'Capturing the Blue Riband' musically celebrates the excitement and sense of occasion experienced when traveling aboard the grand, early 20th century transatlantic liners, such as the Queen Mary and Lusitania. The Blue Riband was the coveted trophy bestowed on the vessel that clocked the fastest transatlantic time. The energetic opening and closing sections of this piece evoke the exhilaration of taking to the sea in this historic race of prestige, while a contrasting section conveys the sense of grandeur and honor central to the era and the award.
