When I was commissioned by Jean-Christophe Dobrzelewski, one of the members of Tromba Mundi, he said he wanted me to compose something slightly influenced by film music, specifically "pirates". 

I took it that he wanted something exciting, adventurous and full of bravado so I kept that in mind while writing it. It has exciting fanfares, grandiose melodies, and plenty of drama. That led me to title it "Swashbuckler," as a hommage to those classic adventure films with lots of heroic sword-fighting. It refers not only to the film genre, but also to the hero himself, who is resourceful and chivalrous and has been interpreted by the likes of Errol Flynn ("The Sea Hawk", "Robin Hood") and Douglas Fairbanks ("The Three Musketeers," "The Mask of Zorro"). 

This piece was premiered in Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall in October 2015 by Tromba Mundi.
