Fantasia on British Sea Songs or Fantasy on British Sea Songs is a medley of British sea songs arranged by Sir Henry Wood in 1905 to mark the centenary of the Battle of Trafalgar. For many years it was seen as an indispensable item at the BBC's Last Night of the Proms concert. ==Contents== The ''Fantasia on British Sea Songs'' was first performed by Henry Wood and the Queen's Hall Orchestra at a Promenade Concert on 21 October 1905.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/events/e4f8q9 )〕 It comprises nine parts which follow the course of the Battle of Trafalgar from the point of view of a British sailor, starting with the call to arms, progressing through the death of a comrade, thoughts of home, and ending with a victorious return and the assertion that Britain will continue to 'rule the waves': # Bugle Calls # The Anchor's Weighed # The Saucy Arethusa # Tom Bowling # Jack's The Lad (Hornpipe) # Farewell and Adieu, Ye Spanish Ladies # Home, Sweet Home # See, the Conqu'ring Hero Comes # Rule, Britannia!〔〔 The opening series of six naval bugle calls and their responses are taken from the calls traditionally used to convey orders on a naval warship. The first call is ''Admiral's salute'', followed by ''Action'', ''General Assembly'', ''Landing Party'', ''Prepare to Ram'' and finally ''Quick, Double, Extend and Close''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fantasia on British Sea Songs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
