Richard Runciman Terry – The Shanty Book Part 1
Richard Runciman Terry – The Shanty Book Part 1 is one of the most recognized shanties collections ever. The first part of this fantastic collection was published in 1921 and built using an author’s great experience. It contains thirty shanties along with sheet music for voice and pianoforte. The introduction and descriptions of shanties contain a huge amount of useful knowledge. This book is one of the many published during the so-called “Grand Hall shanty revival”. The descriptions contain a lot of important information, e.g. names of the seaman from whom the individual songs were obtained. This is a ‘must-have’ for every shanties enthusiast.
