Experience the high seas with this programmatic work for full orchestra complete with mystery, adventure, sword battles and buried treasure. A multitude of effects add to the drama and intensity, including the unique sound of glissando cello harmonics simulating the sound of seagulls on a desert island. This arrangement includes optional parts for your concert band members as well (not playable by concert band alone) to give you added performance flexibility and possibly combine your two groups.

Feature a guest artist or star student in this piece that includes an advanced level violin solo along with a more approachable solo for the younger, yet ambitious student. Well within the technical grasp of young orchestras, the music is designed to allow the soloist to display both technique and lyricism as the piece moves through a series of "diversions" held together by a common theme. Inspiring for your students and your audience! (4:30)
