XI SYNTHESIS
Among the numerous composed vocal music of the Philippines, the two themes on : nationalism and
love are predominant.. The two representative nationalistic songs discussed throughout the lesson,
Marangal na Dalit ng Katagalugan (Nakpil) and Lupang Hinirang (Felipe), played very important roles in
our history, being iconic representations of our nation’s love of freedom, at this point in time,
from the Spanish regime. On the other hand, Nasaan Ka Irog ? (Abelardo) Gaano Ko Ikaw Kamahal ?
(Cuenco) are our artists’ creative expressions of love which are valued in our Philippine culture and
heritage..

X GLOSSARY OF MUSIC TERMS & SYMBOLS
1. Himno Nacional Filipino –known presently as Lupang Hinirang, the National Anthem of the
Philippines, with music by Julian Felipe, originally an instrumental march, known as either
Marcha Filipina Nacional or Marcha Filipino Magdalo, and lyrics from Jose Palma’s Filipinas, Letra
Para La Marcha Nacional. This work was commissioned by Emilio Aguinaldo and was played
during the declaration of Philippine Independence on June 12, 1898.
2. Marangal na Dalit ng Katagalugan – with music and lyrics written by Julio Nakpil in 1896.
Nakpil later changed the title to Salve Patria. This work was commissioned by Andres

Bonifacio, but Emilio Aguinaldo preferred the work of Julian Felipe. It was fist played to
commemorate the eighth anniversary of Rizal’s execution on December 30, 1904.
3. Kundiman – known as The Philippines’ signature love song; It is an art song in triple time.
According to Raymundo Bañas, there are three theories on the origin of the kundiman: a
shortened version of the phrase “kung hindi man”, derived from the verse “Hele hele nang
kandungan/ Hele hele ng kundiman”, and kundiman, referring to a red cloth worn by male dancers
or men in the Philippines. Aside from messages of love, it also expressed sentiments of
nationalism.
4. Nasaan Ka Irog? – a kundiman in slow triple time composed by Nicanor Abelardo in 1923,
which was inspired by his childhood friend Dr. Francisco Tecson’s personal experience on
love. The original Spanish was written by Narciso Asistio; the Tagalog lyrics were written by
Jose Corazon de Jesus. This song has inspired the filming of a 1936 movie, retaining the
title of the song.
5. Nicanor Santa Ana Abelardo (1893-1934) – He is one of our great composers, pianist, and a
teacher of composition at the University of the Philippines then Conservatory of Music. His
140 compositions include kundimans, sarswelas, instrumental works, and UP Beloved, a
university l hymn which won first prize in an open musical composition contest.
6. Ballad- a narrative song, ranging from indigenous forms to Hispanic-influenced themes. The
romantic themes of the contemporary ballad or urban popular love songs are closely related
to the kundiman.
7. Gaano Ko Ikaw Kamahal? – a ballad composed by Ernani Cuenco in 1979, with lyrics by
Levi Celerio, both National Artists for Music. It was used as a movie theme for a 1980s
movie with the same title, starring Lito Lapid.
8. Ernani Joson Cuenco (1936-1988) – proclaimed National Artist for Music in 1999; He was an
award-winning film scorer in the early 1960s, working in collaboration with National Artist
for Music Levi Celerio. He was also a teacher and a seasoned orchestra player.
9. Order of National Artists – The highest national recognition bestowed upon to Filipino
artists who have made significant contributions to the development of Philippine arts;
namely, Music, Dance, Theater, Visual Arts, Literature, Film, Broadcast Arts, and

Architecture and Allied Arts. The order is jointly administered by the National Commission
for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) and the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) and
conferred by the President of the Philippines upon recommendation by both institutions.

Music, even without the words, can tell us stories about a particular time, place, person, and
event – much more, music with words. Two of the most well-known songs by our National Artists
for Music - Sa Ugoy ng Duyan (San Pedro) and Payapang Daigdig (De Leon)are examples of
Philippine solo and choral music. By listening and singing these songs, we take part in the stories
behind each one, making it a story of our own.

X ASSESSMENT
Rubrics for Group Composition and its Performance
XI SYNTHESIS
In the search for a national identity, Filipinos made music as a means to express who they
were. Four of these composers – Molina, Buenaventura, Kasilag, and Maceda –have successfully
stamped a Filipino identity in their artistic creations. .. Their works drew inspiration from their being
Filipino; from our country, our people, our culture, our traditions, and freely used our own
instruments, system of notation, Filipino terms, and tunes to truly depict who we are.

Stage a class variety show showcasing different genres of Philippine popular music. Take note: no
two genres should be repeated, or at least, each song must be distinct in nature. You may
include a genre that has not been discussed but be sure to consult your teacher first.
Choose an original Philippine music (as much as possible, avoid revivals) and give an introduction,
including the title, artist (composer, artist, and songwriter (all, if possible)), and a short description of
the lyrics’ message. Live accompaniment on guitar, piano and/or rhythmic instruments, is highly
encouraged, but minus-one accompaniment may be used.

XI SYNTHESIS
Philippine popular music is the music of the majority, probably because it has more themes that
people can relate to. Because of the emergence of innovations such as high-technology instruments
and recording equipments, plus the internet, more and more people are able to access and also, create
their own music to express their ideas and address certain issues, such as on nationalism and social
relevance. Avenue for music is not just the classical concert hall, but is now practically anywhere.
Song writing contests support not only existing artists but also give encouragement to the emerging
song writers.
