There has been no official score release announcement yet, but I thoroughly enjoyed the film and score!
You can watch the film for free here, not sure if it will work outside of Canada:

PIRATE'S PASSAGE is an animated, made-for-television film based on William Gilkerson's critically acclaimed novel. Produced and co-written by Canadian screen icon Donald Sutherland along with co-writer, Brad Peyton, Sutherland also stars as the voice of the lead character, Captain Johnson.
Set in 1952 Grey Rocks, Nova Scotia -- a centuries old town that was famous 250 years ago as a favoured port of pirates -- PIRATE'S PASSAGE follows the story of 12-year-old Jim. Fraught by the death of his father and forced to endure schoolyard bullying each day, Jim manages to carry on, buoyed by his optimistic imagination and fueled by his sense of adventure. His widowed mother struggles to keep their livelihood, the Admiral Anson Inn, from being sold. It is an ongoing battle until the sudden arrival of Captain Johnson, whose small sailboat has been thrown off course by a storm, changes the family's life.
The Captain, under the distrustful eye of Meg, the inn's housekeeper, quickly inserts himself as a mentor and friend to Jim, helping him with his school essay on pirates and, while he's at it, giving him extraordinary lessons in self-reliance and determination. Soon, Jim turns the tables, developing a liberating self-assurance all his own that so deeply touches the Captain that he allows Jim to see evidence that the Captain may be more than meets the eye. Is Captain Johnson the same Charles Johnson who was a pirate there two hundred years ago? What does he mean when he talks about the "pirates" of today? The lad goes with him on a literal journey into the past to find out and emerges able to navigate the course of his life.
Details on the film here, an animated feature produced by Donald Sutherland, and a passion project.
