| About the Song: | A timely piece of musical creation, the song upholds Filipino nationalism in music, describing metaphorically the wonderful experience of discovering the gift of song. Emphatically expressed in the chorus, which is endowed with powerful recall, is a feeling of national pride in a homeland's own music. (From the CCP Encyclopedia of Philippine Art, vol. 6, p. 244) |
