 海上小屋

Paul King

传统的水手海歌的起源已经在时间的长河中消失了。 至少可以追溯到14世纪中期,海歌来自古老的商船 "高大 "的时代。

棚歌是一首简单的工作歌曲,它确保从事繁重体力劳动的水手,如绕着绞盘踩踏或升帆出发,同步进行个人努力,有效地执行他们的集体任务,即简单地确保每个水手在同一时间推或拉,。

实现这一目标的关键是有节奏地演唱每一首歌曲,或称棚歌。

更多的时候,会有一个独唱歌手,一个棚户区的人,带领大家唱歌,船员们加入合唱。

虽然这些歌曲的实际演唱可以追溯到几百年前,但 "shanty "这个词的起源却比较新。 通过字典可以追溯到1869年左右,shanty的拼写有很多变化,包括chantey和chanty。 关于shanty这个词的实际来源也有一些争论,有些人引用了法语单词 "chanter","以唱歌',还有人提议使用英文 "chant",与那些宗教的格雷戈里式圣歌同义。

不过,从这些水手工作歌曲的细枝末节来看,确实有两种主要的棚歌变体,被称为Capstan棚歌和Pulling棚歌。

与那些士兵男孩的行军歌曲类似,《绞盘山歌》是为配合有规律的节奏性工作而唱的,例如为提升沉重的铁锚而绕着绞盘踩踏。 除了吸引水手的注意力--当然还有逗乐--之外,没有其他特殊要求,几乎任何民谣都可以被用于这一目的,只要它是在要求的节奏,最好有一些 "肮脏的 "暗示...... "告别和告别你,西班牙的女士们 "也许是一个著名的例子。

在这种工作中,除了要保持水手们的注意力外,还必须确保所有水手在同一时间拉动,中间要有足够的空隙来重新抓紧。通常这种 "呼唤和回应 "的棚歌是由一个单独的棚歌手唱诗,水手们加入合唱。 以棚歌《波尼》为例;

尚蒂曼:波尼是个勇士、

摄制组:路,嘿,亚!

尚蒂曼:一个战士和一个桔梗、

船员:让-弗朗索瓦

在对棚户区居民的回应中,船员们会在每句话的最后一个音节上准确地拉到一起。

但毫无疑问,棚户区的主要吸引力是为水手们在漫长的海上航行中每天遇到的艰苦体力劳动带来幽默感和乐趣。 据说,在船上有一个好的棚户区居民就等于有几个额外的人手,因此,这种宝贵的资产往往享有特殊的特权,如较轻的任务,以及/和。或者也许多加一壶朗姆酒。

然而,那些新式蒸汽船的到来结束了高大船只的时代,也结束了对原始人力的需求。 因此,到了20世纪之交,海上棚歌的声音很少听到,几乎被遗忘,但由于包括塞西尔-詹姆斯-夏普(1859-1924)在内的几位名人的努力,我们已经留下了200多首这些水手的工作歌曲。

夏普走遍了全国各地的沿海贸易城镇和渔村,采访了退休的老水手,并记下了那些传统工作歌曲的歌词和音乐,形成了一些文集,包括1914年首次出版的《英国民间歌谣:带钢琴伴奏、介绍和注释》。

近来,这些歌曲每年夏天都会由棚户区居民小组在全国各地的航海港口(和酒馆)表演,以保护并与他人分享我们海洋遗产的这一重要部分。
