About Hoist the Colours#
Hoist the Colours opens Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End from 2007, sung first by a lone boy on the gallows and then taken up as a pirates’ anthem. Hans Zimmer’s score carries it in the film. The lyric is a call for the scattered pirate lords to gather, and its slightly menacing, sea-shanty swing does a lot of the movie’s setup in one short song.
It is one of the more demanding tunes here for a 6-hole ocarina: the melody pushes up to a high D sharp, an accidental near the top of the instrument that takes a firm, controlled breath to hit cleanly.
