Marcelo Adonay
Marcelo Adonay, also known as Palestrina* of the Philippines, is regarded as an icon of the golden age of church music in the country and the top representative of church-trained musicians of the Spanish colonial period. He was born in Pakil, Laguna on February 6, 1848 to parents Mariano Adonay and Prudencia Quiteria, a peasant couple. From his humble beginnings as a self-taught musician, he emerged as a composer, conductor, official church organist, maestro di capella or choirmaster of San Agustin Church, and orchestra director. His important works include Liberame, 1869, Benedictus, 1895, Hosana, 1899, Te Deum, and a Grand Mass.
