Program Notes:

Legend has it that Smugglers’ Cove has a secret sea cave that is only visible when there is a very low tide. The story goes that deep inside the cave is a treasure chest full of gold doubloons hidden by smugglers centuries ago. In a cinematic, swashbuckling style, the music relives this adventure of the high seas aboard a buccaneer ship as it sails into Smugglers’ Cove to hide the ill-gained booty.
