I've just got enough time to recommend to those who enjoy the Elgar 'Sea
Pictures', and anyone else who might happen to be interested, that Sir
Charles Villiers Stanford (1852-1924) produced two excellent sets of
orchestral songs: Songs of the Sea, op.91 and Songs of the Fleet, op.117.
These have been recorded by Benjamin Luxon with the Bournemouth Symphony
Chorus & Orchestra conducted by Norman Del Mar (that admirable
'know-it-all' in matters of Richard Strauss).

Sorry, I'm in a bit of a rush just now so: "It's Westward ho! to Trinidad,
and Eastward ho! to Spain, and Ship ahoy! a hundred times a day"
