Galleons and Cutlasses
for brass quintet (2013)
I have always been a huge fan of pirates. Some of my favorite films are the old Errol Flynn swashbucklers Captain Blood, The Sea Hawk and the lesser known version of Treasure Island starring Charleton Heston and Christian Bale. For a while now I have been waiting for a good opportunity to channel some of this pirate love into a composition and thanks to the generous support of the Galleons and Cutlasses Consortium*, I have finally been able to do so. With 2 contrasting movements, Phantom Ship and Tempting Davy's Grip, this is my ode to pirates.
Bb and C trumpet parts included
