The Sequim City Band invites the community to a free concert celebrating all things nautical and nice. Under the direction of Tyler Benedict, the band will perform pieces that invoke a rolling river, the tragedy of sinking ships at sea, comical pirates, dancing Russian sailors as well as majestic Navy vessels at 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 4, in the Sequim High School auditorium, 533 N. Sequim Ave.

As always, the concerts are free of charge but donations are accepted. Learn more about the Sequim City Band at www.sequimcityband.org.

Musical highlights are to include:

• David Holsinger’s piece “On a Hymnsong of Philip Bliss,” which incorporates the well-known hymn “It is Well with My Soul.” Bliss wrote the hymn based on a reflective composition written by Horatio Spafford, whose wife and four daughters were on a ship that sunk at sea; his wife was the only survivor among the family.

• “Sea Songs,” a march by British composer and folksong collector Ralph Vaughan Williams; included are the “Princess Royal,” “Admiral Benbow” and “Portsmouth.”

• Selections from “The Pirates of Penzance” by Arthur Sullivan, arranged by J.P. Sousa. The comic opera tells the story of a 21-year-old apprentice to a band of pirates.

• “Eternal Father, Strong to Save,” also known as “The Navy Hymn,” written by Claude T. Smith, an American composer, conductor and music educator

• John Philip Sousa’s “Who’s Who in Navy Blue,” composed at the request of the 1920 graduating class of the U.S. Naval Academy.

• Music from the motion picture “Titanic” by James Horner; this medley includes the uplifting “South Hampton,” the ominous iceberg theme “Hard to Starboard,” “Take Her to Sea Mr. Murdoch” and the famed “My Heart Will Go On.”

• “Russian Sailor’s Dance,” the most known dance from the pre-Russian revolution ballet, ”The Red Poppy.”

• “Shenandoah,” American composer Frank Ticheli’s popular piece based on the folk song of the same name that evokes the image of a rolling river.
