    PBA TITLE: CRITIQUE PAPER

    "Sa Kabukiran" was originally written for soprano and was first introduced in Cebu in 1928. Its
    lively and happy melody reflects life in the countryside or farmlands. It was composed by
    Manuel Velez for the theater play about a young mountain girl. Originally written in Visayan
    (Cebuano), it was later translated to other dialects/languages like Tagalog by L. Celerio, Ilonggo
    by F. Zaragosa, Ilocano by L. Pichay, English by J. Climaco and Spanish by J. Gavira. Movie
    personalities at that time (Lilian Velez, Elsa Oria and Nora Hermosa) performed the song. It was
    also sung by Sylvia La Torre, who was a conservatory-trained soprano and who has an illustrious
    career in Philippine cinema and television.

    I consider the song "Sa Kabukiran" one of our folk songs. It has a simple melody, with the verses
    written in stanzas, like in a poem, and in narrative form. The song has a simple harmony and
    lyrics. It describes the simple life of the people in the countryside. The words portray a plain and
    unsophisticated way of life, one that brings joy and comfort to the heart. During the singing of
    the song, some of the lines were repeated, making it easier to remember the lyrics. I noticed,
    however, that it was sung with very high notes, like in an opera. It was actually the first thing
    that I noticed upon hearing it. I always thought that folk songs have low notes and sung in a
    relaxed and easy voice. This is the first time I heard one sung like it.

    While listening to the song, I realized that I was not really listening to it. I should be
    concentrating on the song and learning to appreciate it. After about three replays, I finally
    understood why. I was just hearing the song, but I wasn't really understanding the lessons it was
    telling me. The song title itself sounded boring - I thought it will all be about living in the
    province and showing how to plant crops; instead it is an enjoyable song, with values referred to,
    one just have to listen with an open heart and open mind.

    I find the song "Sa Kabukiran" unique, compared to current Filipino songs. It tells the listeners
    about life in the barrio, specifically the farm. For me, the lesson I learned is: "Living in the
    province is easier and provides happiness in its simple ways." But of course, all of us can learn a
    different lesson because we all have different points of view.
