The masses of excited states of mixed orbital symmetry of nonstrange and strange baryons belonging to the lowest [70,1{sup -}] multiplet are calculated in the 1/N{sub c} expansion to order 1/N{sub c} with a new method which allows one to considerably reduce the number of linearly independent operators entering the mass formula. This study represents an extension to SU(6) of our work on nonstrange baryons, the framework of which was SU(4). The conclusion regarding the role of the flavor operator, neglected in previous SU(6) studies, is reinforced. Namely, both the flavor and spin operators contribute dominantly to the flavor-spin breaking.
