''Poema del Iguazú'', op. 115, is an orchestral composition by the Argentine composer Alberto Williams. ==History== ''Poema del Iguazú'' was written in 1943, and is the last of three orchestral "poems" by Williams. Its earlier companions are ''Poema de las campanas'', op. 60 (Poem of the Bells, 1913), and ''Poema de los mares australes'', op. 88 (Poem of the Southern Seas, 1925). The first was originally composed for the piano in 1912, and was later joined by a series of eight more cycles of piano ''poemas'', written between 1920 and 1933. After this time, Williams turned his attention mainly to the orchestra, composing in addition to the third symphonic poem six of his nine symphonies and two sets of orchestral milongas, opp. 107 and 117 (Salgado 2001). Up until 1910, Williams's nationalism had been focused on the pampas and the ''gauchesco'' literature of the 19th century, epitomised by José Hernández's epic poem ''Martin Fierro'' (1872/79). In his later works he expanded his geographical attention to encompass all parts of the country (Schwartz-Kates 2007, 973). The piano ''poemas'' systematically cover the length and breadth of Argentine geography, from the Tierra del Fuego and Antarctica in the south—in the ''Poema fueguino'', op. 86, and ''Poema antártico'', op. 87, both composed in 1925—to the tropical north in the last two ''poemas'': the ''Poema de la selva primaveral'', op. 93 (Poem of the vernal rainforest, 1933) for piano, and the orchestral ''Poema del Iguazú'' (Chase 1957, 442; Slonimsky 1945, 103). The northernmost border between Argentina and Brazil is marked partly by the Iguazu River, which drops over the edge of a plateau to form the spectacular Iguazu Falls shortly before reaching the Paraná River. These falls are the subject of Williams’s orchestral work.
