Never heard it before

Bakkels · 06-22-11, 05:13 PM

'I surrender dear' (I just listened to the chorus, googled the line they sang and got lucky

) The file says it's Lionel Hampton, but if you search for that, you get an instrumental. So I don't know if it's actually him. Seems like more people performed this song. Most versions I came across were instrumental btw (Louis Armstrong for example) The title I'm pretty sure is correct though.

Sailor Steve · 06-22-11, 05:35 PM

This is obviously the same version. If the person who uploaded it is to be trusted, it's Charlie Spivak and orchestra, with vocals by The Stardusters.

The version on this recording seems to confirm it.

I looked at several for-sale listings on Amazon just to compare the 3:21 length of the song, but not one of them had time listings. Still it seems fairly certain.

You are wonderful men !
I luv you.
BIG THANKS !

What a song mates, what a song !!!
Listen this so sweet voices, it's marvelous

Thank you very much.

Chisum · 06-22-11, 07:05 PM

I try to decode the song on my piano, but I
had only found the range, it is in F# major.
But the Chords are very difficult to find. A bemol
minor - G minor but after...
No musician here to help me ?

Bakkels · 06-22-11, 07:06 PM

And thank you for bringing it to my attention. This field of music isn't my expertise but I really like this tune!

Sailor Steve · 06-22-11, 08:53 PM

Sorry, I don't currently have an instrument to make chords on. Electric bass doesn't help with this problem. You might check around online for the sheet music.

Oh, here's Bing Crosby performing his very first hit, circa 1931.

frau kaleun · 06-22-11, 09:11 PM

Is this it?

I hope the pic shows up. If not, here's the URL:

And what the heck is "Tempo di Beethoven swing"? I haz an intrigued.

Edit: if you google 'i surrender dear sheet music' you'll find some different variations, some have lyrics but I can't tell from the first page (which is often all they'll show you) if it's the same song sung in the Spivak video. OTOH it was not uncommon with big band tunes for the vocal portions to consist only of selected parts of the lyrics rather than verses (or all the verses) plus the chorus. So I really can't tell. If you play piano though maybe you can get enough from the one page of sheet music to ID the melody for sure.

Sailor Steve · 06-22-11, 09:16 PM

I found several of those. Unfortunately none of them are complete. You want the whole thing, you have to buy it.

frau kaleun · 06-22-11, 09:23 PM

I think the really important question here is what constitutes the tempo of Beethoven Swing and where can I find a sample to listen to.

I've already googled videos for the song title + Fats Waller and got nothin.' Harumph.

Chisum · 06-22-11, 11:27 PM

I have something like a tears at the corner of my eyes because you are really a great community.

I gonna try to read this partition and if I can play it I'll be back later with the result, only for you.

Thank you all.

@Frau Kaleun/Beethoven Swing

There is a variation (the third variation) in the second movement of Beethoven's 32nd piano sonata that "swings" to a modern listener.
It seems to anticipate a Jazz variation 100 years before the 1920's.

'I surrender dear' (Harry Barris, Gordon Clifford) is composed to be played in 'Beethoven Swing':
