Primera Cronica del Descubrimiento [First Chronicle of Discovery]

Sierra, R

'These two pieces are the first of a series of chronicles (cronica in Spanish) that I composed on the subject of the meeting between the aboriginal Indian culture of the Caribbean islands and the Spanish Conquistadores. The image of surprise and bewilderment from both sides (there was less information available in the 1490s than we have at hand today) is a particularly fascinating thought for me. What did the 'Indians' think about the conquistadors, and vice versa? In these two pieces Leyenda Taina (Taino Legend - being the name of the tribe that inhabited the Island of Puerto Rico) and Danza, I put in musical thought my own interpretation of some of the things that might have occurred 500 years ago.'

- Roberto Sierra
