Whitecap Bay (music)

Whitecap Bay is a musical theme composed by Hans Zimmer for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. It appears as a track in the flim's complete sountrack.

Track Description


The track begins with the first three notes of the "On Stranger Tides" theme, followed by a variation on the other phrases presented in the track supported by male choir. The piece then moves into the meandering bassline heard in the first half of "I've Got My Eye On You", underscored by Blackbeard's diminished two chord progression (heard at the start of "Blackbeard") on the chimes used to represent him. There is a statement of Angelica's theme, again underlayed by the Blackbeard progression.

The track plays as Blackbeard and the crew of the Queen Anne's Revenge are preparing to catch a mermaid.
