With fertile soil and fresh water Pitcairn proved to be the perfect hiding place and the community flourished. Clothing and food were prepared largely in the traditional Polynesian way with the Englishmen providing a means of making alcohol which probably helped lead to their demise. This piece was composed around language samples from a 1956 recording made on Norfolk Island with log drums adding the Polynesian flavour. The horn melody is derived from a traditional Irish jig called “The Three Sea Captains”. Matt McMahon’s solo acoustic piano improvisations brings the chapter to a close.
