Summary:
"Путь конкистадоров" (The Path of the Conquistadors) suggests a cinematic, historical/epic piece with strong Spanish/Latin coloration mixed with a New World/tribal flavor. E Phrygian gives the characteristic Spanish/flamenco color (flat 2 against a minor-ish tonic) and supports both modal flamenco touches and darker, exotic harmonies. A tempo around 95–105 BPM (I suggest ~100 BPM) in steady 4/4 provides a march-like propulsion suitable for processional fanfares and travelling sequences.
Primary instrumentation centers on orchestral strings and brass for heroic statements and fanfares, nylon/flamenco guitar for rhythmic and idiomatic Spanish flavor (arpeggios, rasgueado), timpani and snare for martial drive plus Latin percussion for color, a male choir or choral pad for grandeur, and a native flute (pan/wood) to evoke the New World/indigenous element. Use an ABAC form: open with a strong theme (A), move into a development/journey section with rhythmic drive and contrasting textures (B), return to a variation of the main theme (A), then build to a climactic C section and coda.
Performance tips: emphasize flamenco rhythmic articulations on guitar, use brass fanfares and string ostinatos for momentum, sprinkle native-flute motifs to contrast the European elements, and deploy choir/timpani hits at climactic moments to heighten drama.
