Revised from a piece written for the Island of Bermuda's 375th anniversary and premiered in Hamilton, Bermuda, in 1982, this piece 'tells' the tale of Sir George Somers' sail (beginning with 'water sounds) and eventual discovery of and march across the Island of Bermuda; 'bells' in the trumpets signal rejoicing at the group's salvation from the sea.
