Let Us Study
LET US REVIEW!

To understand more the beauty of tempo, let us go back to its definition and
its type of tempo.

Tempo comes from the Latin word tempus which means “time” Tempo
pertains to the speed at which a musical piece or passage is meant to be
played. The speed of music can be slow or fast or in between. Tempo
influences how music sounds and feels. Thus making music more expressive
and alive.

The tempo of a musical piece is usually indicated in the top of a musical score.
This is called tempo marking. Tempo markings can be found anywhere in a
piece depending on the composers desire to change the mood of the song. The
different kinds of tempo marking are written in Italian. Below are some of
them.

Term Meaning
Grave Solemn, very slow
Largo Broad, very slow
Adagio Slow, but not as slow as largo
Lento Slow
Andante Moderately slow
Andantino A little ore faster than andante
Moderato At a moderate speed
Allegro Fast, lively and bright
Vivace Fast and lively
Presto Very fast
Accelerando Gradually becoming faster
Ritardando Gradually becoming slower
A Tempo Means to return in its original speed

demonstrate the some different kinds of tempo in a given music sheet. In our

LYRICS:

Manunugtog ay nangagpasimula Kung may pista sa aming bayan

At nangagsayawan ang mga
mutya
Sa mga padyak parang magigiba
Ang bawat tapakan ng mga bakya
Kung pagmamasdan ay
nakatutuwa
Ang hinhin nila'y hindi nawawala
Tunay na hinahangaan ng madla
Ang sayaw nitong ating inang
bansa
Dahil sa ikaw mutyang paraluman
Walang kasing-ganda sa dagat
silangan
Mahal na hiyas ang puso mo
hirang
Ang pag-ibig mo'y kay hirap
kamtan
Kung hindi taos ay mabibigo
Sa mga pagsuyong iniaalay
Kung hindi taos ay mabibigo
Sa mga pagsuyong iniaalay
Ang lahat ay nagdiriwang
May lechon bawat tahanan
May gayak pati simbahan
Paglabas ni Santa Mariang mahal
Kami ay taos na nagdarasal
Prusisyon dito ay nagdaraan
Kung kaya't ang iba'y nag-aabang
May tumutugtog at may sumasayaw
Mayro'ng sa galak ay napapasigaw
Ang pista sa bayan namin ay gan'yan
Ang saya'y tila walang katapusan
Manunugtog ay nangagpasimula
At nangagsayawan ang mga mutya
Sa mga padyak parang magigiba
Ang bawat tapakan ng mga bakya
Kung pagmamasdan ay nakatutuwa
Ang hinhin nila'y hindi nawawala
Tunay na hinahangaan ng madla
Ang sayaw nitong ating inang bansa

Halina, aking mahal

Ligaya ko ay ikaw
Kapag 'di ka natatanaw
Ang buhay ko ay anong panglaw
Halina, aking mahal
Ligaya ko ay ikaw
Kapag 'di ka natatanaw
Ang buhay ko ay anong panglaw
