This ancient song from the island of Unst, the most northerly of the Shetland islands, has been arranged to emphasize the proayer qualities - often called a boat prayer song - it offers a warning about the west wind, and a hope that the men and the boat will survive. Intermediate level - the tune is simple but the accompaniment is more complex. It changes key in the middle, and then back again, but two simple flips each way accomplishes that.

Three tunes associated with this 19th century "cradle song" are arranged in tandem with a short melody between them. The first setting is suitable for advanced beginners and the second for intermediate play, but you can happily stop after the first section, or continue to the end for a longer piece. Great for musical meditation, background music
