Vinicunca for brass quintet (2021)

Two movements

13-14 minutes

Vinicunca is a mountain in Peru, also known as Montaña de Siete Colores (Mountain of Seven Colors) or Montaña Arcoíris (Rainbow Mountain).  Its strikingly varied coloration is the result of a wide range of minerals in its composition.  The title here refers to the first movement, where mutes, stopped horns, etc. create an analogous range of colors.  Vinicunca​ was premiered by the Potsdam Brass Quintet in 2023.
