Synopsis

Music has been used throughout the ages as a consolation and an inspiration amid the hardships and exhilarations of life at sea. From the shanty and the boatswain's call to the compositions of midshipman Rimsky-Korsakov, from the music Columbus took with him to the New World to the development of the Royal Marines Band Service, this is the first book to fully explore the wide range of musical experience in the story of man's relationship with ships and the sea. Illustrated with images from the National Maritime Museum's Historic Photographs collection, Music of the Sea looks afresh at the weave of cultures - how seafarers exchanged musical skills and knowledge with peoples of other lands, bringing new ideas and sounds back home.Fully revised and edited by Richard Baker, the well-known former BBC newsreader and radio broadcaster.
