In writing Piccs on the Peaks, Carmen Marulanda begins with a playful allegro section which is quite cheerful and catchy. The piece then transitions to a cumbia which utilizes the smoky low register of the flute to match the unique sound of the treble flute for a contrasting middle section. Trills and percussive articulations add to this communicative section which envisions a gathering of people. Piccs on the Peaks then returns to the opening motif to end with a happy, upbeat finish.
