Linguistically flexible, this song may be sung all in English, all in Spanish, or bilingually. Helpful usage notes give performance suggestions. The refrain is catchy and singable and is supported by SATB choir. The verses, also catchy, are more simply set with a two-part harmonic texture. Parts for violin I & II and trumpet I and II in B-flat can help lend an almost mariachi feel to the song. Note: this song was commissioned in 2012 for the 25th Anniversary of the Diocese of Lexington. In this newly published version, both the melody of the refrain and the Spanish translation of the verses have been revised.
