The text and voicing of Salty Dog
is particularly suited for all-boys groups. A "salty dog" is the seaman's "slanguage"
for a "crusty ole sailor." In the two-part voicing, Part I (written in the
treble clef) is limited to the comfortable singing area of A-A (above and below
middle C) which makes it appropriate for Boy Trebles and/or Cambiatas
(boys in the first phase of change). Part two is written in the bass clef and
is limited to the comfortable singing area of changing voice Baritones
(the second phase of change) of D-D (above and below middle C). In the
three-part voicing, Part I is for Cambiata; Part II for Adolescent
Baritone I;
and Part III for Adolescent Baritone II
Again, all-boys choirs are
not the only voicings for which it is suitable. Check the
two-part
or the three-part variable
voicing charts to see the other voicings with which it may be used.
