First performance was given by A Coruña Municipal Wind Orchestra, conducted by José Luís Represas, at Palace of the Opera, A Coruña (Spain) on November 4, 2012. The heroes of Orzán is written for a large wind orchestra and a speaker who guides the entire composition by narrating the extra-musical events in the manner of a voice-over, almost like a police report. These extra-musical elements follow the tragedy that occurred on the beach of Orzán in January 2012, where the policemen José Antonio Villamor, Rodrigo Maseda, and Javier López became heroes when they tried to save the life of Slovak student Tomas Velicky. As mentioned above, all of these extra-musical elements are described by the speaker throughout the entire composition, overlapping them with the music as a single unity. The heroes of Orzán is divided into seven movements that follow one after the other in an uninterrupted manner. The movements are: 00:00 I. Prologue: voiceless voice. 04:45 II. Nightfall in Orzán. 08:00 III. Walking through the seashore. 11:27 IV. The accident. 12:56 V. Rescue! 18:40 VI. Tragedy. 23:30 VII. Epilogue: the heroes of Orzán.
