Flor y Canto Segunda Edición Words Only

"Flor y Canto, Segunda Edición, is the most complete Spanish-language hymnal to date in the United States. ... Some of the songs from the post-Vatican II era reflect the re-emergence of Hispanic/Latino indigenous music . ... These are songs arising out of the peoples daily experiences and deep communion with God. ... An innovative combination of language appears in some songs, such as in no. 576, where Spanish and English phrases alternate throughout the entire song. This also reflects the reality of Hispanic/Latino culture. The collection of 18 CDs is a most valuable resource. ... It is a must for musicians and church leaders. Flor y Canto, Segunda Edición, is indeed a rich and comprehensive resource that will enhance worship in the Hispanic Church, as well as in the wider Christian community."
--Raquel Mora Martínez, The Hymn

"We were happy to have the opportunity to recommend Flor y Canto to our readers in the November/December issue of Rite magazine. Keep up the good work!"
--David Philippart, editor, Rite

"A comprehensive musical resource. . . . Musical accompaniment volumes have extensive glossaries that cover unique rhythmic patterns, musical terms, and symbols. The CD recording library is a welcome supplement to the other resources, since it offers an authentic demonstration of Latin sounds. The total collection is a worthwhile investment for the present and the future."
--Pastoral Music

The name "Flor y Canto" (Flower and Song) has its roots in the Aztec culture. The indigenous peoples of Mexico believed that only through "flower and song," or the "flower of the song," could they understand and express the truth. The "flower of the song" was the fruit of an inner encounter with the Divine.
