Shanties and Sea Songs for Intermediate Clarinet and Alto Saxophone is a book of 26 brilliant traditional melodies arranged as duets for clarinet and alto saxophone players of around Grades 3 – 6 standard with our own musical touches added to bring extra excitement, fun and variation.

Organised as a musical voyage, the book is in five sections: Anchors Aweigh! Ropes, Sails and Pumps; At Port; Mermaids, Pirates, Smugglers and Ghosts; and Returning Home. The lyrics of first verse and chorus are included, most pieces are two pages in length, some are one page; and the melodies are shared between the parts so both players get to play the tune!
