There's wrong with the lyrics, "Intawn usab si Dodoy" and "Nagtan-aw si Inday". It should be "Intawn usab si Dodong and Nagtan-aw kang Inday. Nevertheless, it's so nice! Well done!
This arrangement catches beautifully the essence of the song"balitaw" of a maiden
from the mountains( other worldly /mountain fairy?as I was told from long ago) and the soprano executes it superbly. Another folk song -Bicol's SARUNG BANGGI also refers to another such encounter according to experts. We're still waiting for a like arrangement to
bring such elegance to a Sarung Banggi's seeming supplication to Mama Mary.
The way this song was performed by this choir made me cry a little because they did it as if they were Filipinos !!! The tempo was the way it was written by the composer. Beautifully executed. Could hardly believe this song had been performed by choirs from Russia, Korea, Indonesia, Denmark, Hong kong, American, Spain and of course Filipinos here in YouTube. Wow ! Makes me feel proud being a Pinoy. Mabuhay tayong lahat ! Maraming Salamat. (Thank You Very Much!)
Sung in Visayan about the beautiful maiden Rosas Pandan. Translation: Here I am Rosas Pandan, coming from the mountains to be with all of you to celebrate this festivity. This "Balitaw" is my only offering, the only legacy from my forefathers. A song that is ancient, the pride of our mountains. Here is my "Balitaw" as I dance beautifully to it. It's as cool as the morning dew, hopping like crazy! Oh, the poor guy as he watches the young maiden he's drooling with excitement!
Wonderful performance! The blending of the different voices is superb. Diction is very good, aside from the aspirated "T" sound. The tempo stayed constant, and wasn't too fast. I like the solo soprano part. I just wished I could have heard the arpeggios a bit more, but it's probably just because of the video/audio. Hope the kids had fun.
I am so proud of you all! Chamber Choir at BHS really changed my life. Mr. Hicks is truly an amazing and talented director. Enjoy the time you have with him and enjoy the music that you all make together. When I was in Chamber Choir in '08 and '09, it went by so fast. I loved every minute of it. From the friends to the beautiful music we made together. It touches your heart to know that other people share the same passion as you. You all are SO talented and deserve to be heard! This is AMAZING!

@TheSamanthaCorner Sorry about the copy and paste. The Samantha corner one is my character page. My name is Lauren Dickinson. Just thought I would clear that up. Since I couldn't delete it, I had to copy it.
I noticed that you had a video on Hard Times from last year. I was the soloist. I was very blessed to be able to sing with so many talented singers. I truly miss it.
I love it. The only reason I know you guys are not Filipino is the way you pronounce the letter "T". But dont change it I like the way it is, for some reason it adds more to your performance.

Hard to believe this is a high school group, isn't it. The kids are top notch in all respects, behavior, dedication, and personality.
