It is not
only the great success of
Nathan Evans' re-release
of The Wellerman on
social media that is
responsible for the great
popularity of sea
shanties and naval songs.
Such songs create a
unique mood, a touch of
adventure and wanderlust
for the big, wide world.
Hardly anyone can elude
it and with Vahid
Matejko's Sea Shanty
Play-Alongs there are now
the most beautiful sea
shanties and naval songs
skillfully arranged as an
instrumental play-along
series for recorder,
flute, clarinet,
saxophone, trumpet (opt.
baritone T.C.), trombone
(opt. baritone B.C.),
violin, and accordion
(piano).
The varied
arrangements have a wide
stylistic range and offer
echoes from rock, Latin,
funk, big band to
orchestral and Caribbean
influences. Thus, each
song has its own musical
and instrumental appeal,
to which the parts and/or
solos specially composed
by arranger Vahid Matejko
also contribute. The
original polyphonic
choral vocals are
replaced by polyphonic
instrumental
backings.
Each of the
ten titles was recorded
live by excellent
professional musicians
and is available in two
different versions: ? a
demo-track which features
a live accordion
performance by Filip
Erakovic, a specialist
for classical and
contemporary accordion
music and docent at the
University of Wuppertal,
Germany.
? a minus-one
mix for you to
play-along.
This
edition is also suitable
for accordion
players.
