Quartet Album Bk 1 (Peters)

Skip Henderson/ arr. Larry Moore

Based on the traditional tune Fisher's Hornpipe and heard in the blockbuster film Pirates of the Caribean: Dead Man's Chest

The Wild West and contemporary US composers inspired this piece. It has an idiomatic cowboy feel, with lively lines and a pleasing middle section. The outer sections have a dynamic ensemble energy, and there are opportunities for bowing techniques and position work.
