RIZAL AS A MUSICIAN

A.) Rizal as a Pianist

As we all know, The Rizal family is one of the richest families in Calamba during the Spanish
era. Their family was the first to build a large stone house in Calamba. They had a carriage.
They had a home library with 1000 volumes, and they were all educated in Manila. In short,
their family was rich. Because Jose belongs to an elite family, they can afford to have piano.
The equivalent of the piano those times were like the gadgets now. Those who have piano in
their houses were only rich families. Most people who belong to rich families in the past really
know how to play piano. When one knows how to play piano, it is as if he/she is a genius
because he/she can interpret the piece which most people cannot do. That kind of talent
brings an image that one belongs to a respected and elite family. He knew it maybe because
he had a mentor, a family member or not.
RIZAL AS MUSICIAN
B.) Rizal as a Composer
In my own analysis, Rizal has no mentor or tutor in music composition. He learned it on his
own. As a pianist, it is his part to explore music on his own without others help sometimes. In
my own experience, time will come that as a musician; you will really experiment on the
chords and make tunes. It is just that you want to mix and make music the way you want it,
the way you want it to sound and the feelings you want the music to evoke. I believe that
Rizal is an “explorer” of all possibilities. Of course, all of us become curious sometimes and
we test on things to work in different ways. All I can say is that Rizal learned composing on
his own and developed his own style in making music. Rizal’s Compositions Rizal’s
composition, Leonor is a Kundiman of music. It sounds sweet but the content or its lyrics
contains his being “heartbroken” with Leonor.
Leonor Rivera - Leonor was one of the most important women in the life of Jose Rizal. She was the second to
win Rizal’s heart. Leonor Rivera first met Rizal when she was only twelve years old, and Jose was eighteen
years old. Her parents were distant relatives of Rizal whom he addressed “Tia Betang” and “Tio Antonio.” The
management of their boarding house which they called “Casa Tomasina” was Tia Betang’s responsibility. Their
next meeting was when Leonor was already fourteen and Rizal was twenty. In fact, they were cousins but
distant. They had affairs and they kept them to Leonor’s parents. They were surprised to know that her parents
were no objection to their relationship. And so, they were no longer afraid to be seen together. Time came that
Rizal went to Europe to have further studies in medicine with the purpose of curing her mother’s eyesight and to
pursue his vision of unity for his countrymen. Both of them wrote letters to each other but they did not receive
even one. With Leonor’s mother decision, Leonor married Henry Kipping. She received Rizal’s letter days
before her wedding when her mother went to Manila. She knew that her mother was intercepting the letters. It
was too late at all.

Rizal struggled to finish his manuscript in Noli Me Tangere. Leonor was Maria Clara in “Noli Me Tangere.” That
is why in the story; Maria Clara was forced engaged on Linares. Rizal knew that Leonor had fallen ill. (Puerperal
Fever- a fever that results from an infection of the womb following childbirth or abortion after delivering a second
son.) To make the story short, Leonor Rivera-Kipping died on August 28, 1893.
Leonor

Recuerdo triste tan solo me anhelo ay Leonor. De a que lla feliz hora en que me diste tu amor. que me
diste tu amor. Suspiros mil. que en mi pecho exhala E son consuelos que en mi pecho siento el dolor.
Por haber perd ido ay! Lucar ido y amor lucar ino y amor. Adios Leonor ay! adios adios ay!

English Translation:
I just thought I remember longing oh Leonor,
that happy moment that you gave me your love.
You gave me your love. My chest breaths a thousand sigh… They are a comfort for my suffering heart.
For having lost your love.
Goodbye O. Leonor, goodbye a Leonor…
Pastores a Belen

Pastores a belen, Vamos con alas ya, A ver a nuestro bien, El hijo de maria. Pastores a belen, vamos
con alegria, a ver a nuestro bien al hijo de maria. Alli, alli, alli, nos espera jesus, . Alli, alli, alli, con vida
nos da. Llevemos pues flores y miel. Para rezar al Niño Emmanuel. Puede tocar al tambor la musica y
la danza, iremus al portal, iremus sin tardanza.

English Translation:

Let’s go shepherds to Bethlehem, Come now with wings to see our good, the son of Mary. Let’s go
Shepherds to Bethlehem, Let’s go with joy, to see our good the son of Mary. There, there, there Jesus
awaits us. There, there, there, he gives us life.
Let us bring flowers and honey, to pray to the Child Emmanuel.
Play the drums and the music for dance. We will go to the manger. We will go without delay.
Kundiman
Jose Rizal wrote “Kundiman” in Tagalog on September 12th, 1891. The theme of Rizal’s “Kundiman” is his intense love for
his Motherland. A kundiman is a traditional Filipino love song sang by a young man to serenade the woman of his love. The
theme of Rizal’s “Kundiman” was his intense love for his Motherland. His words reflected his optimism that the Philippines
would be freed from injustice and bondage.

Kundiman

Tunay ngayong umid yaring dila’t puso

Sinta’y umiilag, tuwa’y lumalayo,
Bayan palibhasa’y lupig at sumuko
Sa kapabayaan ng nagturong puno.
Datapuwa’t muling sisikat ang araw,
Pilit maliligtas ang inaping bayan,
Magbabalik mandin at muling iiral
Ang ngalang Tagalog sa sandaigdigan.
Ibubuhos namin ang dugo’t babaha
Matubos nga lamang ang sa amang lupa
Habang di ninilang panahong tadhana,
Sinta’y tatahimik, iidlip ang nasa.
ALIN MANG LAHI
Among Jose Rizal’s musical compositions is the song Alin Mang Lahi (In Any Race). The lyrics of the song, also penned by Rizal, talk about the
quest for freedom from oppression by foreign invaders, and the willingness to fight battles to restore freedom for one’s countrymen.

ALIN MANG LAHI

Alin mang lahi, insinasanggalang

Sa lupit ang kanyang lupang tinubuan
Tuloy pinaghahandugan
Ng buhay at dugo kung kailangan.
Ang kamatayan man, kung saka-sakaling
Igiginhawa ng mga kalahi
Tatanggapin nakangiti
Kaaliwa’t tuwang di mumunti.
Nguni’t pagkasawing-palad yata
Ng katagalugang napapanganyaya
Bukod pa sa ibang umaaba
Lalong nagbibigay-hapis ang ibang kapwa.
Sabagay di kulang sa pupuhunanin
Lakas, dunong, tapang, yaman ay gayon din
Aywan kung bakit at inaalipin
Ng alin mang lahing makasuno natin?
