A cantata for SATB Chorus, Unison Children's Choir and Band
Alexander L'Esrrange
An uplifting celebration of King Henry VIII's famous warship, the Mary Rose, it cleverly fuses the music of Tudor times with an array of catchy sea shanties and also includes a sublime setting by L'Estrange of Shakespeare's "Full Fathom Five" (from The Tempest). Ahoy! takes us on a whirlwind journey across the oceans---and the centuries---in this glorious celebration of English maritime history. Approximately 45 minutes.
