    SHORT ANALYSIS:
    Pangkat Kawayan
    The “Pangkat Kawayan,” otherwise known as the “Singing Bamboo of the
    Philippines,” is a unique orchestra that drew music from unconventional bamboo
    instruments. It is the only tuned-up “Musikong Bumbong” in the country today, and
    indigenous to our country. This orchestra is composed of musically talented students
    from the elementary and high schools mostly in Quezon City whose ages ranged from 8
    to 19 years.

    The orchestra was managed by Victor O. Toledo, conductor and musical Director.
    The same group has led the orchestra through the years since September 6, 1966 when it
    was founded through the initiative of Ms. Laura L. Gorospe, then principal of the
    school to revive and revitalize an almost dying musical institution, to arouse in the
    Filipino people love for music that are inherently Filipino, and to develop and utilize the
    musical talents of the youth and encourage the worthy use of leisure hours.

    As I listened to one performance of Pangkat Kawayan, I noticed that most of the


    instruments they used are made from half a dozen genera of versatile bamboo which
    come in various sizes, shapes and designs, probably the reason why they are called
    Pangkat Kawayan. Completing the ensemble and adding flavor and rhythm to the music
    of the orchestra are the non-bamboo instruments like the cymbals, bass and snare drums,
    gong, triangle and the Kulintang. The various music produced by Pangkat Kawayan were
    very harmonized and pleasing to the ears.

    Rondalla, Philippine Marching Band


    The Rondalla is performed on ensembles comprised of mandolin instruments of
    various sizes called bandurria, composed on the Iberian tradition. The Philippine
    Rondalla, which is of Spanish origin, also employed other instruments such as guitars.
    The Rondalla is an ensemble of stringed instruments played with a plectrum or
    pick, and generally known as plectrum instruments. It originated in medieval Spain,
    especially in Aragon, Murcia, and Valencia. The tradition was later taken to Spanish
    America and elsewhere.

    The word Rondalla is from the Spanish ronda, meaning “serenade.” One of the
    famous rondallas in the Philippines is Pangya Philippine Normal University Rondalla and
    Angklung Ensemble.

    Rondalla music is very catchy because it is synchronized and harmonized. The


    music produced by the instruments is enjoyable. Also, the musical instruments used in
    Rondalla all have strings.

    COMPARE AND CONTRAST:


    Rondalla is an ensemble of string instruments. The Rondalla instruments included
    the banduria, laud, octavina, guitar, and string bass. Pangkat kawayan, on the other hand,
    is a big ensemble known for using non-traditional bamboo instruments such as bumbong,
    kalatok, talunggating, and angklung.
    The similarities between Rondalla and Pangkat Kawayan is that they both have
    the same forte, mostly folksongs from various regions of the country. Noted, too, are that
    both group's repertoire also included folk melodies from other countries, modern and
    popular music and some light classics.
