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.

These songs brought me delight and pleasure then, and they still do now, though pleasure has become tinged with nostalgia because, for the most part, they are forgotten and gone from our lives, perhaps forever. This album is an affectionate tribute to their composers and poets; a few were renowned, most were obscure or unknown, but the songs they created were famous, and I remember them fondly." - John Rutter Songlist: The Bold Grenadier, The Keel Row, The Willow Tree, The Sprig Of Thyme, Down By The Sally Gardens, The Cuckoo, I Know Where I'm Going, Willow Song, O Can You Sew Cushions, The Miller Of Dee, Im Herbst, The Girl I Left Behind Me, O Waly, Waly, The British Grenadiers, Golden Slumbers, Dashing Away With The Smoothing Iron, The Lark In The Clear Air, She's Like The Swallow, Searching For The Lambs, The Dark Eyed Sailor, The Spring Time Of The Year, Just As The Tide Was Flowing, The Lover' Ghost, Wassail Song, She Moved Through The Fair St Charles Singers : I Know Where I'm Going Rarely heard works by English composer/conductor John Rutter are highlighted on this highly acclaimed disc by the St. Charles Singers.

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.
Arranger: Cristi Cary Miller
