2. ----------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION When we are listening to the radios, watching drama plays, listening to music, we commonly hear some authentic sounds of a horse running, water falling, rain dropping or anything around us, but actually, these sounds are produced by different musical instruments. One of the best examples is in the film IbongAdarna. Most of the part of the story shows the bird singing, another part is in the water, you will hear running waters. Those you thought authentic sounds mean something in music. This means that, sounds you hear from people, animals or anything around you can be showed through instruments or human voice.
