Last Voyage of the Currituck

2006 (15 minutes 40 seconds)

A symphonic odyssey in one movement depicting the final voyage of an iill-fated ship from Boston to the West Indies in the mid-nineteenth century. Full of color, energy and passion, it portrays the loading of the cargo, the voyage out to sea, a sailor’s chanty, a lovelorn song of a homesick sailor, and the Devil’s dance featuring a virtuosic violin solo as the crew and ship are lured to their doom in the Bermuda Triangle.
