Solent Shanty Sing includes existing shanties and new songs written for and about Southampton, Isle of White, Portsmouth and wider Hampshire. Some of the shanties in this book were collected locally by the folk song collectors of the early 1900s and can be found in the Vaughan Williams Memorial Library online. Many of the songs were inspired by school children who contributed ideas and drawings, and sometimes words. Songs can be adapted and song arrangements are very flexible.
This book was curated, compiled, arranged, designed and sometimes composed by sound artist and composer Dr Emily Peasgood, with the support of musicians Dani Osoba and Sam Slattery.
The Songbook (PDF), lyrics presentation, and all audio files are accessible via the buttons below.
Below you will find all the vocal resources for this project with downloadable sound files, scores and lyric sheets.
