Program Notes:

The Royal Fortune was the name Bartholomew Roberts, otherwise know as Black Bart, gave to all the flagships of his fleet. He was considered to be the most successful plunderer of the Carribean. This spirited pirate tune is a sequel to the best selling The Last Voyage of the Queen Anne's Revenge.
