This paper explores the use of historical documentation as a basis for the composition of two musical scores for an exhibition titled Cartography of a history: colonial São Paulo, maps and accounts, staged at Museu Paulista. The first one was written for a video shown in an exhibition hall dedicated to the topic America: the fourth part; the second score was played in another gallery, serving as a sound track for an exhibition of maps of Brazil's backcountry and accounts related to the exploration of the interior of the captaincy of São Paulo.
