Subject: RE: song of the seals -- discussion(add lyr)
On my old LP of the 1963 Newport Folk Festival, this song is described thus.
"The Song of the Seals" is an "art-song" setting of a Hebridean chant, which the story goes, has been used to charm seals.
On the recording there is also an unwelcome addition, in the form of a passing aeroplane. Fine song nonetheless.
