the art of losing is
not too hard to master though it may

00:03:40.290 --> 00:03:44.640
look like write it like disaster.

00:03:45.660 --> 00:03:48.860
There once was a Hoo named Couric whose career

00:03:48.870 --> 00:03:57.060
has risen meteoric are limericks poetry?
I think so technically oh Katie you make

00:03:57.060 --> 00:04:01.680
us feel euphoric thank you to Miss
Couric and of course Poetry in America

00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:07.980
for that clip speaking of all things
euphoric and allegoric the music of the

00:04:07.980 --> 00:04:12.980

Butterflies all havin' fun, you know what I mean

Sleep in peace when day is done, that's what I mean

00:05:59.300 --> 00:06:03.000
And this old world is a new world

00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:05.000
And a bold world

00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:07.000
For me

00:06:11.200 --> 00:06:13.200
For me

00:06:20.100 --> 00:06:26.140

I'm feeling good

00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:15.680
definitely feeling good better in fact
from having watched that rendition

00:07:15.699 --> 00:07:20.440
congratulations and really great job
editing that our next guest on Arts on

00:07:20.440 --> 00:07:25.780
the Hill is UVA alum and acclaimed
singer-songwriter Kate Bollinger who

00:07:25.780 --> 00:07:29.100
brought a guitar and some music to her
picnic

00:07:32.340 --> 00:07:39.140
Some days I wake up and there's magic

00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:48.680
Some days I wake up and it's tragic, or so it seems to me

00:07:49.220 --> 00:07:54.760
Why don't I meet you somewhere static?

00:07:54.760 --> 00:08:01.940
You'd be in disbelief, but she wouldn't be me

00:08:04.980 --> 00:08:11.820
Why does it feel like it's always Sunday?

00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:18.500
Never thought I'd have a problem with that

00:08:21.380 --> 00:08:27.200
Why do I waste half of the day in my head

00:08:27.200 --> 00:08:35.280
Buckled by the fear of something only I can feel

00:08:37.220 --> 00:08:50.680
I've been away, I've been away, Oh as long as you've been away, I've been away

00:08:52.860 --> 00:09:06.700
I've been away, I've been away, Just as sure as you've been away, I've been away

00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:16.340
Why do I cower when the phone rings?

00:09:18.160 --> 00:09:23.780
Then I'm lonesome and with regret

00:09:26.020 --> 00:09:33.640
Why do I waste half of the day in my head?

00:09:41.760 --> 00:09:56.020
I've been away, I've been away, Oh as long as you've been away, I've been away

00:09:57.620 --> 00:10:11.380
I've been away, I've been away, Just as sure as you've been away, I've been away

00:10:13.680 --> 00:10:26.520
I've been away, I've been away, Just as sure as you've been away, I've been away

00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:43.780
I've been away, I've been away, Just as sure as you've been away, I've been away

00:10:45.500 --> 00:10:50.610
Thank You Kate our next piece is
something I could definitely never sing

00:10:50.610 --> 00:10:55.160
and it's called something I'm not sure I'm
going to be able to pronounce but I'm

00:10:55.160 --> 00:10:59.860
gonna give it a try
it's a Schubert song called Frühlingsglaube

00:10:59.860 --> 00:11:07.200
how did I do? pretty close.
next on Arts on the Hill

00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:29.340
for those tracking this show over the
past five weeks yes I know I need a

00:14:29.350 --> 00:14:33.160
haircut
our final piece today is special it's

00:14:33.160 --> 00:14:36.120
historic it's a compilation and
performance by the wonderful

00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:40.180
Chamber Singers they would have been performing
this on Grounds this spring but it was

00:14:40.180 --> 00:14:44.770
cancelled but we get to hear it tonight
with faculty accompaniment on digital

00:14:44.770 --> 00:14:48.339

00:14:48.339 --> 00:14:53.950
saved this one for the final act of the
show if appropriate and safe we hope you

00:14:53.950 --> 00:14:58.620

quarantined with

[PIANO PLAYING]

00:15:13.620 --> 00:15:19.980
Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind?

00:15:19.980 --> 00:15:26.640
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?

00:15:30.300 --> 00:15:36.420
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne,

00:15:36.420 --> 00:15:43.420
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

00:15:50.580 --> 00:15:58.980
That good old song of Wah-hoo-wah—we'll sing it o'er and o'er

00:15:58.980 --> 00:16:08.280
It cheers our hearts and warms our blood to hear them shout and roar

00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:21.420
We come from old Virginia, where all is bright and gay

00:16:21.420 --> 00:16:30.460
Let's all join hands and give a yell for dear old UVA.

00:17:05.140 --> 00:17:09.140
oh I bet you thought we forgot to end
the show with kids playing music no no

00:17:09.140 --> 00:17:14.659
no UVA alum Jess Hamilton submitted this
of her son Smitty serenading their cat

00:17:14.659 --> 00:17:18.559
Spy spoiler alert the cat is less than

00:17:18.560 --> 00:17:26.060
impressed and dare I say even a bit
hostile have a good week everyone and be well
