ca. 5’00”

Take Me Out to the (Beautiful) Game 2022 is a medley of football anthems combined with original music and lyrics written for a barbershop chorus! Using the verse of Blaydon Races (the anthem of my favorite team, Newcastle United) as a refrain, we tour football teams around the world in order to find the best one, visiting Arsenal, Newcastle United, Liverpool, Leeds United, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Chelsea, Roma, Lazio, A.C. Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, Barcelona, and Real Madrid. Jokes and football/music references abound!

Take Me Out to the (Beautiful) Game was commissioned by the Diocesan Boys' School Old Boys' Association Choir; Ronnie Kay-yen Cheng, conductor.
