Written by the United Mexican States's first well-known female composer, this vals Mexicano (Mexican waltz) makes a charming a cappella work for mixed or treble choirs. The textured setting offers well-conceived choral parts throughout, sometimes using lower voices to provide a dance-like underscore for the lilting melody. A full translation and pronunciation notes assist in the understanding and mastery of an entirely Spanish text. Features an agile soprano on the optional solo descant near the end.
