Admiral of the Seven Seas is a large scale symphonic poem that combines Chinese orchestral music, dance, narration, choir, solo voice and theatrics. This piece commemorates the courageous spirit of Ming Dynasty explorer, Cheng Ho, in his seven voyages to places such as West Asia and East Africa over the span of 28 years. The entire work consists of six movements: Burial, Spirits, Voyage, Destiny, Danger and Vow.

The Voyage is made up of five sections: Celebration, Embarkation, Sea Route, Thunderstorms and Anchoring.

《海上第一人——郑和》为作曲家罗伟伦先生所作，是一部结合了华乐、舞蹈、朗诵、合唱、独唱、戏剧等元素的大型交响史诗。此作品纪念中国明朝航海家郑和带领船队在28年间七下西洋的英勇精神，并且记录途中的所见所闻及所面对的重重海难。整部作品共由六个乐章组成，分别为《海葬》、《海魂》、《海路》、《海缘》、《海险》和《海誓》。本场音乐会将呈献第三乐章——《海路》。

《海路》共分成五个段落：「庆典」、「启航」、「海路」、「暴风云」和「下锚」。
