About The Shanty Book - Part 1
A Classic Collection of Sea Songs, Shanties, and Work Music Try your hand at some classic sea tunes, chanteys, and work songs with The Shanty Book, Part 1, a collection of 30 sea songs from Richard Runciman Terry first published in 1921. Sing along with some of the most famous as well as lesser known sea song titles, which were often also used as popular pub and drinking songs. Includes multi-part harmony and lyrics for each piece, which are essential for a rhythmic work song! In this volume, Terry provides a brief synopsis on the included shanty tunes, along with a description of shanties in general, the history of the genre, and the methods on how he collected the tunes for this volume. Printed in full 8.5 x 11” format, 30 different sea songs are included, which sample popular windlass, capstan, halliard, fore-sheet or sweating-up, and bunt shanties of the age: Billy Boy Bound for the Rio Grande Good-bye, Fare Ye Well Johnny Come Down to Hilo Clear the Track, Let the Bullgine Run Lowlands Away Sally Brown Santy Anna Shenandoah Stormalong John The Hog’s-Eye Man The Wild Goose Shanty We’re All Bound to Go What Shall We Do with the Drunken Sailor?
