By Ceol. Composed by Traditional. Arranged by Thomas Degan. This edition: pdf, streaming. Celtic, Early Music, Folk, Historic, Irish, Traditional. Lead Sheet / Fake Book. 3 pages. Thomas Degan #1303515. Published by Thomas Degan (A0.1742645).This shanty tells the common story of being "pressed." Between 1664 and 1814, impressment was used to fill crews of British navy ships. Any man between 18 and 55 with sailing ability could be "pressed" into service by the Navy Impressment Service, known as 'The Press Gang.' The punishment for refusing was hanging.
This particular arrangement is for TTBB, guitar (or chording instrument), and fiddle (or soloing instrument). The melody is in the Tenor 2. The chords, harmony, and instrumental solo are loosely based on the recording by Ceol.
This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
