Spirited dance figures, catchy melodies in canon, and a majestic chorale will make you want to say, Shiver me timbers! This clever composition by Matt Turner plays to the students love of pirates and sea shanties. This is a great piece to solidify student's understanding of compound meter.Perform this piece with exuberance! The first part of this piece is composed of various dance figures—sometimes in canon—and dynamics should be strictly followed to ensure that the melody can be heard . The descant (violin I) in mm . 25–36 should be played quietly so that the melody in the second violin and viola parts can be heard . Use much of the bow—think lush and full—in the chorale section beginning in m . 93 . Articulations throughout are particularly important to create a dance-like feel . Enjoy as you set sail on your voyage!
