About this arrangement

Coro SMsA SKU: CA.336580 Composed by Narciso Serradell. Arranged by Alberto Grau. Separate edition with choral collection. Secular choral music. Full score. 4 pages. Carus Verlag #CV 03.365/80. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.336580). ISBN 9790007244057. Language: Spanish. Text: Serradell, Narciso.It was composed in 1862 as a song of exile or farewell by a young Mexican soldier who was captured by the French army and taken prisoner. It became an iconic popular anthem for all Mexican exiles. The author's intention was to contrast the image of the Eagle as a symbol of might with that of a simple and docile bird, such as the swallow. This song, in the style of a serenade, has been interpreted in many versions by great popular and opera singers.
