7-Earth

2. What is a solo?
Solo is a thing done by one person unaccompanied
or perform something unaccompanied, in
particular.

3. What is a choral?
A choral is composed for or sung by a
choir or chorus.

4. Vocal Music Composition
• Musical composition can refer to an original piece of music, the structure
of a musical piece, or the process of creating a new piece of music. People
who practice composition are called composers.
• Composition consists in two things only. The first is the ordering and
disposing of several sounds in such a manner that their succession pleases
the ear. This is what the Ancients called melody. The second is the
rendering audible of two or more simultaneous sounds in such a manner
that their combination is pleasant. This is what we call harmony, and it
alone merits the name of composition.

5. Examples of Solo Choral music
• Sa Ugoy ng Duyan (Lucio San Pedro)
• Payapang Daigdig (Felipe De Leon)

6. Sa Ugoy Ng Duyan
Sana'y di nagmaliw ang dati kong araw
Nang munti pang bata sa piling ni Nanay
Nais kong maulit ang awit ni Inang mahal
Awit ng pag-ibig habang ako'y nasa duyan
Sana'y di nagmaliw ang dati kong araw
Nang munti pang bata sa piling ni Nanay
Nais kong maulit ang awit ni Inang mahal
Awit ng pag-ibig habang ako'y nasa duyan
Refrain:
Sa aking pagtulog na labis ang himbing
Ang bantay ko'y tala, ang tanod ko'y bituin
Sa piling ni Nanay, langit ay buhay
Puso kong may dusa sabik sa ugoy ng duyan

7. Sana'y di nagmaliw ang dati kong araw
Nang munti pang bata sa piling ni Nanay
Nais kong maulit ang awit ni Inang mahal
Awit ng pag-ibig habang ako'y nasa duyan
Sa aking pagtulog na labis ang himbing
Ang bantay ko'y tala, ang tanod ko'y bituin
Sa piling ni Nanay, langit ay buhay
Puso kong may dusa sabik sa ugoy ng duyan
Nais kong matulog sa dating duyan ko, Inay
Oh! Inay

8. Payapang Daigdig
Ang gabi'y payapa
Lahat ay tahimik
Pati mga tala
Sa bughaw na langit
Kay hinhin ng hangin
Waring umiibig
Sa kapayapaan
Ng buong daigdig

9. Payapang panahon
Ay diwa ng buhay
Biyaya ng Diyos
Sa sangkatauhan
Ang gabi'y payapa
Lahat ay tahimik
Pati mga tala
Sa bughaw na langit

18. How are National Artists proclaimed?
• The Order is the highest state honour conferred on individuals deemed as
having done much for their artistic field. Deserving individuals must have
been recommended by both the Cultural Center and the National
Commission on Culture and the Arts prior to receiving the award. Such
people are then titled, by virtue of a Presidential Proclamation, as

Servant of the Arts Award"), and are inducted into the Order.

the President bestows on them the insignia of the Order: an ornate, gilt
Collar and a small pin, both depicting the Order's emblem. In addition to
the Collar, each new Member is given a citation that is presented during
the conferment ceremony. The Cultural Center of the Philippines then
presents a Memorabilia Exhibit of the recipients' works, and holds a Gabi

created by the National Artist Award Committee; experts from the different
art fields then sit on a First Deliberation to prepare the short list of nominees.
A Second Deliberation, which is a joint meeting of the Commissioners of the
