LESSON 1. Folk Song in the Lowlands of Luzon

Folk Songs are traditional songs that are preserved through the oral tradition within the communities.
Folk Songs tell much of the culture of a society.
Folk Songs do not have original text, their composers are usually unknown.
Folk songs are sung during different events in the lives of the Filipinos like birthdays, wedding,
festivities, funerals, among others.
In Luzon lowlands, folk songs can be classified into narrative songs, children’s songs, lullabies, nature
songs, love and courtship songs, family songs, humorous songs, work or occupational songs, and
religious songs.

Create new lyrics for the Folk Song Leron-leron Sinta. The lyrics will be written by syllables in the music sheet
below. Write your own Title. Make sure that you know the classification of your written folk song (children
song, lullabies, nature song, love and courtship song, family song, work or occupational song, and religious
song).

LESSON 2: Liturgical and Devotional Music of Luzon

The Filipinos during the Spanish colonial period were so expressive of their faith that they created extra
liturgical practices such as pabasa, senakulo, panngangaluluwa, Santacruzan, moro-moro, Simbang
gabi, panunuluyan, salubong, Moriones, and pastores.
The Roman Catholic Church uses liturgical music for the Holy Eucharist.
There is a wide range of sacred hymns used accordingly by most of the Protestant Churches.

Make research about Pangaluluwa. In the box below, make an illustration of the Pangaluluwa. Explain its
significance to the culture of the Filipinos.

The practice of Pangangaluluwa is folk tradition where people visit houses at night to sing


songs related to All Saints' Day, and All Souls' Day to solicit for gifts. The practice is more common in
the rural areas and is often done by childrenor teenagers.

In the town of Sariaya, Quezon, pangangaluluwa is often observed from October 27 to 28. A


dying tradition in the town, the tradition was revived by the local tourism council in 2005 as an annual
fundraising for the local government's belen festival in December and the development of the local
tourism in general. It was usually held on November 1 according to an account of a resident senior
citizen born in 1920, after families have returned to their houses from their cemetery visits. The
modern practice of pangangaluluwa in Sariaya town involves children dressing in scary costumes like
the Western practice of trick-or-treating.
