About this product

Product Information

Mystic Seaports interpretation programs include a strong sea-music component represented by a staff of eight musicians. This book of chanteys, spiral-bound to open flat for music-stand or other placement, consists of 25 classic sea songs and some of their variants, accompanied by musical notations made by Marc Bernier and explanatory notes from Glenn Grasso. The notes cover some of the history of these songs, and explain how they are used at Mystic Seaport to accompany shipwork done by the Museum's Demonstration Squad. This attractive book is a perfect introduction to the chanteys deepwater sailormen sang as they did their work.

Sea Chanteys, Clean Lyrics, Small Book
I always suspected that, if they cleaned up the lyrics, all those "sailor" songs would fit into one small loose-leaf notebook. They do BUT the people at Mystic have gone further. Earnestly, they relate the lyrics and give clear instructions about how each song was used: to lift (haul) the anchor, to pull in nets, and to perform many activities at ses. You discover that the grunts and emphasis were used to get the sailors to work together and pull hard together at the proper moment to work the mechanisms most effectively. And you can give this one as a gift to your Sunday School Teacher....
