Sea Chanteys

Various

Description

“Sea Chanteys” is a vintage collection of traditional sailor songs. Also known as shanties or chanteys, these songs were tropically sang by sailors aboard ships in order to boost morale and to be sung during some of the more tedious duties of required by the seafaring life. Each song comes complete with the original lyrics and clear sheet music, and are perfect for those with an interest in learning or performing traditional sea songs. Contents include: “Eight Bells”, “Away to Rio!”, “As Off to the South'ard We Go”, “A-Roving”, “Old Man Noah”, “High Barbary”, “Mobile Bay”, and “The Mermaid”. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on folk music.

Folk Music
Folk music includes both traditional music and the genre that evolved from it during the twentieth century folk revival. Traditional folk music has been broadly defined as music transmitted orally, without a single composer , as contrasted with commercial and classical styles.
A consistent and all-encompassing definition of traditional folk music is elusive however. The terms folk music, folk song , and folk dance are comparatively recent expressions.
