Using the Venn Diagram, compare and contrast Harana from Kundiman.
HARANA KUNDIMAN

But make no mistake, harana and kundiman are stylistically different.
Whereas harana is in 2/4/ time, kundiman is in 3/4. In fact, the word kundiman is said
to be the contraction of the phrase “kung hindi man” (if not, or if not meant to be).
Subsequently, question is, what is the meaning of harana? Harana was a traditional

form of courtship in the Philippines wherein men introduced themselves and/or wooed
women by singing underneath her window at night. It was widely practiced in old
Philippines with a set of protocols, a code of conduct and a specific style of music.
Also, what Kundiman means?
Kundiman is a genre of traditional Filipino love songs. The lyrics of the Kundiman are

written in Tagalog. The melody is characterized by a smooth, flowing and gentle rhythm
with dramatic intervals. Kundiman was the traditional means of serenade in the
Philippines.
What is harana example?
The most common instance that sets a harana in motion is the arrival of a woman from
a big city (like Manila) who is in the province for a vacation. Like Pavlovian dogs, men
were conditioned to organize and bring out their guitars upon getting a glimpse of a
beautiful new arrival.

3 Things that I learned today about the instrumental music of Luzon.
a. Music instruments, mechanisms that produce sounds, have been used for various purposes. In earlier times
they were also used as an adjunct to dance or to labor. In later civilizations, instrumental music was used
for entertainment.

b. The playing of instrumental music affects the academic and cognitive abilities of students. It has been
shown in numerous studies that music helps raise test scores and student performance in school, especially
in the math and sciences.

c. It provides a readily accessible avenue to the study of other cultures. Music uses one of the most powerful
and complex symbol systems in existence, which can be used for the development of critical thinking skills
in all students. Music helps students with the aspects of life that cannot be quantified.

2 Things I found interesting about the instrumental music of Luzon.
a. ANKLUNG ENSEMBLE is a bamboo instrument originated from Indonesia. It consists of 2 or more bamboo
tubes tuned in octaves. It is hung from a frame above a slotted resonated tube. The way to play the
instrument is by shaking the body to produce one pitch. A number of Anklung instrument is needed to
pay the melody. One Anklung is assigned to one pitch only.

b. PANGKAT KAWAYAN is a bamboo orchestra popularly known as the “Singing Bamboo of the Philippines.
It uses nontraditional bamboo instruments in more than a hundred various sizes, shapes, and designs.

1 Question I still have about the instrumental music of Luzon.
a. How did they come up of finding out and how useful about those instrumental music of Luzon?

Kundiman aims to create a space where those histories, personal and

collective, are respected and discussed. History and experience are not
separate from writing, but inform the writer's unique voice. Kundiman
believes that out of those difficult stories can come healing, beauty,
humor, and transcendence.
I can show my appreciation in Kundiman, by singing it sometimes

because it shows that the singer expresses undying love for his beloved
is actually singing for love of country. I will convince my fellow filipino
students to sing it wholeheartedly and I can influence them by
introducing such types of music vividly and nicely.
Reflecting on my rondalla performance, what musical feelings, impression, or memories come to my mind?
Music for me has the ability to evoke powerful emotional responses such as chills and thrills while listening. Positive
emotions dominate musical experiences. Listening to music is an easy way to alter my mood or relieve my stress. I
use music in my everyday life to regulate, enhance, and diminish undesirable emotional states such as stress and
fatigue. Listening to music produce emotions and pleasure in listeners such as musical pleasure, mood regulation,
time perception and identity development.
every
I find enjoyable singing Leron Leron Sinta with the accompaniment of my piano because
performance for me is always special to practice every day is such an effort
and needed to be enjoyed even if people will not be satisfied. The piece
Leron, Leron sinta or "My Dear, Little Leron," is especial because it is a popular Filipino folk song from the Tagalog
region. It is traditionally a work song, representing those who work in the fields harvesting fruits. It is fast and lively
music that made me happy and the piano chords are easy to play.
