Chantey/chanty
| Морской словарь |
A seaman’s working chant of calls and responses. from the french chantez = sing (pronounced shanty). in the days when navigation depended on massive squares of canvas manhandled by human musclepower, work was synchronized and made easier by these work-songs. sailors with fine singing voices found they could avoid some of the nastier shipboard tasks by volunteering as chanteymen, singing melodies which helped to soften the rigors of shipboard life. on one hand, listening to the songs was enjoyable and relieved boredom, especially when a fiddler accompanied the singer. on the other, the rhythm of calls and responses served to synchronize the movements of repetitive tasks. as early as 1493, a dominican friar named felix fabri reported hearing mariners on a venetian galley

Singing as they worked, writing, английский
“there is a concert between one who sings out orders and the laborers who sing in response.” this technique is similar to the cadence calls of military units, except that chanteys came in several categories. “short-haul” songs were used when the job would be over after a few quick pulls on a line. an example is “boney” (referring to emperor napoleon) where the crew would pull as they hollered each response:
