Items related to Music of the sea
Featuring shanties, buglers, ships' bands, and traditional scores, this book explores not only the importance of music to those who traveled by sea but also the inspiration the sea has provided for some of the world's most revered composers. Showing both the development of music at sea and the endurance of the sea as a musical theme on land, it displays a wealth of research in an accessible, lively style.

Synopsis:
This study explores the whole range of musical experience in man's relationship with ships and the sea. From shanties to Debussy's "La Mer", from the ceremony of the bosun's call to the songs the pilgrims sang as they sailed to foreign lands. The book also looks at the cross-play of cultures - how sailors and travellers exchanged musical knowledge and musical instruments with peoples of other lands, bringing new ideas and sounds back home.
About the Author:
