"Sounds of the Americas consists of four works written by some of the most
unique and widely-performed composers in the United States today. The works are
based on subject matters born in the Americas: Sierra describes a tropical night
in his native Puerto Rico, and Frank muses about the Inca Empires kings and
rituals. Kernis pays tribute to the TV Dance Shows of the 60s and 70s, while
Daugherty turns to rock and roll songs such as Jimi Hendrix's "The Wind Cries
Mary" to write an elegy for Cuba, past and present."
