In their forty-four year history, the Sea Chanters have evolved from an all-male chorus specializing in the old songs of the sea to a top-notch professional mixed chorus with a seemingly unlimited repertoire. Sea Chanters on Tour is but a sample of the variety of styles that the Sea Chanters perform regularly throughout the nation. The album contains everything from beautiful sacred and secular choral works to popular songs by Hoagy Carmichael or the Beatles. The selections are as diverse as America herself. In addition, the Sea Chanters also included a collection of Sea Chanteys, or sea songs, on the album. Each member of the Sea Chanters is a fine soloist as well as consummate team player dedicated to producing outstanding choral balance and blend, making this album a direct display of the talent and professionalism of the United States Navy Band. Directed by Commander Ralph M. Gambone, Sea Chanters on Tour is an eclectic, delightful album.
