Hark the Sound
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Hark the Sound" is the alma mater (song) of the University of North Carolina. It was written by William Starr Myers (class of 1897), a member of the UNC Glee Club at the time. It is sung at the end of athletic events (win or lose) and other university gatherings, and is one of many alma maters set to the music of "Annie Lisle".
It is usually followed by a rendition of Carolina's fight song, "I'm a Tar Heel Born"—even during formal occasions.[1]
Since 2008, an acoustic version of the song has been played before the start of football and basketball games.
