Program Notes:
The Queen Anne's Revenge was the final ship sailed by Edward Thatch, also known as the pirate Blackbeard. Recently, there have been some archaeological expeditions to find the remains of the sunken ship, all of which is reflected by this piece. To give the "pirate-like" feeling to the music, it has been composed in 6/8 time, as have many pieces about pirates. This great piece captures the spirit of pirates on the high seas.
