L MUSIC
 Religious music of the lowlands of Luzon
reveals the impact of Spanish colonization to
the Philippines which lasted for almost three
centuries. With the introduction of
Christianity came the different Western
forms of music that are used for religious
rites.
 Some of these were adapted by Filipino
musicians to suit Philippine culture and
traditions. At the same time, some indigenous
Philippine musical forms were incorporated to
Christian practices (i.e., Obando Fertility Rites
and Pasyon chant). These the reason why we have
Sacred Music.
Sacred music is performed or
composed for religious gatherings and
fellowship.
Secular Music refers to any
music that is not religious in
nature.
The Spaniards and the
American made significant
influence in the development
of
