Bereik en inhoud
Copy of recording of a commercial performance of a sea song sung by male voice with piano accompaniment, likely to be one of those sung by members of Scott's Antarctic Expedition. There are also recordings of Raymond Priestley singing Antarctic songs, unaccompanied, made the year before he died. He can be heard singing three songs. One appears to tell the story of Scott's expedition. Another describes a blizzard and other Antarctic weather conditions. The third song is an adaptation of the 1908 popular song 'I Hear You Calling Me' which was devised by members of the 'Northern Party' Recording time: 10.21 minutes
