    CONTEMPORARY

    PHILIPPINE
    MUSIC
    According to national artist RAMON SANTOS, PhD, “contemporary music in the
    Philippines refers to compositions that have adopted ideas and elements from 20 th century
    art music in the West, as well as the latest trends and musical styles in the entertainment
    industry.”
    The modern Filipino repertoire consists of musical pieces that have been
    written in 20th century idioms that have evolved out of such stylistic
    movements as impressionism, expressionism, neo-classicism, as well as
    avant-garde and new music.
    • New music are compositions which are improvisational works such as:

    Dr. RAMON SANTOS’ early compositions, Radyasyon and Quadrasyon;

    JOSEFINO “CHINITO” TOLEDO’S Samut-sari, Pintigan and Terminal Lamentations, and

    JONATHAN BAES’ Wala and Banwa.


    20TH CENTURY TRADITIONAL COMPOSERS

    With Spain and then America having colonized


    the Philippines from the early 1500s to the late
    1800s, it was unavoidable that Western
    compositional techniques found their way into
    the works of Filipino composers. Yet, even 20th
    century Filipino composers have managed to
    retain some traditional elements in their
    assimilation of Western techniques. In fact,
    they have become the strongest foundations of
    what we now know as Philippine music.
