4. Synthesis
The music for liturgy and devotional music of the Lowlands of Luzon reflects the
impact of Spanish colonization which lasted for almost three centuries, and how the
introduction of Christianity affected the religious practices of the ethnolinguistic groups.
Unfortunately, these are on the verge of extinction due to modernization and diversity of
religion. However, efforts from the youth and education sector are joining forces in
reviving long lost traditions, if not through the traditional means, through the surviving
remnants of the Hispanic-influenced music which are undergoing a transformation into
present day versions.
