- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- Francisco Beltran Buencamino was born on November 5, 1883 in San Miguel de Mayumo, Bulacan. He is the sixth of ten children of Fortunato Buencamino and Luisa Beltran. His father was a church organist and band master, and his mother, a singer. Francisco was married to Pilar Luceno and they had two children, both of whom also took up music.
Francisco first learnt music from his father. At age 12, he could play the organ. At 14, he was sent to study at Liceo de Manila. There, he took up courses in composition and harmony under Marcelo Adonay. He also took up pianoforte courses under a Spanish music teacher. He did not finish his education as he became interested in the sarswela.
In the early 1900s, Francisco taught music at the Ateneo de Manila and at the Centro Escolar de Senoritas. At the latter, he founded the Conservatory of Music and was its head until 1938. At the same time, he also handled music lessons at Liceo de Manila. He founded the Buencamino Music Academy in 1930, and was authorized by the Department of Public Instruction to grant music degrees. Some of his pupils were Nicanor Abelardo, Ernestina Crisologo, Estela Velasco, Beatrice Alba, and Amelia Hidalgo. In the 1940s, he started working as a musical director. He also composed music for films produced by Sampaguita Pictures, LVN and Excelsior. For a time, he also frequently acted on stage. He also collaborated on the plays written and produced by Aurelio Tolentino. The Philippine Music Publishers, which Buencamino established, undertook the printing of his more important compositions, but it was not a successful venture.
Some of the sarswelas he wrote are: "Marcela" (1904), "Si Tio Celo" (1904) and "Yayang " (1905). In 1908, the popularity of the sarswela started to wane because of American repression and the entry of silent movies. He then turned to composing kundimans.
One of his earliest compositions is "En el bello Oriente" (1909), which uses Jose Rizal's lyrics. "Ang Una Kong Pag-ibig", a popular kundiman, was inspired by his wife. In 1938, he composed an epic poem which won a prize from the Far Eastern University during one of the annual carnivals. "Ang Larawan" (1943), also one of his most acclaimed works, is a composition based on a Balitaw tune. The orchestral piece, "Pizzicato Caprice" (1948) is a version of this composition. Many of his other compositions were lost during the Japanese Occupation, when he had to evacuate his family to Novaliches, present-day Quezon City.
As a musical director, he was involved in a number of movies such as "Mabangong Bulaklak", "Ang Ibong Adarna", "Mutya ng Pasig", and "Alitaptap".
He died on October 16, 1952; he was given a posthumous Outstanding Composer Award by the Manila Music Lovers Society the same year.
His "Mayon Concerto" is considered his magnum opus. Begun in 1943 and finished in 1948, "Mayon Concerto" had its full rendition in February 1950 at the graduation recital of his sister Rosario at the Holy Ghost College.

1) Once again, I apologize if I had only put up a commemoration video just now... I blame it on myself, and my composer's block, because I was hoping to show you another composition, but my mind is just so fahquing dry, and so had to do this video as a last resort. Actually, I was glad there was sheet music of this one already available.
2) Whoops, apparently, the timing is way off in this video, especially at the end. Note to self: convert .mp3 files to .wav files before making a video. :P
3) Thank you very much once again for this. I -- or should I say we -- wouldn't reach this milestone without you, ladies and gentlemen. It's not worth the prize, considering my low productivity rate, but I'm still very, very thankful to all of you. I hope to see you all again in the future.
4) Any questions? Suggestions? Criticisms? Random comments? Video requests? Feel more than free to do so -- leave a comment or you can leave me a PM. :)
This was a highly coveted piano piece back in the day at my music school. Our piano teacher won’t give us a copy. She said it has to be earned LOL. Thank you so much for uploading it here
I believe this music portrays life before WWII in the Philippines, during the war, and after the war.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful and sensitive performance.
The opening theme comes from a folk tune called "Condansoy" from Northern Leyte. The lyrics are in Waray-waray dialect. I also heard from a vinyl recording some years ago the same Condansoy tune composed and performed by a Venezuelan composer-pianist, Ivencio Castellano. He titled it "Filipina". Which comes first, Condansoy or Filipina? I do have a conjecture but I don't know the answer. Condansoy is often mistaken as Dandansoy. Dandansoy is a beautiful, and captivating melody from Ilongo speaking region.
REPLY
could be that Kundansoy is the one who borrowed from the theme of this beautiful piece considering the time this piece was composed.
What is the folk song this piece is based from? I've heard that melody before
The composer borrowed the tune of the Filipino/Visayan folksong "Condansoy" for this piece.
Wonderful piece Spanish composer never seem to bore
He's Filipino, for your information...
+thenameisgsarci Very sorry. My bad
Yeah... :)
Pretty interesting. It compares evenly to that Alkan prelude/etude about a village on fire, at the extreme end of programmatic music.
I don't think music has an end, in my opinion, but hey... :)
I know this comment is 2 years old but do you happen to know what Alkan etude you're talking about?
He's talking about the Etude Op. 35 No. 7 in E-flat major, with the programmatic title "Fire in the neighboring village".
@@thenameisgsarci interesting how it's in a major key but about a tragic event. Will check it out. Thanks :)
That's a magnificent composition.

nope. original style I think.
This is the first movement of this fantasy.
Magnificent rendition! Thank you for sharing your talent! I would pay to see this played live in a recital! Is there any chance the music would be available for printing? I just produced and performed my Harana concert last Saturday here in Halifax, NS and would love to include this in next year's Harana Concert. Thank You!

Dandansoy
Its actually a folk tune called "Condansoy" from Northern Leyte. The lyrics are in Waray-waray dialect. I also heard the same Condansoy tune composed and performed by a Venezuelan composer-pianist, Ivencio Castellano. He titled it "Filipina". Which comes first, Condansoy or Filipina?

Liszt-ish... would you agree?
Perhaps, some passages in the piece can be considered very demanding. :)
