The Flying Dutchman

[Fredrik]

THE FLYING DUTCHMAN


After the sea battle, the French Bucchaneer L'Ollonais gives order to throw all corpses into the sea. The night is approaching. The Bucchaneers are tired.
But something is seen in the distance of the black night. It's a huge phantom vessel, and it is sailing with incredible speed towards them.
The Flying Dutchman is here. Captain Van Derdekken and his crew of ghost sailors are taking total control. They sneak down to the lower deck where all the slaves are kept. Terror spreads quickly. Women are dragged away onboard the Dutch phantom galleon. They dissappear in the fog. Nobody knows where they came from or where they are going.

Fred, I like the theme that you have written for this. It sounds great with the orchestra and again with the chorus. You have really given the bass players something to do with this piece!
I hope no one was hurt in the making of this. Good work! It's always a treat when I see that you've posted a new piece. John

Hi John,

The low Hull Creak sounds of the Dutch Galleon ship inspired me to write for the double basses, which are also accompanied by a low nice GPO tuba after a while

Being in the middle of reading about the myths of the Caribbean pirates, I stumbled on the old legend of "The Flying Dutchman". This is of course not the first time I read about it. The first time was when I heard Richard Wagner's opera.

Thanks for lending an ear!

A satisfying nautical voyage, Fredrik; and with John,
I took particular note of the double basses in places.
This is almost a new genre if taken alone (rather
than perhaps as cinematic backdrop) -- with the use
of narrative-implying effects, spoken voice, and so on.
The break-away into a rock idiom at the tail was
quite unexpected... but it works!

Interesting piece!

My best,



David

You're creating exciting tales using the sound effects and your spot on music.

Yes, take all the women. For a good woman is worth her weight in gold. Hardy har, har.

I enjoyed the story Fred.

Hi David,

I agree! I think I have found the musical recipe that works best for me, lol!

This way I can also save time and cost, entertaining without having to pay actors, stuntmen, producers, directors and extras!

Thanks for another brilliant review!

Hi Phil,

In the next chapter our pirates are setting sails for the Isle of Pines, where Francis Drake once buried his gold in 1596, in the south west end of Cuba.

Now, 70 years later, Captain L'Ollonais is on his way to find Drake's heavy chest!

Share some bottles of rum with the captain's crew, on their way to find the treasure.
