A MIDI file of the musical arrangement can be found at the URL listed at the top of this page. If your computer is able to play the music you can just get a hold of a tape recorder with an input jack and plug it into your computer's headphone jack to make your own accompaniment tape. Alternately, if you have access to Orff instruments and need help with realizing the parts please feel free to contact me. Additionally, a wonderful old song about Columbus and the game of baseball can be found at the following URL: http://www.concentric.net/~Gamba/columbo.html The song dates back to 1911 (out of copyright) with words by Ring Lardner. http://www.concentric.net/~Gamba (Children's Songs by D.F.Saphra) Submit Lesson   Search   Browse   Request Lesson
