Program Notes
Sic Parvis Magna is an exciting piece of music that conveys the message "greatness from small beginnings".
Sic Parvis Magna (Thus, from small beginnings, great things come) is the motto of the explorer and sea captain Sir Francis Drake. Although his life is not undisputed, his development from 13-year-old deck cleaner to vice admiral of the English fleet is an inspiration. Drake sailed around the world three times, the first time as a 23-year-old pirate with his cousin John Hawkins.
The heroic Maestoso sections portray the high spirits of a journey over sea. Although there is always the outlook of danger, and memories of home and loved ones.
