Program Notes
Ahoy matey! Answer the call of the open seas and set sail with this rollicking and imaginative nautical adventure. Playable by young bands, it sets out with a robust chantey-like melody as the winds fill the sails and your ship cuts through the waves. A Spanish-sounding dance signals a break in the action, a brief rest before the breeze kicks up and the adventure resumes.
- Program Note from publisher
This imaginative work is scored in three sections. The quick opening section features a free-flowing ostinato woodwind figure based on Percy Aldridge Grainger's Irish Tune from County Derry. This opening passage prepares the primary thematic material, which is first played by clarinets. The slower middle section is a Spanish-sounding dance that highlights a flute solo. The closing section is a truncated recapitulation of the opening melodic material.
