| About the Song: | Based on the folk song "Kundiman de 1800," this song is popularly known as "Kundiman ni Abdon" (Abdon being the writer of the three-part piece). It was written for the Russian cellist and conductor, Bogumil Sykora, who wanted to conduct a Filipino piece for his concert for the Asociacion Musical de Filipinas. A song about love for the country, it was turned into a protest song entitled "Mutya" in the 1980s. (From the CCP Encyclopedia of Philippine Art, vol. 6, p. 244-245) |
