From admiral to simple whaler - He cannot resist the [bliss] of being kissed. He will upset you, then forget you, he loves to give the girls a treat. And that's the way with ev'ry sailor: They're all free men from the seaman to the adm'ral of the fleet. A sailor's love is trong but doesn't last for long. How can a man be faithful when sailing to Hongkong, when sailing to Hongkong. He travels fast and far from here to Zanzibar, [And thousand] girls are sighing. We know what sailors are. We know what sailors are. [They're] girls from East and West tattooed upon his chest: It helps him to remember which one he loves the best. Refrain You girls who live on land be sure you understand: A sailor only loves, when that love is contraband, that love is contraband. A wife in ev'ry port - is his idea of sport. That makes his life a gay one because he knows it's short, because he knows it's short. And so when he appears, you can be sure, my dears, he'll show you paradise but you're bound to end in tears. Refrain
Joseph Holbrooke Vaughan Williams Ornstein Schoenberg Heymann Seaman Shakespeare Beethoven Barnett 1878 1920 1925 1958
Joseph Holbrooke (1878 – 1958) was an English composer, conductor, and pianist. Joseph Holbrooke belongs to the generation of composers at the core of the twentieth century British musical renaissance. He died in 1958, the same year as Vaughan Williams, and in almost total obscurity. His neglect began after the Great War and the gradient of descent increased dramatically from 1925 onwards. However he had a heyday and one with considerable celebrity. He wrote a considerable amount of light music and not once did he veer in the direction of atonalism although the four dances for solo piano may be taken as lampooning the trendiness of people like Ornstein and Schoenberg. Jazzy moments find their way into some of the music of the Twenties. For example he wrote music for the big society balls of the day and also went dancing with his wife Dorothy, better known as 'Dot'. Holbrooke has a strong handle on melody and perhaps his apprenticeship in the music halls accounts for the fact that he retained an unfeigned and unashamed admiration for real whistleable tunes. These found their way into his concert music which (with a few exceptions), contrary to popular myth, are not for monster-sized orchestras. Klaus Heymann's adventurous recording company Marco Polo have already recorded a number of his orchestral works but what we desperately need now are recordings of the symphony (No. 2) Apollo and the Seaman and the impressionistic tone poem Queen Mab (after Shakespeare). The three music-dramas are a natural for cinema or TV. In fact Holbrooke used film as part of the scenery in the premieres of all three works. The late works based on Poe short stories also appear to be worth exploring and are at the very least intriguing. These include the overture Amontillado, and the two 1930s tone poems The Pit and the Pendulum and The Maelstrom. All are in urgent need of exploratory performances. A full score of the overture and The Pit and The Pendulum exist; however the full score of The Maelstrom, which may also be entitled Descent Into the Maelstrom appears to be missing. At a less ambitious level we need recordings of his two titled piano sonatas of the 1930s/40s. There is so much which remains an unknown quantity with Holbrooke. His eight symphonies are each scored completely differently from the other seven. We can look at the later symphonies (5-8) and wonder particularly about the eighth symphony (Dance Symphony) which is scored for piano and orchestra. This work may well trace its origins back to the popular music he wrote during the 1920s but it could just as easily point towards new directions and experiments. Throughout his life Holbrooke was an experimenter but one who chose the language of romance in which to express himself. Like Beethoven, Holbrooke was afflicted with deafness. This set in relatively early from 1920 onwards. Visitors to the family home often had to contend with Holbrooke struggling with a massive old-fashioned hearing aid. Composition and re-composition continued. He revised earlier works and quarried discarded works for thematic material. There are also a few cases of the same work emerging under a different title. He occupied himself during the late 1930s and through into the 1940s with an autobiography.

Holbrooke Seaman Thomas Beecham 1907 1908 1912
In 1907 Holbrooke was approached by the poet Herbert Trench who suggested he might set his extended poem on immortality Apollo and the Seaman to music. The completed work, entitled "An Illuminated Symphony", was first performed at Queen's Hall on 20 January 1908, conducted by Thomas Beecham. It was a multimedia event. The orchestra and chorus were hidden from the audience behind an elaborate screen in a darkened hall whilst the text of the poem was projected onto the screen using lantern slides at corresponding points in the music. Only the final section of the poem (The Embarkation) is actually sung (by a male chorus), the rest of the score being a purely orchestral illustration of the verses. Allegedly the lantern slides in this first performance got out of sync with the music which led to some confusion. Interestingly the funeral march from Apollo was a favorite of Captain Robert Scott and was much played at memorials held for Scott after he perished on an ill-fated Antarctic expedition in 1912.
