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.
