The Keel Row

Traditional Northumbrian Sea Shanty




The Keel Row

The Keel Row

Originating as a traditional Tyne River Shanty for the transport of coal, this sturdy tune will fit well in a program of folk music, with a steady rowing motion in the accompaniment and a dancelike melody that passes among the voice parts for textural interest. The SAB voicing is adapted from a previous a cappella edition.

Voicing: SAB

The Keel Row : SAB : Cristi Cary Miller : Songbook : 01312744 : 196288177838 : 8350109602

Cristi Cary Miller : The Keel Rownew

Arranging a beloved traditional song can be a difficult task, as one must walk a delicate tightrope - add fresh appeal, but not to the point of obscuring the song's simplicity and raw, authentic humanity. Cristi Cary Miller passes this test with flying colors, turning out a delightful rendition of the Tyneside folk song The Keel Row. Alive with dancing rhythms and frolicking counterpoint, with an optional flute part to add sparkle.
