MSU-IIT Octava Choral Society - Mamayug Akun

[saino36]

congratulations sir frank! miss you na! busy na ka.

@diamondredphil You may have heard the more popular arrangement of Fabian Obispo, Jr. arranged for the U.P. Madrigal Singers. This was meant to be a choral fugue based on the melody of Mamayog Akun. A fugue is a Western concept of playing with small melodic fragments to make the piece more interesting. The intention of the arranger was to create a fusion of Western technique with Asian material.

congratulations octava! it's an honor to be the msu-iit's resident chorale group..

mamayug akun is such a nice song! (oh my darling)

i know that song.. i've been with the theatre arts when i was in high school.. under sir eamon flem doplon (also an octava member) thnx!

I mean, Maranao song ang Mamayug Akun.... Tapos naka-Higaunon costume.... Don't get me wrong, I know what the Maranao and Higaunon folks are wearing...

[oblivionIIT]

Yes, I also knew how the former differs from the latter. Thanks for the comment c",b

[kurims81]

the song and the choreography are very much well - crafted... Bakit naman Higaunon ang suot ninyong mga damit? Pumunta pa naman kayo ng Malaysia... Naman!!!!

[oblivionIIT]

Actually, mamayug akun is just a part of the songs of the tri-people of mindanao - the ethnic suite portion of the cultural show.

Yes, the dress is Higaunon and why is this so? Because prior to this song are mostly Higaunon songs.

[oblivionIIT]

Pardon us if you were a little bit confused with the costume used. They don't have much time to change costumes from time to time. The ethnic songs are all sung simultaneously. One song to the other.

Don't worry we understand your reaction. It is ok for you, yourself, were not there to witness the event. c",b

actually, Mr. Magsasaka1960, I asked our choir director regarding this versions authenticity and he replied that this version is the full text of Mamayug Akun. This arrangement is by Helen Tejero and our very own choir director/conductor, Prof. Francisco Englis. Thanks for watching this video.

Wow! This is a great song.... Go Octava, Go!!!

MSU-IIT has a great choral ensemble. Their rendition of "Tinig ng Lupa" won 1st prize at the Nat'l Choral Competion in 1977. We won the all-male high school category on the same day and at the same venue. The songs had to be sung 2X; the 2nd rendition had choreography. We were all at awe when we heard the MSU choir. Their performance was both musically and visually astounding. The audience was chanting "MSU! MSU!" when Imee Marcos was about to announce the 1st prize for the collegiate division.

Is this the authentic version of this song? I normally hear this song rendered at a much faster tempo with very heavy thumping. I really love this rendition of the song.
