Composed by Daniel Cueto. 21st Century,Contemporary Classical,World,Native American. Score. 9 pages. Published by Daniel Cueto (S0.11500).Listen on Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/dcueto/iskay-harawichaAt the heart of this piece are two anonymous lyrics in kechwa, the most widely spoken non-European language in the Americas.An ancient tongue, it became the official language of the great Inca Empire, and is still spoken by about 10 million people inpresent-day Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia and Argentina. Having been an important symbol of status and high culture before theEuropean Conquest, it developed a refined literature which has continued to live and develop orally throughout the centuries.The specific texts I have chosen for this work reflect this sophistication of sonority and meaning. They are anonymous lyricsfrom the Apurimac region in central Peru, gathered by Jose Maria Arguedas in his book 'Canto Kechwa'. Comparing thesetexts to alternative versions by other native speakers, and relying on my own basic knowledge of the language, I have mademy own renditions of them for the purpose of this work.'Iskay harawicha', the work´s title, can be translated as 'A pair of songs'.
