About the Arranger: Chris M. Bernotas

His music reaches performers at every level, from beginners discovering their voice to advanced ensembles seeking engaging, thoughtfully crafted material.

Why we love this

Bernotas captures what makes this score work at the concert band level without losing the swagger and energy of the film. The choice to feature "The Medallion Calls" alongside "He's a Pirate" gives students two distinct musical personalities to explore, and anchoring the arrangement around 12/8 time creates a genuine learning moment rather than a technical hurdle.

What to expect

Swashbuckling adventure with moments of mysterious intrigue. The arrangement shifts between brooding, atmospheric passages and driving, adventurous themes that invite your students into a world of high seas and treasure hunts. The energy is contagious but never frantic.

Who it's for

Middle and high school concert bands seeking a Grade 2.5 arrangement that feels current and energetic. This works especially well for ensembles that want to program something familiar enough to excite their audiences while still offering real musical substance.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lock the rhythmic feel in 12/8 early by having your winds and percussion subdivide consistently in sectionals before combining the full band; this meter sits differently than the march-time your students may be used to
  • Let the brass lines under "The Medallion Calls" breathe with space; this is where the mystery lives, and rushing or overblowing will flatten the mood
  • Balance the piccolo and upper woodwinds when the pirate theme enters; they should sparkle without drowning the harmonic foundation below them

How to use it

Pair this with lighter classical selections for a concert that showcases range, or feature it as the closer to send audiences out on an exhilarating note. The film connection also makes it valuable for movie-themed concerts or spring pops programs where you want substance beyond novelty.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading and performing in 12/8 time
  • Balancing texture between melodic interest and harmonic support
  • Sustaining intensity in thematic material through rhythmic clarity
  • Responding to tempo and dynamic contrast as storytelling tools
