Legend of the Phantom Pirates  

Brian Balmages
Grade 3.5

This epic work conjures images of a ghostly pirate fleet wandering the high seas. The opening section paints an eerie picture of the forgotten crew, interspersed with brief "shrieks" as the phantoms burst in and out of view. The music becomes much more aggressive as listeners experience the adventures of life at sea. Ultimately, the pirates' fates are sealed, and they accept the fact that they are destined to haunt the seas for eternity. Powerful!
