Julian Felipe
Composer of National Anthem
Ang Pambansang Awit ng Pilipinas
LUPANG HINIRANG
Bayang magiliw, perlas ng silanganan
Alab ng puso, sa dibdib mo’y buhay.
Lupang Hinirang, duyan ka ng magiting
Sa manlulupig, ‘di ka pasisiil
Sa dagat at bundok, sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw
May dilag ang tula at awit sa paglayang minamahal
Ang kislap ng watawat mo’y tagumpay na nagniningning
Ang bituin at araw niya’y kalian pa ma’y di magdidilim
Lupa ng araw, ng luwalhati’t pagsinta
Buhay ay langit sa piling mo
Ang aming ligaya na ‘pag may mang-aapi
Ang mamatay nang dahil sa iyo.

Lyrics of Kundiman
Anak ng Dalita (Santiago)
Ako’y anak ng dalita na tigib ng luha
Ang naritong humihikbi na bigyan ng awa
Buksan mo ang langit at kusa mong pakinggan
Ang aking ligalig sa pagdaramdam
At kung hindi ka mahahabag
Sa lungkot kong dinaranas
Puso’t diwa’y nabibihag sa libing masasadlak
Magtanong ka kundi tunay na kislap ng mga tala
magtanong ka rin sa ulap sa taglay kong dalita.

instruments.
3. Recognize the pattern of rhythm.
4. Discover how the singer or player presents the meaning with
greatest clarity, effect, and beauty.
5. Effective use of singing voice means: developing pure vowel
sounds, clear enunciations as in speech, consonants, must
not obstruct the tone of vowels, flexible lips and tongue, an
open throat, relaxed muscles, good posture, an even steady
support of tone, the maintenance of pleasant quality
throughout chest, nasal, and head tones.
