SKU: AP.48891

Arranged by Jack Zaino. Performance Music Ensemble; Single Titles. Alfred Choral Designs. Folk; Novelty; Secular; Traditional. Choral Octavo. 16 pages. Alfred Music #00-48891. Published by Alfred Music (AP.48891).

UPC: 038081562155. 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.

There's a place for this lyrical folk-inspired original on every program. It's a gentle ballad with traditional treble harmony, readable rhythms, and a tuneful melody sung in the most comfortable range. The optional flute part (available as a download) is as legato and flowing as the tender voices and arpeggiated piano. Winding road, western wind, golden moon, silver stars . . . take me home.
