The first cultural history of the Philippines during the twentieth
century, Musical Renderings of the Philippine Nation focuses on the
relationships between music, performance, and ideologies of nation.
Spanning the hundred years from the Filipino-American War to the
1998 Centennial celebration of the nation's independence from
Spain, the book has added emphasis on the period after World War
II. Author Christi-Anne Castro describes the narratives of nation
embedded in several major musical genres, such as classical music
and folkloric song and dance, and enacted by the most well-known
performers of the country, including Bayanihan, The Philippine
National Dance Company and the Philippine Madrigal Singers. Castro
delves into the ideas and works of prominent native composers, from
the popular art music of Francisco Santiago and Lucio San Pedro to
the People Power anthem of 1986 by Jim Paredes of the group Apo
Hiking Society. Through both archival research and ethnographic
fieldwork, Castro reveals how individuals and groups negotiate with
and contest the power of the state to define the nation as a modern
and hybrid entity within a global community.
