A delightful Celtic sounding tune in the key of E minor (Aeolian mode). “A Salty Sailor’s Song” has been written for Junior String Ensemble. It consists of three main lines, melody, harmony and bass, and a simple piano accompaniment. The melody is lovely for students of various standards to play and the harmony is very easy. A cello melody is included for individual extension. A backing track, playable on midi sequencer is available as a further teaching aid. A flexible arrangement of an appealing tune.
