1. LESSON PROPER

Our lesson for today is about the characteristics of


the South Vocal Music of Muslim Filipinos.

Historians say that there are evidences of early


settlers in the southern part of the country as early as
prehistoric times. Arab traders from Malaysia and
Indonesia came in contact with the natives with their
products, culture and religion. In 1280, the first
Muslim community in the Philippines was During discussion, the students
established in Sulu by Tuan Masha’ika. will participate in the class.
(reading slides, answer the
Islamic Music in general is characterized by delicate questions)
patterns of melody and rhythm. To the Muslims,
music is a vertical connection to Allah. That is why
the Quran must be recited in a singing-like manner.
In Islamic music, the vocal aspect must overmaster
the instrumental. It is based on the skill of the artist
which is given the freedom to improvise the piece.

One of the literary art forms of our Muslim brothers


and sisters are their epics. Epics are long, narrative
poems telling about heroic deeds of significant
characters. In Muslim culture in Mindanao, the epics
may be narrated in a form of a poem or song.

The Darangen is an epic song about Maranao


people. It is a mixture of both Islamic and non-
Islamic way of life and is the cultural foundation on
their community. The epic deals not only about
relationships and adventures but also ancestral
political laws like kingship and succession.

I have here an video clip of the Darangen epic song.


Let’s watch, listen, and reflect to it. (The students will watch and
Link: https://youtu.be/ROqbx9VptlA listen)

What did you noticed about the video clip that you
heard?

What else did you noticed? The students will answer based
on their own opinion.
This epic means “to narrate in song”. The performers
should have a creative and imaginative mind. They
should also have a clear and good voice to sing it
well.

The Tausug has vocal music and it is called the


“Palangan”. It can be categorized into narrative and
lyrical songs.

Narrative songs tell a story that includes the “Kissa”


or epic legends. Let’s watch and listen to the video
clip. (The students will watch and
Link: https://youtu.be/2UA-2f1- listen.)
URU?si=a_0uOuwML9Z758xO

Again, what did you noticed about the video clip? The students will answer based
on their own opinion.
Lyrics songs are sub-categorized into Lugu and
Paggabang types. The Lugu is a religious chant
usually done by women. This song is related to
Muslim rituals like wedding, funeral, birth, and the
paggunting which is the traditional cutting of an
infant boy’s hair during baptism.

Let’s watch and listen to the video clip. (the students will watch and

What did you noticed about the video clip?

The student will answer based on


What else? their opinion.

Paggabang are songs accompanied by a bamboo


xylophone or a violin. These songs are less serious
in nature.

(Picture of xylophone or a violin used in this song)

This consists of the “langan bata-bata” or


children’s song and the “Baat” or occupational
song.

Let’s listen to audio clip from the music of “Langan


Bata-bata”. (the students will listen)

What did you noticed about the music? The students will answer based
on their own opinion.
Another form of vocal music is the “Sindil”. It is
their local version of “Balagtasan”. It includes a
man and a women exchanging ideas for a certain
topic. It is usually done in weddings.

Let’s listen to an audio clip from the music of (the students will listen)
“Sindil”.

What did you noticed about the audio clip? The students will answer based
on their own opinion.
These are some of the vocal music that Mindanao
has to offer. All of these songs, regardless of its
origin, have common characteristics.

1. Melismatic style of singing – Melisma


means a group of notes sung in one
syllable of the text.

To further understand this, let us listen a singer who


is called as the Queen of Melisma, Jojo.

What did you noticed about the music? The students will answer based
on their own opinion.
2. Use of Tremolo – Tremolo is the process
of producing a shaky sound of notes.

3. Long and slow melodic phrase –


Compared to a regular song which has a
fixed meter or number of syllables per
stanza, Muslim vocal music has an
indefinite length of lines. It results from
the singer’s improvisation of the tune of
the songs.

4. Strained or throaty voice – Their style


of singing features a singer using the
speaking voice to execute the song.

5. Free rhythm – The vocal music of


Mindanao has no fixed measure. It is
because of the singer’s freedom to
improvise the piece. Therefore, a listener
cannot predict the length of each line per
song.
