Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, by celebrating the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America.
The day of September 15 is significant because it is the anniversary of independence for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and September 18, respectively.

The Spanish Song Companion
by
Jacqueline Cockburn (Compiled by, Translator); Richard Stokes (Editor, Translator)
This introduction to the rich heritage of Spanish song contains the texts of more than 300 songs, with parallel translations in English. The majority are love poems and form an anthology of Spanish poetry from the 13th to the 20th century. The songs and cycles frequently heard in recital are included. Albeniz, Falla, Granados, Rodrigo and Obradors are generously represented, as well as Catalan composers such as Montsalvatge and Mompou. The volume is arranged chronologically by composer and includes a guide to Spanish musical and literary terms and an appendix that lists the names and addresses of the music publishers.
