Christmas Revels Sea Songs |
Christmas Revels has a fascinating collection of sea songs, ballads and chanteys. There are various albums, which are a collection of these categories of songs and poems. Here is Christmas Carnivals with information on the Christmas Revels Sea Songs, Ballads and Chanteys.
Homeward Bound is one such album, which includes some of the most touching ballads along with the very robust chanteys. The chanteys are songs, which are sung by sailors while they rowed the boats or while they lifted the anchors or while clearing the decks. This album poignantly captures the mood of the life of the sailors through the songs of various shades and temperament. Safe in the Harbor is another collection, which is a unique blend of traditional and modern songs, which talks about the lives of the sailors. David Coffin has recorded this album and he has included in it two of his works in order to commemorate the building of two clipper ships, which were build in Boston. Blow, Ye Winds in the Morning is an album, which is compiled by the phenomenal John Langstaff and it includes some of the muscular chanteys juxtaposed with the songs filled with the lamentation and sadness of the unreliable and danger filled life at the sea. There are 21 songs in this collection, which include songs like "Blow, Ye Winds", " Cape Cod Girls", " Pleasant and Delightful" and "Leave Her, Johnny". Besides these you will also find the delightful collection of the maritime songs in the album Across the Western Ocean and Nantucket Sleighride, which depict the life at the sea in different flavors in eash of their songs and ballads.
