The "Song of the Senyera" is a composition for mixed chorus with music by Lluís Millet and lyrics based on a poem written by Joan Maragall. It was composed expressly to be the hymn of the Orfeó Catalàchoral group in the Catalonia community of Spain. It debuted at Montserrat in 1896, in a ceremony in honor of the Senyera, a traditional flag of the crown of Aragon which serves as the basis for other regional flags, including that of Catalonia.
