Alfred Music Vahid Matejkos Shanty Play-Alongs für Sopran-Blockflöte in C

Shanties are once again enjoying great popularity. Especially the reissue of "The Wellerman" by Nathan Evans has contributed to this. The sea shanties, which were used for work purposes as well as entertainment, radiate a special energy, conveying to listeners the deprived and yearning times at sea and providing a good insight into the work and life of seafarers.

With Shanty Play-Alongs, Vahid Matejkos, musician and producer, presents a music book with instrumental backing tracks for the soprano recorder in C. The recorder is not only a suitable entry-level instrument. It also enriches complex pieces of music with its characteristic sound and also fits perfectly to shanty songs. The pieces arranged here have a wide variety of echoes that make this edition a versatile work. Through elements of rock, Latin, funk, Big Band to orchestral and Caribbean influences, each song has its own unique appeal. The titles are each available as a full version as well as a half-playback, all recorded by professional musicians.
