National, patriotic, and typical airs of all lands by John Philip Sousa, Director United States Marine Band, by authority of the Secretary of the Navy. ANG (THE) PANDANGUBAN. Introduction. Con brio. From the Spanish Fandango. ANG BAYUHAN, Calmatto. Tune sung while hulling rice. AUIT. Narrative story in music. Love song, but more pathetic than the Cundiman. BALINTA. a PASIÓN. Musical rendition of the gospel in Tagalog language. TAGUELAYLAY. A more elaborate and pathetic variation of the Pasión. ZAPATEADO. Spanish dance. BANTAYANUM. a JELE-JELE. Cradle song or lullaby. HOLONA. The second Ang Bayuhan and third airs Ang Palimós of this collection are the favorites. The words are usually in Tagálog and vary according to the circumstances under which the songs are sung, have not been printed in words, but are preserved in music in the originals and in this collection. These represent the typical airs of other races and islands of the archipelago. These tunes are accompanied by the harp or guitar which are native modifications of western instruments. Those used in music not accompanied by the voice are made of bamboo or tin representing reed or brass instruments of western orchestras and are remarkably accurate considering their rude mechanism. There are excellent native bands equipped with modern western instruments. EARTHQUAKES IN THE PHILIPPINES. (Also see Volcanoes, pages 9, 10.)
