Synopsis

Featuring shanties, buglers, ships' bands, and traditional scores, this book explores not only the importance of music to those who traveled by sea but also the inspiration the sea has provided for some of the world's most revered composers. Showing both the development of music at sea and the endurance of the sea as a musical theme on land, it displays a wealth of research in an accessible, lively style.
