Allegro baroque piece, for just a string orchestra. The full chamber orchestra version is slower and a little more authentic.

Pirate Girl Theme

I was inspired to write something slightly melancholic after reading about a group of musicians who held an impromptu concert in the ruins of their town after it was bombed in WWII. The piece opens with a solo violin in C minor and a simple piano backing, leading via contrapuntal brass to a long crescendo fugue in the wind instruments linking to the centre section in Eb major (a glimmer of hope and optimism for our fellow musicians as they seek to rebuild their lives in the ruins of the town). The coda sees a return to the opening solo violin in C minor (as harsh reality of their situation still remains).
