The island of Alcatraz, in the bay of San Francisco, is famous because of the strongly secured prison of the same name located there. The prison was used from 1934 to 1963, but the history of the island goes back to 1775. In this composition, the composer Fritz Neuböck takes you on a trip to the island so you can catch the atmosphere of "The Rock". A complete description can be found in the conductor score.
