Cuauhtémoc

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Antonio Mastrogiovanni's Cuauhtémoc. The work "Cuauhtémoc" is dedicated to this young Aztec king, who defended the city of Mexico against the Spanish conquerors commanded by Hernan Cortes. During the siege of this city, nine-tenths of the Aztec population was exterminated, and Cuauhtémoc himself was tortured and assassinated by Hernan Cortes. Three fragments of indigenous texts are used in the work: The first text is the one recited on the occasion of the birth of a Mexican child, and is mixed with the name Cuauhtemoc. The second text is a description of the Spanish army. The third text is a description of the city of Mexico after the cruel siege.
