A cappella Publisher Desc.  Reminiscent of the treasured Robert Shaw sea chanty and glee club arrangements, this jovial work will bring joy and brotherhood to your mens choir rehearsals and performances. In 6/8 meter and an accessible melodic range, the work evolves into a new texture with each new stanza of the famous Ernest Lawrence Thayer poem. There are opportunities for solos and a small ensemble for singers to be in the spotlight. Take a swing with your mens choir, and your audience will enjoy this work like its a night out at the ballpark! This composition is the Second Prize winner (Tenor/Bass Choir) in the 2023 ACDA Composition Focus Prize.
