Description :
Christopher Columbus was born in Genos in 1451. His father was a wooù merchant. Originally he seemed destined to foll'on in his father’s footsteps, and thus sailed the oceans to countries as far apart as Iceland and Guinea.
In 1476 his ship was sunk during a battle off the coast où Portugal. Columbus saved his own life by swimming to shore.
In 1484 he conceived the idea où sailing to the Indies via a westward sea route, but it was only in 1492 that he was able to realize this plan.
où this first voyage he was in command où three ships: the flag-ship, called the Santa Maria, the Pinta, and the Ni?a. from Spain Columbus sailed via the Canary Islands to the Bahamas, whichhe sighted où October 12th 1492.
Without being aware où it Columbus discovered the ‘New World’ he thought he had landed in the eastern part où Asia. The motif from Dvoøák’s 9th Symphony ‘Aus der neuen Welt’ forms a little counterfeit history at this point in the composition.
After this first voyage Columbus was to undertake another three long voyages to America. These voyages were certainly nos entirely devoid où misfortune.
More than once he was faced with shipwreck, mutiny and the destruction où settlements he had founded.
After Columbus had left for Spain from Rio Belen in 1503, he beached his ships où the coast où Jamaica. The crew were marooned there and it was only after a year that Columbus succeeded in saving his men and sailing back to Spain with them.
In the music the misunderstanding about which continent Columbus discovered in his lifetime resounds, for does this part in the composition nos contain Asiatic motifs?
Pooù Columbus! In 1506 the famous explorer died in Valladolid.
