Description
The United States Navy Sea Chanters performing "Blow the Man Down", an English sea shanty, with the United States Navy Band. From an outdoor evening concert at the U.S. Navy Memorial on August 20, 2013. A sea shanty is a type of work song that was once commonly sung to accompany labor on board large merchant sailing vessels.
The Navy Band Sea Chanters is the United States Navy’s official chorus. The ensemble performs a variety of music ranging from traditional choral music, including sea chanteys and patriotic fare, to opera, Broadway, and contemporary music.
