Description
| This highly programmatic work follows a group of pirates as they prepare to raid on the open seas, engage in a battle to plunder a British ship of its treasure, and retire to the safe haven of Tortuga. The three movements include Raising the Jolly Roger, False Colors (Sinking a British Galleon), and Celebrating in Tortuga. The audience will hear the peg-leg of the captain as the music explores traditional melodies including God Save the Queen and What Would You Do with a Drunken Sailor? Fabulous writing filled with energy and excitement! |
