The music is lively and upbeat, with a catchy melody that captures the excitement of the port. The second song in the collection is called 'Trade Winds'.

The music is slow and contemplative, with a haunting melody that captures the mystery and power of the winds. The third and final song in the collection is called 'Three Fishers'.
