Sea Shanty: program notes

I wrote Sea Shanty for the C4 choir “derivation concert”. It is
derived from 12 (somewhat altered) measures of “Brei Yvane”,
from a Bulgarian Women’s Choir CD. From there, it turned into a
sea shanty, perhaps because I was improvising sea shanties for a
dance piece I was writing at the same time this summer. It
received new made up words for exotic sailors to sing. It is a
worker's song – something for sailors to sing while rowing, raising
sails, and scrubbing decks. It comes together when everyone is
doing their job. There are also a few lines portraying the wind and
the waves, perhaps from my days of growing up on Lake Superior.
