  We consider the quantization of chiral solitons with baryon number $B>1$.
Classical solitons are obtained within the framework of a variational approach.
From the form of the soliton solution it can be seen that besides the group of
symmetry describing transformations of the configuration as a whole there are
additional symmetries corresponding to internal transformations. Taking into
account the additional degrees of freedom leads to some sort of spin alignment
for light nuclei and gives constraints on their spectra.
