12. Contemporary Philippine Music
+ RAMON P. SANTOS, PH. D.
+ Contemporary music in the Philippines usually refers to
compositions that have adopted ideas and elements from
twentieth century art music in the West, as well as the latest
trends and musical styles in the entertainment industry. This
brief introduction covers only the works written by the art music
composers.

13. + The modern Filipino repertoire consist of pieces that
have been written in twentieth century idioms that have
evolved out of such stylistic movements as
impressionism, expressionism, neo-classism, as well
as the so-called avant-garde and New Music. A good
number of these works have utilized the standard
formats of classical European music such as the
concerto, the symphony, the symphonic and tone
poems, cantata, etc. and may therefore be broadly
categorized as neo-classic. At the same time, they
have also been greatly influenced by the textural colors
of Debussy’s music and the ambiguous and “dissonant”
tonalities of early 20th century expressionist
compositions. Moreover, the sounds of non-Western
instruments have been added to the tonal fabric.

Doctorate degree at the Chicago Musical School in August
1924. He is the first Filipino musician to attain a doctorate
degree.

22. + Today, Francisco Santiago is one of the most celebrated
Filipino composers today. His kundiman "Anak Dalita" and

singers today. A hall in the Head Office of BDO (formerly
the PCIBank Twin Towers, head office of PCIB) was

government and the awarding of Service Awards of the

Bulacan to Valentin Abelardo and Placida Santa Ana, on
February 7, 1893[1] His mother belonged to a family of artists in
Guagua, the Henson. He was introduced to music when he
was five years old when his father taught him the solfeggio,
the bandurria, and the guitar at 6. His quick mastery of the
instruments has made him a prodigy in town. He could play his
father's arrangement of Rossini's "William Tell Overture" on the
guitar at age 6. He also learned the violin and other string
instruments given to him by his father, and learned how to play
quickly without much difficulty. In 1901, he wrote his first
composition, "Ang Unang Buko" and dedicated it to his
grandmother.

27. + In 1916, Abelardo entered the newly-established University of
the Philippines Conservatory of Music, taking courses under
Guy F. Harrison and Robert Schofield. During his studies, he

instructor in solfeggio and harmony. He took lessons in piano
under Jose Estella, violin under Bonifacio Abdon, and voice
under Victorino Carrion. He continued conducting cinema
orchestras and play the piano at saloons and cabarets during
this time, and this is also the time where he learned to drink
alcohol. in 1921 he finally received his degree in science and
composition, and thereafter took a post-graduate course which
he finished the next year. On 1924 he became head of the
composition department of the conservatory, and at night
taught private music lessons to some prominent families.

28. + He wrote most of his important works while teaching at the
conservatory. His graduation piece, a Piano Sonata in G Major,
was the first Sonata made by a Filipino composer[a] and his
post-graduate piece, the Piano Concerto in B-flat minor,
was the first concerto made by a Filipino composer. Almost all
of his kundiman was written during his time as well.
+ He asked a leave of one year because "There is a greater
demand in my activities which demand my whole personal
attention." He resigned his post in 1930 only to be reinstated in
the same year. In 1931 he received a grant to pursue advanced
musical studies abroad. He accepted the offer despite his little
savings, seeing his bright prospects in the future.

29. + Abelardo developed styles that combined European
romanticism with chromaticism
+ Nicanor Abelardo, along with Francisco Santiago, is
known for redefining the kundiman, bringing the form to
art-song status. Abelardo's kundiman songs, such as

proved to be popular among the Filipino people, and his
compositions are regularly played in concerts in the
