Across the Western Ocean
Traditional Sea Shanty
Across the Western Ocean
This sea chanty, from the mid-1800s, is inspired by the Irish immigrants escaping the great potato famine of their home country. Driven by a half note pulse, this piece has many ballad-like qualities with an accompaniment that propells the piece forward. It makes a wonderful selection for developing male voices teaching energetic 3-part singing.
Voicing: TTB
