Musicology:

The National Game
Year: 1925
Genre: Other Orchestral
Pr. Instrument: Concert Band

This march was written for the 50th anniversary of baseball's National League. A brief proclamatory introduction with some interesting chromatic turns of melody and harmony leads to the playfully strutting main theme. The trio is quite songful in character, and the rousing break strain features some emphatic chromatic runs.
