Malacandra, A Symphonic Tone Poem

This was my Masters Thesis project and a thorough joy to write. WTAMU's composition studio collaborates with the Amarillo Symphony and holds a contest every year. The winner of that contest has their piece performed by the Amarillo Symphony. This is the second performance of my Masters Thesis by the Amarillo Symphony Orchestra. April 22, 2023. I was on the program with Joyce Yang performing Rachmaninoff's 2nd Piano Concerto so the symphony's rehearsal time was spent mostly with her - understandably so but I am pleased with the outcome, nonetheless.
