Description
Songs of Sailor and Sea celebrates man's eternal fascination with the sea and the centuries of seamen who have battled its powerful waves and mysterious depths. Commissioned by the United States Navy Band, this three-movement work depicts shipboard life with a 'Sea Chanty,' creatures of the sea with 'Whale Song,' and finally, the American Clipper Ships with 'Racing the Yankee Clipper.' Expanded percussion richly enhances this dramatically descriptive musical narrative. This is a major contribution to the concert band repertoire! (7:57)

We did a full level 6 program my senior year and this was the cherry on top, learning this song was a task but we ended up getting gold and winning a Hershey competition with this song so it holds a special place in my heart. By far one of my favorite pieces

I stumbled upon this and was able to sing along with it all. I haven't heard it since about 2001 and still remember it!

I played clarinet 2 for this. IT WAS SO FUN! It was so upbeat and I love everything about it! It was jazzy to me and I couldn't help but dance in my seat a little when the groovy parts came on! I wanna play this with a full band again. It sounds amazing.
