Quire Cleveland celebrates the success of the Cleveland Indians baseball team in 2017, with a parody of Henry Purcell's "Come ye sons of Art." This was an encore for our performance of anthems by Purcell. The soloists are Elena Mullins, soprano, and John McElliott, countertenor, with Peter Bennett, organ. Here are the lyrics:

Lindor, Santana / Encarnacion, Kipnis
Gomes, Ramirez, / Bruce, Francona
Chisenhall, Alomar
Cleveland’s heroes you’ll be crown’d.
You make Lake Erie’s shores resound

Kluber, Carrasco / Bauer, Tomlin
Shaw and Allen / Dan Otero,
Clevinger, Salazar,
Miller: Masters of the mound.
You make Lake Erie’s shores resound.

Your exciting baseball,
exciting baseball play.
Oh, if you could win it all:
playoffs, American League, yes, win it all —
World Series — we’d be standing tall.
We’d celebrate,
we’d celebrate the glories of the day
the glories, the glories of the day!

Come all ye baseball fans
Wahoo! Hooray!
To Progressive Field we’ll go
see the Indians play.
Lift all your voices
their labors repay
Let’s celebrate
Let’s celebrate their triumphant day.
Buy me some peanuts,
forever we’ll stay.
Let’s celebrate
Let’s celebrate their triumphant day.
