UPC: 038081562148. English. Traditional Sea Ballad.

Clamoring to join the sea song craze? Here's an exceptionally well-prepared traditional sea ballad that is equal parts authentic and enjoyable. Dating back to the mid 1700s, this rollicking nautical adventure (probably from England or Scotland) tells the story of a ship's captain who spots a mermaid in the distance. Since mermaids were thought to bring bad luck, the whole crew panics! A chorus of sailors, a captain, the chef, and a parrot take turns expressing their woe---often in a comedic way. Singers will quickly be hooked, so directors can sink into the educational merits to uncover many hidden treasures. View the arranger's intro video for even more history and teaching ideas.

This musical tribute to the aurora borealis flickers and flashes with colorful imagery. Carefully crafted for 2-part singers, it opens with independent parts that come together in a glowing chorus like lights swirling in the winter sky. An optional descant at the end adds even more sparkle. What a beautiful sight!
