[「ABU関係資料 1976 アジア放送音楽祭(雑資料番号00279)」内の曲目解説「The Sea Folk」pp.1,13-5と台本「The Sea Folk」pp.8-10に以下の記載あり:「Track 9. David Lowston (Castaway Sealing Song)」「TRACK 9 DAVID LOWSTON DUR: 3'07""[下線付]」「One of the worst fates to beset the sealer was that of being castaway on a lonely southern island. If there were many seals to be taken a ship might sail away leaving a party to continue their work, and return later. Sometimes the ships foundered in gales and never returned. Sometimes a sealing ship standing off-shore might be caught in a storm and driven on to the rocks. Any number of hazards were in store for the men put ashore on the lonely islands above Antarctica. In 1809 one such party of sealers were stranded on a small island off the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand. With a young midshipman David Lowston they languished for four years until taken back to Sydney by a passing ship The ""Governor Bligh"".」「""My name is David Lowston I did seal, I did seal,/ My name is David Lowston I did seal,/ Though my men and I were lost,/ Though our very lives it cost,/ We did seal/ We did seal/ We did seal.」「(Cont'd...」「We were set down in open bay/ Were set down, were set down/ Set down in open bay, were set down,/ We were left we gallant men/ Never more to sail again/ For to sail/ For to sail/ For to sail.// Our Captain John Bader, he/ He set sail, he set sail/ Yes for Port Jackson he set sail,/ I'll return men without fail,/ But she foundered in a gale,/ And went down/ And went down/ All did drown.// We cured ten thousand skins/ For the fur, for the fur,/ Cured ten thousand skins for the fur,/ Brackish water, putrid seal,/ We did all of us fall ill,/ For to die,/ For to die,/ Some did die.」「(Cont'd.....」「Come all you lads who sail upon the sea, on the sea,/ Come all you Jacks who sail upon the sea,/ Though the good ship ""Governor Bligh"" took on those/ that did not die,/ Never seal,/ Never seal/ Nerver seal.""」、台本に「ANNOUNCER[下線付]:」「Sealing was a grim work for rough men a long way from home. There were many hazards: storms, treacherous coasts, tough physical work and the ever present risk of fatal accident. One of the most feared of these was that of being castaway. So many ships were lost that many sealers and whalers found themselves abandoned on lonely islands for years on end. Some were never found, and some tried to sail their way back to civilisation and were never seen again. One legendary castaway tale was the story of David Lowston. His ship, a sealer, called ""The Active"", went down in a gale, and he, with a small band of men struggled to a lonely island of the West Coast. The captain tried to sail for New Zealand but his ship also foundered in a gale. The remaining men languished for three years living on rotten seal meat until a ship sighted their bonfires and rescued them. For young David Lowston the experience was to mark him for life.」「CONTROL: PLAY ""DAVID LOWSTON"" TK 9 DUR: 3'07""」「MUSIC DETAILS[下線付]」「EUROPEAN MUSIC[下線付]」「Title[下線付]」「David Lowston」「Composer[下線付]」「Trad.」「DURATION[下線付]」「3'09""」と記載(曲目解説p.1に「白人[赤字]」の書き込みあり)] 。[キーワード]:New Zealandニュージーランド、合唱(男声)、gutiarギター(lutes ビワ類1ビワ)、banjoバンジョー(spike lutes ビワ類3シャミセン)、合奏
