I find it quite good of these folks to front up and give it their best. to step out of their everyday lives and do this. you see, it's not in the quality but rather it's in the "try". in spite of all the outcries of "surgical removal", "rather soulless", "killed", "Falala", "1 soprano", or what-have-you, these guys and gals just went ahead in the face of everything and did it. Hear, hear, Sean2Ireland, and I agree: "good job".

HEEEEVE not going to lie, the vowels are horribly bright. its like paint peeling bright. and I hear ONE first soprano. also why is this being directed so fast? the accompanist can't even keep up because they're going so fast.

This song was never meant for this sort of treatment. The choir is spectacularly good but sea shanties don't work here. They are not arranged choral numbers. True the drunk guys aren't any good either but a good group of shantymen is the best.

I like this version, it's different than having five drunken semi-Irishmen singing it, but completely pleasurable ... good job, very easy to listen to

Im curious what ppl would say the "point" of this kind of arrangement is. Im not being negative, merely inquisitive. I do like any creative new music (trained to be a composer myself), and think Charles Ives kind of stuff works when it uses trad. material. But this really relates nothing to the essence of the chantey-- so what is the point of doing this name-borrowing VERSUS just making up ones own melody/lyrics? Would audiences get the reference, to add some sense of nostalgia, or...?

I respect the technical aspects of this arrangement, but I believe it renders the song rather soulless, and not particularly interesting to listen to, even if the choir sings prettily.
