Rousing songs from the age of sail
A cheerful collection of songs from the sea for the armchair sailor. Sea shanties were often sung to help with the repetitive and back breaking tasks neede to sail a big ship - good rhythms, good tunes and good words.
Sea shanties have always had a purpose - to make men work by getting into a rhythm which would help them to carry out the unbelievably physically demanding tasks associated with sailing a large ship. So we have good words, good tunes and good rhythms, the very nature of the repetitions of phrases and melodies building up each shanty into a quite substantial piece of music. The subjects of these songs vary from sad to happy, from funny to tragic, witty to baudy - and often we can hear most of these types in a single song! This is clever stuff; strange stories and concepts are woven into musical patterns, the many verses Editing impetus with each repetition.
