Celebrating its 50th anniversary in a night of music, NAMCYA continues to hold music competitions aimed at discovering young musicians. For some groups, it can be their ticket to the world stage.
So read the presidential proclamation that first set up the National Competitions for Young Artists . And 50 years later – in a night humming with the voice of young talent – the NAMCYA’s anniversary concert proved it.
The choir then made use of the stage while performing “Rumbling”. As the name might suggest, the song inventively combined the children’s voices with plenty of stomping, clapping, snapping, and animal sounds. Ending their segment, the choir from the Ilocos region paid homage to their roots by singing and dancing to “Pamulinawen,” an Ilocano folk song.The Balon Dagupan Children’s Choir, hailing from Pangasinan, sings ‘Kyrie’ and ‘Gloria.’ Ayala Museum.
Taldo is no stranger to the competition. The gray-haired director – hailed as a legend by her peers – has spent decades building up the choir from Bohol, which became the first formally organized children’s choir in Loboc in 1980. She painted the scene for us: Both the choir and Gardy, who traces his roots to the island province, were there for the celebrations surrounding the Baclayon Church, the oldest Christian settlement in Bohol. Led perhaps by luck – or fate – Gardy approached the children. After learning that they had just come off a championship, he asked if he could hear them sing.
“They have their classmates, they’re in Loboc, and they’re doing nothing except going to school. This is extra activity for them. From school, they go directly to our rehearsal from 5 pm to 7 pm,” Taldo said. “At that time, there were no children’s choirs in grade school. There was no tradition on that,” said Elena Rivera Mirano, the current director emeritus of the choir and the daughter of the elder Rivera. “Seeing choirs from Taiwan in 1970, my mother endeavored to start something similar in the Philippines, saying ‘we have to find out what children can do.’”
Mirano said that these kinds of stories were not uncommon, nor were they amiss. After all, being part of a children’s choir did not necessarily mean you spent your life in music. It could be a fleeting, yet formative, moment. In its more than 50-year history, UP Cherubim and Seraphim has produced a long list of alumni: an earthquake engineer, a museum director, doctors, and college deans – besides, of course, professional musicians.
