VOCAL MUSIC OF THE ROMANTIC PERIOD

Heralded by the French Revolution, the


Romantic Period was one of subjectivity. The music
is intensely emotional, deriving its strength from
massive forces and vivid orchestration. It was also
in this period, that the virtuoso emerged and
performed in numerous concerts.

The Romantic Era brought further changes


in the world of vocal music. The art song (lied)
became a special category of vocal music.
Composers made great strides during this time to
closely associate the text or words of a piece with its musical counterpart.

The real achievements of the Romantics in theatre were in opera. One of the striking
characteristics of the late 18th and early 19th centuries is the development of the idea of
romantic love linked to marriage. Romantic operatic voice is trained to be full and rich,
powerful enough to fill an opera house in the days before electronic amplification.

In the Philippines, the sarsuwela, also known as the „drama simbolico‟ was a
traditional theatre genre that dominated the Philippine theatre scene over one hundred years.
It was first introduced by Dario Cdes.nIts storyline was commonly based on domestic issues
often exemplified a strong sense of Filipino nationalism and anguish against the country‟s
foreign imperialists.Famous writers of sarsuwela include Benigno Zamora, Severino Reyes and
Clodualdo del Mundo. Dalagang Bukid (Country Maiden, 1919) arguably the most popular
sarsuwela in Tagalog.

Singers like Maria Callas and Kirsten Chenoweth became famous because of their
performances from different Operas‟ and musical plays abroad. In the Philippines artist like
Isay Alvarez, Robert Seňa, Monique Wilson, Jaime Rivera and Leah Salonga also became
famous not only in local scene but abroad as well for their roles in musical plays like the
“MissSaigon.”

In fact, Leah Salonga won various international awards like Olivier, Tony, Drama Desk
and Theatre World awards. She also received
the Order of Lakandula Award from
Philippine president Gloria Macapagal-
Arroyo in recognition of her excellence in her
craft and for using her talents to benefit
Philippine society.
