    There are three main streams of Philippine music: indigenous music, Spanish-influenced religious and secular music, and American/European-influenced classical, semi-classical, and popular music. Indigenous music includes various vocal and instrumental genres that were traditionally performed by the country's indigenous groups. Spanish colonization introduced western influences like religious music associated with Catholicism as well as secular genres like harana and kundiman. Later American rule further exposed Philippine music to western classical, popular, and light music styles through the education system and genres like sarswela and Pinoy pop emerged.

    Philippine Music

    Presented by Group 7
    Three Main Streams of
    Philippine Music
    1. Indigenous
    2. Spanish – influenced region and secular music
    3. American/European influenced classical, semi-classical, and popular
    music
    Indigenous
    • About 10% of the population follows indigenous traditions
    • 8% of this minority is made up of people from different language groups
    who live in the mountains of northern Luzon and on the islands of
    Mindanao, Sulu, Palawan, and Mindoro in the southern and western
    Philippines
    • The remaining 2% are Muslims from Mindanao and Sulu
    Indigenous
    • No written record of music in the Philippines prior to Magellan’s arrival in
    1521, subsequent reports by friars, civil servants, and travelers include
    descriptions of instrumental and vocal music—sometimes in passing,
    sometimes in greater detail
    • Various types of instruments made of bronze, bamboo, or wood are
    mentioned in these documents. Gongs of various sizes and shapes, drums,
    flutes of various types, zithers, lutes, clappers, and buzzers are among
    them
    Indigenous
    • Epics relating genealogies and exploits of heroes and gods; work songs
    related to planting, harvesting, and fishing; ritual songs to drive away evil
    spirits or to invoke blessings from the good spirits; songs to celebrate
    festive occasions such as marriage, birth, victory at war, or the settling of
    tribal disputes; mourning songs for the dead; courting songs; and
    children's game songs are examples of vocal genres
    • This type of music is still practiced by indigenous groups today
    Indigenous
    • Examples: talindaw (a boat song), the awit (a song in slow triple time), the
    tagulaylay (a mournful song), the sambotani (a song sung at a feast), the
    kumintang (a war song that later became a love song)
    Spanish – influenced religion music and
    secular music
    • With the coming of the Spaniards the Filipino’s music underwent a
    transformation with the influx of western influences, particularly the
    Spanish-European culture prevalent during the 17th to the 19th centuries
    • The Hispanization during the succeeding three centuries after 1521 was
    tied up with religious conversion
    • It effected a change in the people’s musical thinking and what emerged
    was a hybrid expression tinged with Hispanic flavor
    Spanish – influenced religion music and
    secular music
    • It produced religious music connected to and outside the Catholic liturgy
    and a European-inspired secular music adapted by the Filipinos and
    reflected in their folk songs and instrumental music
    • Examples:
    • Harana (Spanish – ‘Jarana’) – Serenade
    • Kundiman (Kung hindi man) – An art song about the love of man for a woman but
    can also be about patriotic sentiments
    • Pandanggo – originating from fandango of Spain
    American/European influenced classical,
    semi-classical, and popular music
    • The American regime lasted from 1898 to 1946 during which time
    Philippine music underwent another process of transformation
    • In the newly established public school system, music was included in the
    curriculum at the elementary and later at the high school levels
    • Music conservatories and colleges were established at the tertiary level
    • Graduates from these institutions included the first generation of Filipino
    composers whose works were written in western idioms and forms
    American/European influenced classical,
    semi-classical, and popular music
    • Their works and those of the succeeding generations of Filipino
    composers represent the classical art music tradition which continues to
    flourish today
    • Side by side with this classical art music tradition was a lighter type of
    music. This semi-classical repertoire includes stylized folk songs, theater
    music, and instrumental music.
    American/European influenced classical,
    semi-classical, and popular music
    • The sarswela tradition produced a large body of music consisting of songs
    patterned after opera arias of the day as well as short instrumental
    overtures and interludes. The strong band tradition in the Philippines,
    which began during the previous Spanish period and which continues to
    this day, produced outstanding musicians, composers and performers
    American/European influenced classical,
    semi-classical, and popular music
    • Another popular instrumental ensemble was the rondalla which
    superseded an earlier type of ensemble called the cumparsa
    • The latter was an adaptation of similar instrumental groups, the murza of
    Mexico and the estudiantina of Spain
    • American lifestyle and pop culture gave rise to music created by Filipinos
    using western pop forms. Referred to as Pinoy pop it includes a wide
    range of forms: folk songs, dance tunes, ballads, Broadway type songs,
    rock’ n’ roll, disco, jazz, and rap
