What is Contemporary Philippine music?
Contemporary music in the Philippines usually refers to compositions that
have adopted ideas and elements from twentieth century art music in the
West, as well as the latest trends and musical styles in the entertainment
industry. This brief
introduction covers only the works written by the art music composers.
What is traditional Filipino music?
Every country in the world has their own traditional music, Filipino
traditional music portrays the beliefs, customs, and traditions of the rural
folks. Traditional music may be classified such as to glorify the beauty of
nature, courtship music, or
welcome songs
What are the characteristics of traditional Philippine music?
Three main characteristics are exemplified by traditional ethnic music. The
first is the cantata form. A cantata is a vocal composition with an instrumental
accompaniment and often contains more than one movement. Another
characteristic
that is exemplified is the use of acapella. An acapella song is a vocal
composition without instrumental accompaniment. Lastly, the sonata form is
used – a composition for one or more solo instruments, one of which is usually
a keyboard instrument, and usually consisting of three or four independent
movements varying in key, mood, and tempo (Anupol, 2007).
