What I Need to Know

In our previous lessons, you have learned how the western musical elements have greatly influenced our folk music. From vocal to instrumental music, a wide variety of folksongs were created in every province of Luzon, which only shows how musically gifted the Filipinos are. Here, you have learned the passion of Filipinos with regard to music, because even though there were not enough resources and music materials, the musicians were able to play their instruments and pass their knowledge to the younger generations. That is why today, there are many rondalla groups formed and existing all over the country.

Today you are going to learn the other side of our Filipino culture, our religious side. Is this different from the happy and light side of being a Filipino? What songs are we going to learn? Are the musical elements in religious music different from the folk songs? Will there be new musical instruments to be introduced? Is it really different from the culture that we used to know and experience? Well, those might be the questions that are starting to build in your minds. Together, let us explore this area of our nationality and acquire a deep cultural experience through different activities in this module.

Learning Objectives

In this module, you will be able to:

A. identify the different characteristics of liturgy and liturgical music B. distinguish different musical elements embedded in liturgical music C. analyze the different liturgical music in relation to the different musical

elements D. perform a liturgical song in your own church

What’s New

Let us analyze the picture.

Are you familiar with the scene being portrayed in the drawing? 1. What is the scene all about? 2. Can you cite an experience relative to the picture shown? Please write your

experience. 3. How would you describe your experience inside a church? 4. Is there any music heard inside a church? How does it differ from the usual

music that you always hear? 5. If you are not familiar with the scene in the drawing, what is your

first impression of the scene? Now let us analyze the next drawing.

1. What is the picture all about? 2. How does it differ from the first picture? 3. Are there similarities between the first and the second picture? What are

those? 4. What kind of background sound or music can be played or can be heard from

the first picture? What about for the second picture?

What is It

In Asia, the Philippines is the only Christian nation, in which majority of the population are Roman Catholics and the remaining part of population belong to various Christian and Protestant denominations. Obviously, that is the result of more than 300 years of Spanish colonization in our country. Our deep faith in God is very much seen in our culture and tradition. Music, for example, can be heard in all

religious celebrations throughout the country.

Today’s module will focus on the music that is used in liturgical celebrations, that is Liturgical music. But before we explore the music, let us first know what liturgy is.

1. How did you come up with this kind of grouping? 2. What common factors did you notice in the pictures in group 1and 2? 3. Which group do you think has more Spanish influence? Why?

According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, a Liturgy is a fixed set of ceremonies

that are used during public worship in a religion. Every religion or sect has its own rites for praising God. These may be in a form of bible sharing, testimonies, singing, dancing, and chanting. Our discussion will dwell more on the Roman Catholic religion’s liturgy, since majority of our country’s population are baptized in this religion.

For the Catholics, liturgy is about God’s saving work present in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, and the highlight of these three is the celebration of the Holy Mass wherein the priest is the main celebrant. The Holy Mass is the highest form of liturgy with which the body and blood of Christ is the center of the whole celebration. Liturgy is a ritual prayer of a community and each member takes part in the celebration. And this is where Liturgical Music comes in.

The first type of liturgical music that Filipinos learned from the Spaniards was in Latin. During the Liturgy, they sang Gregorian Chants, hymns and all forms of sacred music in Latin. Gradually, aside from singing, Spaniards taught the natives to play musical instruments like guitar, violin, flute and the organ. Later on, the music in different churches blossomed - in 1857, a boys’ choir was formed in Sto. Domingo Dominican convent and later a pipe organ was installed. In 1601, the first orchestra was formed in the Augustinian convent in Guadalupe, in 1643, the Manila Orchestra was organized by a priest, between 1816 - 1824, the famous Bamboo Organ was built. In 1870, Marcelo Adonay, the first native Filipino to compose a mass, led an orchestra which was formed at San Agustine Church in Intramuros.

Because the natives wanted a liturgy that they can understand aside from the

Latin liturgical celebrations in churches, extra liturgical services outside the churches evolved. The Panuluyan,Pabasa, Salubong and other forms of devotions were sang in Spanish and in their native tongue. Let Us Feel the Presence of Our Creator

In 1903, Pope Pius X encouraged the participation of the congregation in the

celebration of the Liturgy. This led to the use of local language in Churches, like what we have today. The community is also encouraged to have an active participation in every liturgical celebration, either by singing, responses or gestures. There are specific persons who play an important role in the liturgy. They are called music ministers. They have the responsibility of ensuring that the music is appropriate to the liturgy. But what are the criteria for choosing music? According to the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy (CSL, 1963), one of the key documents of Vatican II, the basic criteria for sacred music are:

1. Sacred music will be more holy, the more closely it is bound to the liturgical rite

2. The active participation of the faithful in singing is of great value 3. Gregorian chant has pride of place, but other music is admitted as long as it

is in accordance with the spirit of the liturgical service; 4. Texts must always be consistent with Catholic teaching, and be drawn chiefly

from scriptural and liturgical sources.

During the celebration of a Holy Mass, there are certain parts that need to be sung by the community. The following are parts of the Holy Mass with which the community must sing. The most important parts are marked with (*) and are normally sung at every mass celebration.
