Sailor songs and shanties were conceived both for work purposes and entertainment and radiate a special energy. To listeners, they authentically convey the deprived and yearning times at sea, while driving sailors in their work and making it varied. Especially in the accompaniment of the accordion they get their special character, which directly reminds of the work and life on the high seas.
With Seemannslieder the music publisher Preissler presents a collection of well-known pieces for accordion, which have accompanied numerous sailors and captains since time immemorial. At the same time, the songs are arranged in an easy to moderately difficult way, making them especially suitable for advanced beginners and musicians with advanced knowledge.
