Songs of the East Coast Fishermen - Philip Sparke

100 years ago English composer Vaughan Williams visited Norfolk (an area on the east coast of England) to collect and notate folk songs from people of all trades and callings. Accompanied by a local clergyman, he visited The Tilden Smith, a pub which was a favourite haunt of the 'Northenders', the local fishermen, and in less than a week the composer had notated 61 songs. Vaughan Williams incorporated the best of these songs into his own music, most notably in A Norfolk Rhapsody and the Sea Symphony. Philip Sparke has composed this new suite based on five of these folk songs together with King's Lynn, a folk song which Vaughan Williams adapted into a popular hymn tune. Whynot bring a piece of traditional English heritage to any concert with this melodious new work.

Songs of the Sea

Sea shanties have long been a source of tuneful melodies and rollicking rhythms. Johnnie's setting for band features a wide variety of styles and textures, and is a great choice for contest or festival. Included are traditional folk melodies from The Drunken Sailor, The Bonnie Ship the Diamond, Rolling Down to Old Maui, and Wellerman.
