  • Music in the Heart of Manila: Quiapo from the Colonial Period to Contemporary Times: Tradition, Change, Continuity Ma
    Music in The Heart of Manila: Quiapo from the Colonial Period to Contemporary Times: Tradition, Change, Continuity Ma. Patricia Brillantes-Silvestre A brief history of Quiapo Quiapo is a key district of Manila, having as its boundaries the winding Pasig River and the districts of Sta. Cruz, San Miguel and Sampaloc. Its name comes from a floating water lily specie called kiyapo (Pistia stratiotes), with thick, light-green leaves, similar to a tiny, open cabbage. Pre-1800 maps of Manila show Quiapo as originally a cluster of islands with swampy lands and shallow waters (Andrade 2006, 40 in Zialcita), the perfect breeding place for the plant that gave its name to the district. Quiapo’s recorded history began in 1578 with the arrival of the Franciscans who established their main missionary headquarters in nearby Sta. Ana (Andrade 42), taking Quiapo, then a poor fishing village, into its sheepfold. They founded Quiapo Church and declared its parish as that of St. John the Baptist. The Jesuits arrived in 1581, and the discalced Augustinians in 1622 founded a chapel in honor of San Sebastian, at the site where the present Gothic-style basilica now stands. At about this time there were around 30,000 Chinese living in Manila and its surrounding areas, but the number swiftly increased due to the galleon trade, which brought in Mexican currency in exchange for Chinese silk and other products (Wickberg 1965). The Chinese, noted for their business acumen, had begun to settle in the district when Manila’s business center shifted there in the early 1900s (originally from the Parian/Chinese ghetto beside Intramuros in the 1500s, to Binondo in the 1850s, to Sta.Cruz at the turn of the century).

    3rd International Music and Performing Arts Conference Proceedings (13-15 November 2018) ISBN 978-983-2084-43-3 Kundiman in Media: Media in Kundiman James C. Diaz University of the Philippines, Philippines e-mail: [email protected] Cite this article (APA): James C. Diaz (2018). Kundiman in media: Media in Kundiman. In Mohd Kipli Abdul Rahman, C.S.C. Chan, Zaharul Lailiddin Saidon, C. Augustine & S. Maniam (Eds.), Proceedings of the 3rd International Music and Performing Arts Conference (pp. 84-89). Tanjong Malim: Faculty of Music and Performing Arts, Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris, Malaysia. Abstract The Kundiman has been embedded in Filipino culture as its traditional love songs. But more than a love song, it is an art song where many great Filipino musicians have composed in that genre such as Nicanor Abelardo and Francisco Santiago, among others. The songs speak not only of love of a man for a woman, but more than that, is a song that elicits national fervor; love for the motherland. The original structure since its inception is closely related to the kumintang: a rhythmic pattern that has its roots in Spanish music. In time, the form has been watered down and since then became known as a love song, and very few works have been made. This paper aims to trace the Kundiman that appeared in different media formats such as recordings, both in the vinyl disc and extant 78 rpm shellac records; on the radio and the Television, and in the films as theme songs or musical renditions. A discography of the Kundiman songs that was written and performed for the media, is of primary importance.

  • A Short History of the Philippine Sarsuwela (1879-2009)
    PHILIPPINE HUMANITIES REVIEW 149 A SHORT HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINE SARSUWELA (1879-2009) NICANOR G. TIONGSON Introduction In the Philippines, the sarsuwela is a play with songs and dances that is usually written in colloquial prose. Containing from one to fi ve acts, it presents typical Filipino characters moving within the framework of a love story and engaged in confl icts arising from contemporary social, political, economic, or cultural issues. Th e sarsuwela is also called sarsuela, zarzuela, sarsuelet, drama lirico, operetta, sarsuyla, dulang hinonihan, dulang inawitan, or dulang may awit in the various languages of the country. Very typical are the story and characters of the most famous sarsuwela of all time—the phenomenal Dalagang Bukid, a three-act sarsuwela by librettist Hermogenes Ilagan and composer Leon Ignacio, which premiered at the Teatro Zorilla in Manila in 1919. Atang de la Rama, the sarsuwela’s star, claimed that it had at least 1,000 performances before it was restaged at the Manila Grand Opera House in 1940 as a benefi cio for Hermogenes Ilagan. In 1987, the play was restaged for Atang de la Rama by Tanghalang Pilipino of the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) to celebrate Atang’s proclamation as National Artist for Th eatre and Music. pphrhr jjournal2010.inddournal2010.indd SSec1:149ec1:149 111/5/20101/5/2010 99:23:35:23:35 AAMM 150 TIONGSON Act 1 opens at the salon of a nightclub with an interesting set of habitués: senators and congressmen spending money on women; the American John and his Filipina girlfriend Petra; the bailarina (taxidancer) Miling and her admirer Parlong, a married man; and Cobang who arrives with her suitor Paco looking for her husband Parlong.

  • History of Philippine Music
    PRESENTED BY: Frances Ramona Pantig Joyce Cristene Marquez Fatima Munoz Bianca Monique Bargas Fundamentals of Music 1 Fundamentals of Music 2 Filipinos are said to be Musical Peoples. In most cases, singing is accompanied by dancing. They used Bamboo canes, Palm leaves and bark of trees to write their songs and a piece of sharp stick or iron for their pen. Even their instruments were made of Bamboo and wood which indicated their primitiveness. Fundamentals of Music 3 Functions of their music: Religious Social life Characteristics of their Music: Recitative Mostly simple two note music Example of these are: | Dal-lot – a song sung by farmers during wedding, baptismal and others parties accompanied by Kutibeng (guitar). | Pamulinawen – is a love song | Dung-aw – is a song requesting a dead person to be good in his next life. Fundamentals of Music 4 Early Filipinos music was influenced by trade relations other races like: |Malays |Indonesians |Arabs |Chinese |Indo-Chinese |Japanese and |Hindus Fundamentals of Music 5 Chinese, Japanese and Hindus introduce their five-tone scale called pentatonic. The rhythmic effects through the use of gongs, drums and cymbals were brought by Hindus and Mohammedans.

Guillermo a Corpus | 115 Annotating Alice: A Biography from Her Bibliography | 16 Roberto G. Paulino Rendering Culture Political | 161 Timeline | 237 Acknowledgment | 241 Biographies | 242 PCAN | 243 Broadening the Public Sphere of Art | 191 FRISSON The Social Form of Art by Patrick D. Flores The criticism of Alice Guillermo presents an instance in which the encounter of the work of art resists a series of possible alienations even as it profoundly acknowledges the integrity of distinct form. The critic in this situation attentively dwells on the material of this form so that she may be able to explicate the ecology and the sociality without which it cannot concretize. The work of art, therefore, becomes the work of the world, extensively and deeply conceived. Such present-ness is vital as the critic faces the work in the world and tries to ramify that world beyond what is before her. This is one alienation that is calibrated. The work of art transpiring in the world becomes the work of the critic who lets it matter in language, freights it and leavens it with presence so that human potential unerringly turns plastic, or better still, animate: Against the cold stone, tomblike and silent, are the living glances, supplicating, questioning, challenging, or speaking—the eyes quick with feeling or the movements of thought, the mouths delicately shaping speech, the expressive gestures, and the bodies in their postures determined by the conditions of work and social circumstance.

  • The Piano Compositional Style of Lucrecia Roces Kasilag D.M.A. Document
    THE PIANO COMPOSITIONAL STYLE OF LUCRECIA ROCES KASILAG D.M.A. DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Caroline Besana Salido, B.M., M.M. ***** The Ohio State University 2002 Document Committee: Approved by Professor Steven Glaser, Adviser Professor Arved Ashby Professor Kenneth Williams _______________ Document Adviser School of Music Copyright by Caroline Besana Salido 2002 ABSTRACT Often alluded to as the “First Lady of Philippine Music,” Lucrecia “King” Roces Kasilag, born in San Fernando, La Union, Philippines, on August 31, 1918, holds numerous national and international leadership roles as composer, educator, administrator, and researcher. Kasilag has composed more than 250 works covering most genres including orchestra, chamber, organ, piano, vocal, sacred, operetta, dance, theatre, electronic and incidental music. She is a nationally acclaimed composer and artist in the Philippines. However, most of her works are largely unpublished and difficult to retrieve for use in the academic, as well as in the performance community. Therefore, her contributions are not well known in the Western world to the degree they deserve. This document intends to provide a brief historical background of Philippine music, a biography of Kasilag describing her work and accomplishments, a list of her compositions and her contributions as a composer in ii today’s musical world. The writer will present detailed analyses of selected piano works for their sound, texture, harmony, melody, rhythm and form. The writer will also examine Western and Eastern influences within these piano works, reflecting Kasilag’s classic and romantic orientation with some use of twentieth-century techniques.
