| Description: This rousing traditional sea chanty from New Zealand has benefitted from the recent resurgence of interest in sea chanties in general. Robert Longfield's arrangement in B minor for string orchestra gives all the sections a chance at the melody, and provides interesting textural changes, as well. For added energy, get the audience to stomp along! |
