A PIRATE’S TALE
Richard Linton
Duration: 2’10” Level: 2
Program Notes:
“Hoist the sails you scurvy dogs!” yells the captain. “Swab the deck you scallywags.”
Set in the romanticism of a pirate’s life, the bold melodies of A Pirate’s Tale capture the
essence of day-to-day life on the high seas – billowing sails, rolling seas, blasting canons,
pillaging and plundering the riches of others.
Straighten your eye patch, and with a parrot on your shoulder draw your cutlass as you
follow the adventure of A Pirate’s Tale.
Rehearsal Notes:
The melodies in this work need to reflect the boldness of a crew of hardened pirates and
thus played with a big round sound at all dynamics. Control of dynamics is important so
that the contrast between the ensemble melody and accompaniment parts maintain the
motion of this work. It is essential that tone is maintained throughout the increase in
dynamics from [50] to the end. Although the final bar is marked fortissimo it should be
played at a level where the ensemble is still able to maintain timbral control.
All tongued quavers should be separated.
Through [30-37] the outcome is that the pirate ship is sailing smoothly with minimal
effort from the crew and the approach to performing the melody needs to reflect this.
For more advanced crew members, a more challenging snare part is supplied.
“Aharrr, ma hearties!”
