Canto de la Monarca (2014) 2 Audio CD Box

Canto de la Monarca: Mujeres en México (Song of the Monarch: Women in Mexico) is
Ana Cervantes’ most recent commissioning/recording project, for which she asked 16
composers from six countries —Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, UK, US, and Spain—to write
a solo piano piece inspired by an important woman in Mexican history. The project takes
as its symbol the Monarch butterfly, a potent metaphor for persistence and valor in a
seemingly fragile body, as every year it migrates thousands of miles, finding its sanctuary
in Mexico.
