Stories in Music: Casey at the Bat

In this CD and activity book package, Grammy nominated conductor Stephen Simon sets Casey at the Bat, the classic baseball poem written by Ernest Lawrence Thayer, to a jazzy, upbeat musical score. Featuring the London Philharmonic Orchestra and narrator Yadu, the music is highlighted with cheering crowds, vendors hawking their wares, the cheers of spectators and the sounds of the ball being hit which bring the story to life. A guest appearance by the Michigan State University Band and educational tracks make this recording a must have for baseball fans of all ages.
