15. Nicanor Abelardo was born in San Miguel de Mayumo, Bulacan. His mother belonged
to a family of artists in Guagua, the Hensons. He was introduced to music when he
was five years old, when his father taught him the solfeggio and the banduria. At the
age of 8, he was able to compose his estoryahe first work, a waltz entitled "Ang
Unang Buko," which was dedicated to his grandmother. At the age of 13, he was
already playing at saloons and cabarets in Manila. At age 15, he was already teaching
in barrio schools in San Ildefonso and San Miguel Bulacan. All of these happened
even before young Abelardo finally took up courses under Guy F. Harrison and Robert
Schofield at the UP Conservatory of Music in 1916. By 1924, following a teacher’s
certificate in science and composition received in 1921, he was appointed head of the
composition department at the Conservatory. Years later, he ran a boarding school for
young musicians, and among his students were National Artist Antonino
Buenaventura, Alfredo Lozano and Lucino Sacramento. In the field of composition he
is known for his redefinition of the kundiman, bringing the genre to art-song status.
Among his works were "Nasaan Ka Irog," "Magbalik Ka Hirang," and "Himutok." He
died in 1934 at the age of 41, leaving a collection of more than 140 works.[1]
As a composition major at the University of the Philippines, he also composed the
melody for the university's official anthem, U.P. Naming Mahal.

18. ERNANI CUENCO’S AUTHOBIOGRAPHY
Ernani Joson Cuenco (May 10, 1936 – 1988) was a Filipino
composer,[1] film scorer, musical director and music teacher. He
wrote an outstanding and memorable body of works that resonate
with the Filipino sense of musicality and which embody an
ingenious voice that raises the aesthetic dimensions of
contemporary Filipino music. Cuenco played with the Filipino Youth
Symphony Orchestra and the Manila Symphony Orchestra from
1960 to 1968, and the Manila Chamber Soloists from 1966 to 1970.
He completed a music degree in piano and cello from the
University of Santo Tomas where he also taught for decades until
his death in 1988.
His songwriting credits include "Nahan, Kahit na Magtiis," and
"Diligin Mo ng Hamog ang Uhaw na Lupa," "Pilipinas," "Inang
Bayan," "Isang Dalangin," "Kalesa," "Bato sa Buhangin" and "Gaano
Kita Kamahal." The latter song shows how Cuenco enriched the
Filipino love ballad by adding the elements of kundiman to it.

3. Kundiman-Known as The Philippines’ signature love song; It is an
art song in triple time. According to Raymundo Banas, there are 3
theories on the origin of the Kundiman: a shorten version of the
phrase “Kung hindi man”, derived from the verse “Hele hele nang
kandungan/ Hele hele ng kundiman”, and kundiman, referrin to a
red cloth worn by male dancers or men in the Philippines. Aside
from messages of love, it also expressed sentiments of nationalism.

were written by Jose Corazon de Jesus. This song has inspired the filming of a 1936 m0vie,
retaining the title of the song.
