Work introduction
Cultivo Una Rosa Blanca (I have a rose to tend) for chorus and piano sets one of the most famous poems by Cuba's national poet Jose Marti to beautiful music.
"I have a rose to tend
In July as in January;
I give it to the true friend
Who offers his frank hand to me.
And for the cruel one whose blows
Break the heart by which I live,
Thistle nor thorn do I give:
For him, too, I have a white rose"
