    SUMMARY

    With the European and American influences brought by our colonizers, it was inevitable that
    the musical styles of 20th century Western composers found their way into Philippine
    compositions.
    Francisco Buencamino founded the Centro Escolar de Señoritas, Conservatory of Music.
    He also created the Buencamino Music Academy in 1930. Nicanor Abelardo was one of his
    students. Expanding his career, Buencamino also ventured into musical direction and scoring,
    composing music for Sampaguita Pictures, LVN, and Excelsior. He also wrote several
    zarzuelas and kundiman. Francisco Santiago is known as the “Father of the Kundiman” and
    belongs to the “Triumvirate of Filipino Composers.”
    Nicanor Abelardo developed a style that combined European romanticism with
    chromaticism. He belongs to the “Triumvirate of Filipino Composers” together with Francisco
    Santiago and Antonio Molina. The Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo (Main Theater) of the
    Cultural Center of the Philippines and the Abelardo Hall of the College of Music, University of
    the Philippines are named after him.
    Antonio Molina came to be known as the “Father of Philippine Impressionist Music,” while
    composer Lucio San Pedro integrated indigenous musical forms, conventions, and
    instruments in his works in the modern nationalistic style.
    Hilarion Rubio was a Filipino composer, music teacher, conductor, and clarinetist. His
    name was closely identified with his works for the orchestra, conductor for opera, ballet,
    dance recitals, and music for movies. Col. Antonino Buenaventura promoted Philippine
    music by extensively using folk materials in his works. He recorded folk and dance music
    around the country with Ramon Tolentino and National Artist for Dance Francisca Reyes
    Aquino. Buenaventura composed the music and did the notations for the folk dances as
    researched by Aquino.
    Rodolfo S. Cornejo was considered “the first Filipino composer who received an honory
    degree from a government recognized music school in the United States.” He was known for
    his “pianistic and compositional talent” by extemporizing a piano composition at the spur of
    the moment.
    Felipe P. de Leon wrote piano compositions, hymns, marches, art
    songs, chamber music, symphonic poems, overtures, band muic, school songs, orchestral
    works, operas, kundimans and zarsuelas. He was known as a nationalist composer who
    expressed the Philippines' cultural identity through his compositions.
    Lucio San Pedro is known as a “romantic nationalist.” He incorporated Philippine folk
    elements in his compositions with Western forms and harmony. His chords have a rich
    expressive tonality, as represented in his well-loved Sa Ugoy ng Duyan, a lullaby melody
    sung by his mother. Rosendo Santos Jr. is listed in the “New Groves Dictionary of Music and
    Musicians.” A prolific composer, his works include concerti, sonatas, symphonies, symphonic
    poems, five operas in Philippine dialect, numerous band overtures, and more than 200
    marches. He wrote 50 masses in Latin and 20 in English. He has more than 1,000 musical
    compositions in the library of the University of the Philippines.
    Alfredo Buenaventura is among the few composers in the Philippines who composed
    five full-length operas. He has his own set of ideas about music and composition. He
    created a combination of contemporary and conventional, kept his melodies simple and
    understandable, but he used contemporary harmonies to suit the intellectuals.
    Contemporary composer and conductor Ryan Cayabyab spans both popular and classical
    worlds with his pop, ballads, operas, zarzuela, orchestral, and choral compositions.
