Tinguiririca (Original Composition)

An orchestral piece I composed myself being performed by the DSO Civic Youth Ensembles Philharmonic Orchestra.

I usually tend to name pieces after I write them, and this made me picture a giant, looming mountain for some reason. So in my search for cool mountain names I remembered the book "Alive" which we read in high school English class senior year (2009-2010). The book, which is a true story, is about a rugby team and a few other passengers whose plane crash landed in the Andes mountains. Tinguiririca (don't ask me how to pronounce it--it's Spanish) was a volcano near their crash site. Half of the reason I picked it is because the middle section of my piece sounds very much like a violent volcanic eruption. The other half is because it has three dots in a row above the i's!

This is a run-through of the piece after having rehearsed it for only about 20-25 minutes.

Sounds like a nice piece. Good job, Andrew. One question though: why is "penguins" one of the tags?
