The Kundiman

Antonio C. Hila

 

Abstract:

The kundiman evolved from its humble beginning of a folk song to its contemporary status of a stylized art song. Thanks to Filipino top composers who wrote about it continuously, the kundiman is now a dynamic part of the living musical tradition of the nation.
