Recently, the Kronos Quartet began a commission process for composers under the age of 30, in the hope of bringing some of the talented young composers of our day to light.
Kronos specializes in new music and has a long history of commissioning new works. In fact, over 850 works have been created for the Kronos Quartet. They have worked with many minimalist composers including Steve Reich, Philip Glass, Terry Riley and Kevin Volans.
Kronos has collaborated with composers from diverse countries such as Franghiz Ali Zadeh from Azerbaijan and Osvaldo Golijov from Argentina. Golijov is a MacArthur Fellow who has done compositions and arrangements for Kronos CDs such as Caravan and Nuevo.
Kronos covers a very broad range of musical genres: Mexican folk, experimental, pre-classical early music, movie soundtracks (Requiem for a Dream), jazz and tango. Kronos has even recorded adaptations of Purple Haze, Flugufrelsarinn, Marquee Moon, and Dinner Music for a Pack of Hungry Cannibals.
Composers aside, Kronos has teamed up with artists from around the world, including the legendary Bollywood "playback singer" Asha Bhosle; the American soprano Dawn Upshaw; Mexican pop-rockers Cafe Tacuba; and the Romanian gypsy band Taraf de Haidouks.
Kronos has performed live with the likes of the late poet Allen Ginsberg, Modern Jazz Quartet, David Bowie, and Bjork, and has appeared on recordings with such diverse talents as singer-songwriters Dave Matthews, Nelly Furtado, Rokia Traore, Joan Armatrading, and Texas yodeler Don Walser.

Kronos Quartet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ya no mas corazón,
ya no llores mi niña,
ya no mas corazón...
Ya no llores mi niña,
ya no llores corazón,
no sufras por un sujeto que
voy a cantarte hasta que el
dolor olvides, esta prohibido
rendirse, respira profundo & sigue
El mundo no se acaba,
el tiempo no se detiene,
el Amor nace de nada por
eso no desesperes es poder
mirar el alma & también
tocar el cielo
Las brujas siempre son brujas
& los príncipes son ciegos
no voy a mentirte mañana
estarás mejor esto no dura
por siempre no es inmortal
el dolor, & tu, seca tus lagrimas
por que el no las merece
recuerda que el karma siempre
da lo que mereces
Entiendo que lo amabas que
con el eras feliz, yo te daré
mi palabra que haya afuera hay
mas de mil, & pase lo que pase
siempre me tendrás aquí
pero ahora que se fue tu
venganza es sonreír...
Ya no llores mi niña,
ya no mas corazón,
ya no llores mi niña,
ya no mas corazón...
Ya no llores mi vida que al
verte así me deshago
& te invito a sonreír
no te preocupes yo pago,
mañana saldrá el sol
& se ira este cielo gris,
puedo perdonarte todo
excepto que no seas feliz
Levanta tu carita & sonriele
al dolor & yo te aseguro mañana
estarás mejor, yo soy tu mejor
amigo & tu mi mejor amiga
sabes que estoy para ti
vine a endulzarte la vida
Ya hayaremos la salida
de este inmenso abismo
el nunca va a cambiar
aunque lo jure sera el mismo
el que te engaña, el que daña
& el que miente, siempre
sera el que no demuestra
lo que siente...
Cuando te abraza
se sonríe con si mismo
el no te engaño recuerda
se engaño a si mismo
& tu se feliz demuéstrale
que no dolió, de tu cuento
de princesa el es el que perdió...
El no merece tus lagrimas
yo te aseguro, mañana estarás
mejor un poquito mejor
& aunque tu cuento de princesa
merece un final mejor,
mañana vas a darte cuenta que
están claro amor...
