Ten Thousand Miles Away

  • "Ten Thousand Miles Away" is written in the Lydian mode.
  • With frequent use of the rhythmic elements "ti-tika" and "tika-ti" as well as dotted rhythms, this is a very energetic sea shanty.
  • To reinforce the beat, you could have students perform with actions like "scrubbing the deck", "climbing the rigging" and "hauling the anchor" or even "walking the plank"!
