Often described reductively in voyaging accounts as having one function, in fact maritime performers served many communicative tasks. Their lives were not only complex, but often contradictory. Though not high-ranking officers, neither were they lower-ranking mariners or sailors. They were influenced by a range of competing cultural practices, having spent time playing on both land and sea, and their roles required them to mediate parties using music, dance, and theatre as powerful forms of nonverbal communication. Their performances transcended and breached boundaries of language, rank, race, religion, and nationality, thereby upsetting conventional practices, improving shipboard and international relations, and ensuring the success of their voyages. 410 0$aMaritime humanities, 1400-1800 ;$vVolume 5. 606 $aMilitary music$xHistory and criticism 606 $aOcean travel$xSocial aspects 606 $aMusicians$xTravel 606 $aSeafaring life 610 $amaritime performance, Francis Drake, East India Company, Northwest Passage, Shakespeare. 615 0$aMilitary music$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aOcean travel$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aMusicians$xTravel. 615 0$aSeafaring life. 676 $a781.599 700 $aSeth$b James$c(Professor),$01549296 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795738803321 996 $aMaritime musicians and performers on early modern English voyages$93807221 997 $aUNINA
