Baseball song by Joseph Warren Yoder — Lyrics
Let’s off for a jolly good game of ball,
That’s the game that is loved by all;
It trains the eye, the hand the brain,
And brings new life to us all again.
Baseball, baseball,
The great American game,
Baseball, baseball,
The path that leads to fame;
Throw the ball with a light’ning speed,
Biff it hard and then take a lead;
If health and strength we all have need,

About Baseball song
This spirited SATB setting of an English text celebrates America's pastime with infectious enthusiasm. The composer captures the excitement of a baseball game through lively rhythms and a robust choral texture, depicting the action from the pitcher's throw to the batter's swing and the runner's dash. The music effectively mirrors the text's joyful call to play, emphasizing skill, honor, and the health-giving benefits of the sport. This is an ideal choice for a concert program seeking a cheerful and engaging secular part-song that embodies the spirit of camaraderie and athletic endeavor.
