As in the original, the mice regularly break into song, but perhaps the biggest logistical feat is a choir of cats: At the climax, a human band also gets caught up in the mayhem: Lyrics: A Randy Newman song, performed by Peter Gabriel, “That’ll do”, runs over the first part of the end titles roller, following by an orchestral re-statement of the theme. It’s preceded by the narrator, saying, as Farmer Hoggett gets his new pump for the well working: Narrator: “And finally, dear ones, the pig and the farmer were content again in each other’s company, and things were back to where they started, more or less.” Watched anxiously by Mrs Hoggett, with a “hmm”, the farmer gets a tap working in the barn. As music begins to swell, he looks into the camera, as if it were Babe: Farmer Hoggett: “That’ll do piggie, that’ll do.” A few beats from the trio, the Hoggetts and Babe, and an iris wipe takes Babe to black, and the song begins, with lyrics as heard in the film: A kind and steady heart Can make a grey sky blue And a task that seems impossible Is quite possible for you A kind and steady heart Is sure to see you through It may not seem like very much right now But it’ll do, it’ll do ... When you find yourself in the middle of a storm And you’re tired and cold and wet And you’re looking for a place that’s cosy and warm You’ll make it, if you never forget... A kind and steady heart Can conquer doubt and fear A little courage goes a long, long way Gets you little bit further down the road each day And before you know it you’ll hear someone say That’ll do, Babe … that’ll do … (instrumental interlude) A kind and steady heart Is sure to see you through A little courage goes a long, long way Gets you little bit further down the road each day And before you know it you’ll hear someone say That’ll do … that’ll do …that’ll do, Babe … that’ll do … The song fades out and an orchestral suite with diverse themes takes over for the rest of the end credits roller.

  • Bachman, Ezrin, Pieczonka Honoured by Royal Conservatory of Music David Rockne Corrigan
    May 23, 2013 MUSIC Bachman, Ezrin, Pieczonka honoured by Royal Conservatory of Music David Rockne Corrigan Randy Bachman, Bob Ezrin, and Adrianne Pieczonka were named Honourary Fellows of The Royal Conservatory of Music on Wednesday night at Toronto’s Koerner Hall. At the Royal Occasion Gala, audience members were treated to performances by the internationally-acclaimed musicians. Pieczonka, an alumna of The Royal Conservatory, is a soprano opera singer who has performed all over the world. Raised in Burlington, she looks back fondly on her time studying piano at the Royal Conservatory in Hamilton, and she has maintained a relationship since. “I trained at Western University and at U of T but the Royal Conservatory is so close to the faculty of music at U of T that I often spent time there — either practicing or in the wonderful bookshop,” she said. Adrianne Pieczonka, pictured here in 2011, was honoured at last night's "Royal Occasion Gala" at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto. Pieczonka, who is also an Officer of the Order of Canada and recipient of a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal, says Canadians should take pride in their musicians, especially as more people are starting to notice them on the global stage. “Canada is a fantastic place to train as an opera singer,” she said. “I sing all over the world and I am often asked, ‘Why are there so many great Canadian opera singers?’ I think the training is getting even stronger. I am so impressed hearing the young artists in the [Canadian Opera Company's] ensemble program or the students in the voice programs at the universities.” Some of those students were given an opportunity to perform last night–young musicians from the Conservatory’s Glenn Gould School and the Phil and Eli Taylor Performance Academy for Young Artists also took the stage.

  • Bob Ezrin – Primary Wave Music
    BOB EZRIN en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Ezrin The phrase “super-producer” is often used when discussing Bob Ezrin – and with good reason. After all, the Toronto native has been behind the boards of many classic albums, among them Alice Cooper’s Billion Dollar Babies, KISS’ Destroyer, and Pink Floyd’s The Wall. He has also done much to help preserve music education in Canada in the face of devastating government funding cuts. Bob Ezrin was born March 25, 1949, into a musical Toronto family in which his mother played piano and his father, bass. Ezrin’s grandfather, a musical theatre amateur, taught him to dance to Al Jolson’s “Me and My Shadow” when Ezrin was just two. Ezrin went on to learn classical piano at Toronto’s Royal Conservatory of Music and spent off-hours as a teen taking in the likes of Joni Mitchell at his uncle’s music club, The Penny Farthing in the mid-‘60s. At age 19 he was taken under the wing of The Guess Who producer Jack Richardson who sent him to fellow producer Phil Ramone’s Eastman School of Music “boot camp” in Rochester, New York. Upon his return, Richardson sent Ezrin to New York to check out shock rocker Alice Cooper, whose manager Shep Gordon was insistent Richardson produce them. Ezrin was blown away by Cooper’s performance at Max’s Kansas City and ended up co-producing the band’s 1971 album Love It to Death with the initially reluctant Richardson. Ezrin would go on to work with Cooper multiple times, including on his most recent record, 2011’s Welcome 2 My Nightmare.

  • Geffen, David (B
    Geffen, David (b. 1943) by Nathan G. Tipton Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com One of the most feared and admired, revered and reviled figures in the entertainment industry, David Geffen succeeded in transforming himself, either through sheer ingenuity or outright guile, from his humble origins in Brooklyn into one of the most important people in the arenas of corporate rock music, movies, and television. According to Steve Kurutz, Geffen is responsible for guiding the careers of, and forming lasting (if tumultuous) friendships with, countless big-name musical acts, such as The Eagles, Jackson Browne, Nirvana, Elton John, and Cher. Geffen's combative style, as well as his forthright honesty and compulsive competitiveness, however, have earned him many detractors and some outright enemies. For his foes, Geffen exemplifies the greed and excess of the music industry. In their eyes he is a shark who changed the priority from music to money. For others, however, Geffen is regarded as an extraordinarily generous and caring person, one who believes in and supports passionately a diverse array of social and political causes, ranging from homeless shelters to AIDS research. David Lawrence Geffen was born on February 21, 1943 in Brooklyn, the son of Batya and Abraham Geffen, Russian Jewish immigrants who settled in New York in 1931. Although David's older brother Mitchell (b. February 6, 1933) was long considered the family's success story, Abraham and Batya spoiled David, foregoing discipline in favor of extravagant praise, and often referred to him as "King David." Because of this lack of discipline, David struggled in school, and he barely graduated from New Utrecht (New York) High School in 1960 with a final grade average of 73.59.
