PHILIPPINE CONSTABULARY BAND
The Philippine Constabulary Band was a symphonic band formed in
1901 by Lt. Walter Loving of the US Army’s 48th Volunteer Infantry.
On October 15, 1902, US Civil Governor General William Taft
formally approved the band, originally composed of 400 volunteer
male vocalists.
Since its first public performance on May 20, 1903, the band has
brought the country international fame through its participation in
international competitions, including the 1904 St. Louis Exposition
in the USA, where the band placed second, despite the power
blackout that occurred during one of its performances.
The band also represented the country in the 1915 Panama Canal
Exposition in the USA. There, John Philip Sousa, known as the
“king of marches,” cited the band as among the world’s greatest.
The band also participated at the 1937 Golden Gate International
Exposition, and played during the 1909 inauguration of US
President William Howard Taft.
Unfortunately, the band was disbanded during World War II, where
most of its members were killed and instruments were lost. Lt.
Loving was also killed during the 1945 Battle of Manila. The band
was reorganized in 1946, and placed under the service of the
Philippine Army. It was led by Col. Antonino Buenaventura.
Buenaventura, who was the leader of the band for 16 years, was
named a National Artist for Music in 1988. The band, later renamed
the Philippine Army Band, became the country’s leading military
band.
VAUDEVILLE
Vaudeville was a theatrical genre of variety
entertainment popular in the United States and
Canada from the early 1880’s until the early
1930’s. Each performance was made up of a
series of separate, unrelated acts grouped
together on a common bill. Types of acts
included popular and classical musician,
dancers, comedians, trained animals,
magicians, female and male impersonators,
acrobats, illustrated songs, jugglers, athletes,
celebrities, minstrels, and movies. A vaudeville
performer is often referred to as a vaudevillian.
DURING JAPANESE PERIODS
Despite the terror and uncertainty
brought by the Japanese in our country,
playing and listening to music were among
the leisure activities that somehow made life
bearable for Filipinos…
DURING JAPANESE PERIODS
Under their rule, the Japanese
imposed their own music on the
country. Japanese music was
heard daily in radio broadcasts.
Their songs were also taught in
public schools. Students, however,
never took these songs to heart.
DURINGJAPANESE PERIODS
 The performance of jazz and Western music identified withthe allied
nationsof the war was prohibited. Hence, the Japanese held
conferences and lectureson Oriental music in Manilawith the hope of
divertingthe loyalty of the Filipinos away fromthe Americans. The first
was a Japanese Musical Mission to the Philippines held on May 7, 1943,
with the support of the New Philippine Musical Federation headed by
Kosaku Yamada.
DURING JAPANESE PERIODS
The Japanese, nevertheless encouraged the
creationand performance of music with native
themes through music contests, Concerts were
also a common formof amusement for Filipinos
at the time and the Metropolitan Theater
became an important venue for cultural events.
DURING JAPANESE PERIODS
 Classical music, including opera,
flourished during the war. For instance, the
New Philippine Symphony, the first all-
Filipino orchestra, was organized. It
performed an all-Philippine symphonic
program in July 1942, with Francisco
Santiago as conductor. The Philippine
Conservatory of Music, an affiliate of the
Philippine Women’s University, was one of
the few music schools in the country that
opened during the war.
DURING JAPANESE PERIODS
Music-making remained a popular pastime in
homes. Families sang and played musical
instruments to entertain themselves. On special
occasions, families held special concerts for
themselves, as well as their friends. All these prove
that even during turbulent times, Filipinos’ love of
music could never be suppressed
SYNTHESIS
Basically, Philippine Music during the
American and Japanese periods still
manifested heavy Hispanic tradition.
During this periods, music was taken
more as a form incorporated in theatre.
At the same time, it also proved that we
Filipinos can also do whatever the
Westerners can do, as seen in the
performers of Philippine Constabulary
Band in 1904, proving the Americans
who saw the Filipino race as half-
savages wrong, it showed the
resourcefulness of Filipinos as seen in
