Blackbeard (music)

Blackbeard is a musical theme composed by Hans Zimmer for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. It appeared as a track on the film's soundtrack.

Track description
The track consists of almost entirely new music, split into three parts. The first is an exposition of his new themes, followed by an action variation of the Queen Anne's Revenge. The second is a jolly skipping arpeggio on the bass instruments with hints of the opening of "On Stranger Tides" suite, followed tragic re-orchestration of Blackbeard's theme for his demise. The final section is another variation of the Queen Anne's Revenge theme before restating the end of "Underwater March".
