Lesson

5-8

Improvises Simple Rhythmic or Melodic Accompaniments to Selected Music from the Lowlands of Luzon

In other places in the Philippines, people use improvised instruments/ accompaniments to their different musical forms especially in selected music from the Lowlands of Luzon.

What’s In

To fully understand this topic let us first know the difference between Brass Band

instruments and Pangkat Kawayan Instruments used from the Lowlands of Luzon.

• Brass Band Instruments

Is an ensemble of woodwind, brass, and percussion instruments. In the

Philippines, they are usually played in fiestas, religious, and civic celebrations. His/her

repertoire may include folk songs, popular music, and dance music, among others.

Examples are:

1. Clarinet- that has a single-reed mouthpiece and a straight cylindrical

tube with cylindrical bore, and a flared bell.

2. Flute- an aerophone that produces sound from the flow of air across an

opening. This is a known instrument.

3. Piccolo- shorter than flute and the sounds it produces is thinner than

the flute.

4. Tenor Saxophone- a medium-sized member of the saxophone family.

• Pangkat Kawayan Instruments

It is popularly known as the “Singing Bamboos of the Philippines,” is an orchestra

that plays music using non-traditional bamboo instruments. Preferably, all instruments

are made of bamboos.

Examples are:

1. Angklung- a bamboo-rattle tubes attached to a bamboo frame and the

tubes are carved to have a resonant pitch when struck, each angklung

represents a note and is tuned to octaves.

8

2. Pan Pipes- small pieces of bamboo in graduated small tubes that has

been put together by a string

3. Bumbong- it is made of hollow pieces of bamboo that has been put

together and serves as the orchestra’s wind section.

4. Talunggating- made from bamboo that follows the musical scale and

style of the typical xylophone.

After knowing the different instruments, answer the following:

1. What is the difference between the Brass Band Instruments and Pangkat Kawayan

Instruments? Cite the difference?

2. What group of instruments is more improvised? Why? Give your opinion.

3. Which of the group is more melodic/ rhythmic? Give your opinion.

4. What do you think is the reason of using different improvising accompaniments?

5. If you are to choose between the two groups of instruments, which is easier to

use?

Notes to the Teacher

You can also give more examples of improvise simple

rhythmic/ melodic accompaniments to fully understand the different

instruments of the music from the Lowland of Luzon. You can also

give a task to make an improvise accompaniments.

What’s New

Melodic/Rhythmic Defined

A melody, also a tune, voice, or line, is a linear succession of musical tones that

the listener perceives as a single entity. In its most literal sense, a melody is a

combination of pitch and rhythm, while more figuratively, the term can include

successions of other musical elements such as tonal color.

While Rhythm generally means a “movement marked by the regulated succession

of strong and weak elements, or of opposite or different conditions. This general meaning

of regular recurrence or pattern in time can be applied to a wide variety of cyclical natural

phenomena having a periodicity or frequency of anything from microseconds to several

seconds; to several minutes or hours, or, at the most extreme, even over many years.

Rhythm may be defined as the way in which one or more unaccented beats are

grouped into one. A rhythmic group can be apprehended only when its elements are

distinguished from one another, rhythm…always involves interrelationship between a

single, accented (strong) beat and either one or two unaccented (weak) beats.

What is It

Improvises Simple Rhythmic or Melodic Accompaniments to Selected

Music from the Lowlands of Luzon

Now that you have seen the picture of simple rhythmic/melodic accompaniments,

here are the improvised accompaniments used to selected music from the Lowlands of

Luzon.

Angklung - Bamboo-rattle tubes attached to a bamboo frame.

- tubes are carved to have a resonant pitch when struck, each

angklung represents a note and is tuned to octaves.

- plays the counterpoints to the melody.

- played by shaking the lower part with one hand while the upper

end holding it with the other hand steady.

Bumbong (bamboo tube) - made of hollow pieces of bamboo that has been put

10

together and serve as the orchestra’s wind section.

- divided into bass (lower) and horn (higher) sections.

- each bumbong represents one note;

- to produce the sound, it has to be blown through a mouthpiece

Kalatok (bamboo knocker) - a percussion instrument made of bamboos that

are strung together with pieces of bamboo with varying tones when

struck by a rubber mallet.

Talunggating (bamboo marimba) – made from bamboo that follows the

musical scale and style of the typical xylophone.

- it plays the melody.

- mallets made out of rattan and rubber are used to play the

instrument.

-

Kalagong – wind instrument that produces a hollow gong-like sound.

- played by tapping the top wholes of the bamboos by two flat and

flexible surface tappers.

- it serves as bass of the group.

Pan Pipes - small pieces of bamboo in graduated small tubes that has been put

together by a string.

- the sound and styling of the wind instruments found in Northern

Philippines.

- each pipe represents a note and is blown to produce the sound.

Tulali(bamboo flute) – made of baga (one of the smallest bamboo varieties).

- a bamboo opening encircled by a banana leafing to a pentatonic

scale played on four holes, one found below and three on top of the

bamboo tube.

Kiskis – a bamboo piece with ridges and serves as a percussion instrument.

- Kiskisis a Filipino word which means “to scratch” or “to rub against

something”.

- It is played by rubbing a rattan stick on its ridges.
