You're a choir and you wanna impress the world or win a global choral competition? Perform Filipino folk or classic contemporary songs.. The beautiful melody and its colorful SATB harmony arrangements are musically dramatic and full of dynamics and texture. That is for sure!

The Pilipino local folk songs have an inherently gymnastic of voices , its rhythm symbolizes Filipino struggles in life, and the music melodies ooze the native's temperament.

Am having goose bumps while watching these foreign chorale groups sing my own native Tagalog and Visayas song. Their pronunciation, the melody is perfect. My only suggestion is for everyone to SMILE more while singing these songs. These are happy songs, depicting the basic/simple everyday native Filipino lives about love, courtship, respect for one another, helping each other during harvest time...just to give foreigners an idea of what these songs are all about. Overall, the performances are superb! You all give justice to our songs. Very well executed!

I agree. However, the sopranos "mispronounced" GINIKANAN (parents); the syllable KA should have two notes, but otherwise, superb performance.

I can almost visualize the fluttering of wings from butterflies and dragon flies I loved to watch in my earlier years. In my first job, I was assigned to the island of Cebu in the late 70s.I cannot remember the town but will never forget a particular experience when our trip along a hillside or a mountain side was halted when the light was literally blocked by thousands if not millions of butterflies that appeared out of nowhere!

I was a choir member way back in high school and joined several competitions. We learned English, Italian, Spanish, and other foreign songs. However, I personally thought that Tagalog and Cebuano/Bisaya folk songs were just the best! I just thought it was because we speak and understand both Filipino languages - but actually the arrangement, the style, the over musicality are fun and sometimes funny too!
