A Short Pinoy Christmas Song

11/25/2011

2 Comments

 
"Ang Ating Pasko" is a short song I wrote last year.  It's so short that it doesn't even reach the 1.5 minute mark.  And so it's been a pleasant surprise to me that some choristers have been asking if they could get hold of its sheet music so they could sing it.

The song opens the album of the same title, a Chrismtas CD by the Ateneo Chamber Singers released last year.  I remember how we were working on the album and realized we didn't have an album title yet.  We tried choosing among the songs we had, but none of them really summed up what the album was about.  "Ang Ating Pasko" seemed the most appropriate title because it was a collection of Filipino Christmas songs but more specifically, songs written and arranged by people in the Ateneo community.  My friend Niner De Pano, the album's overall producer, told me to come up with a short song that would serve as the album's opening or prelude (much like the cuts in The Carpenters' Christmas Portrait album) and this is the song I came up with.  Fellow-Atenean Marvin Querido did the instrumental arrangement and I did the vocal arrangement, and I must say I'm happy with how it came out.

Since I don't own the rights to the recording, I can't sell it nor its accompaniment track but if any of you would like to get hold of the sheet music, you can download it from here: http://www.greatsongstosing.com/ang-ating-pasko.html - and you can listen to the song as well by clicking on the video link or watching it here: 

Enjoy and an early Christmas greeting to you all!
