La Monja Blanca (For SATB a cappella choir and baritone solo) arr. David N. Childs

Text: Trad. Guatemalan Folksong

La monja blanca is called the ‘adorable white nun’, and is found in this land of the Quetzals (a strikingly colored bird of the trogon family that is common only to a small segment of Guatemala). It is the most beautiful and loveliest of flowers, which is also the national flower of Guatemala. La monja blanca is the queen of flowers, simply unsurpassed. My beautiful Guatemala: you have all my love. There is no greater land in the world than my home, Guatemala.

Nostalgically, but with forward momentum
