This work tells the story of the famous sailor and explorer, Christopher Columbus. His voyage to discover a trade route with China while traveling West led to the discovering of The New World, the Americas. It is set in four contrasting sections: At the Dock, Setting Sail, A Lonely Life at Sea, and To New Discoveries---each with its own character and color. The stately fanfare opening moves into a spirited section with a great melody and syncopated support rhythms. A Lonely Life at Sea is reflective with melody in the horn and later in the trumpets. The piece concludes with a recap of the upbeat spirited melody before arriving at an energetic conclusion.
