Programme Note

This movement establishes the experience of both the explorers and the native people who lived in the territory.

According to Kapilow, "Lives were both ended and expanded; it (the era) was simultaneously wonderful and terrible."

Musically, it is an imaginative marriage of poetry and melody into a remarkable musical creation.

Recorded by the Young People's Chorus of New York, Francisco Nuñez, Conductor.
