Its debut performance in September 2018 was received with immense enthusiasm by the audience. The piece has a programmatic and ternary structure that celebrates the swashbuckling naval adventures of a heroic captain who devoted his life to serving his queen and country. 

    The composition is structured into three parts and begins with the Spaniard shipwreck off the coast of Ireland. In a stroke of luck, he is rescued by a brave and beautiful Irish maiden, whom he later marries.
