IN WHAT MAY BE THE FIRST BOOK OF ITS KIND, DONALD P. SCOBY PRESENTS THE SHANTY PIPER!
In the days of tall ships it was neither the wind nor the water but the crewmen’s labour that was the driving force of merchant vessels. In response to the rhythms of the work and never-ending shipboard tasks, sailors the world over developed a unique culture of singing. These songs became known as Sea Shanties. Today, Great Highland Bagpipers and Scottish Smallpipers can play their music using this unique book!
THE SHANTY PIPER offers a unique collection of shanties, chanties, shipboard work songs, and maritime music for Scottish bagpipes – along with history, trivia, lyrics, and nautical artwork. Featured Tunes Include over thirty favourites such as – A Hundred Years Ago * Amsterdam Maid * Away, Rio! * Blow The Man Down * Blow Ye Wind Westerly * Blow Ye Winds In The Morning * Bully In The Alley * Chesapeake And Shannon * Donkey Riding * The Dreadnought * Drunken Sailor * The Fish Of The Sea * Hanging Johnny * Haul Away Joe * The Hog-Eye Man * Hullabaloo Belay * The Landlady Of France * Leave Her, Johnny, Leave Her * The Leaving Of Liverpool * Little By Little (Aka Beag Air Bheag) and Setting A Course For Lewis * Mingulay Boat Song * New York Girls * Oh Shenandoah * Outward And Homeward Bound * Roll The Old Chariot Along * Rolling Down To Old Maui * Rolling Home To Old New England * Soon May The Wellerman Come * South Australia * We’ll Rant And We’ll Roar

Shanty Piper
This is a very well researched and great collection of tunes, arranged nicely for pipes which makes it one of a kind. The history of sea shanties and the background of each tune was interesting and informative, and sometimes entertaining, making this a very enjoyable read (both words and musical notation). Even if you don't play the pipes, the history, lyrics, and artwork provide something for everyone. If you like sea shanties, this book is for you!
