Description

Bound for South Australia is a sea shanty, also known under such titles as Rolling King and South Australia. As an original worksong it was sung in a variety of trades, including being used by the wool and later the wheat traders who worked the clipper ships between Australian ports and London. In adapted form, it is now such a very popular song among folk music performers that it has been recorded by many artists and is included in many of today’s song books.
Alex created this arrangement for the Spirit Bells of Concordia University Irvine’s 2015 tour of Australia. It is scored for 3-5 octaves handbells and optional percussion.
