US$8.99

The "Himno Nacional de Costa Rica" (English: "Costa Rican National Anthem"), also known by its incipit, "Noble patria, tu hermosa bandera" (English: "Noble fatherland, your beautiful flag"), is the national anthem of Costa Rica.

Its music was composed by Manuel María Gutiérrez Flores [es], who dedicated the score to French adventurer Gabriel-Pierre Lafond de Lurcy, and adopted in 1852. The music was created to receive delegates from the United Kingdom and the United States that year for the Webster-Crampton Treaty. It was the first Central American national anthem.
