From the mid-nineteenth century, sea shanties are prevalent in literature for tenor-bass choruses. They were the music of sailors sung as they worked to help lighten their heavy work and to relieve the repetitive boredom of heaving, pushing, and turning. Here, Bill Cutter gives us a brief arrangement perfect for an encore or concert closer. Try it with high school, college/university, or community choruses.
