Written in 1939, this song is about shining a ligh Written in 1939, this song is about shining a light and giving hope. Lahat ng Araw, more popularly known as “Silayan” for its opening word, was written by Miguel Velarde, Jr., the same composer of the ever popular Dahil sa Iyo. I have such deep respect for composers who can write indelible and beloved melodies. A melody by definition must be simple, uncontrived. The act of stringing together a diatonic series of notes that elicits emotions and trancends time is no easy feat. I believe a great melody comes from something undefinable - the closest thing a composer has of being visited by a muse and leaving you a gift. It is magic. #Schubert , #beethoven #Mozart , #piazzolla , #gershwin to name a few, and don’t forget, #thebeatles were definitely visited many times over. #classicalguitarist #soloacousticguitar #classicalguitar #filipinomusic #filipinolovesongs

He was completely unknown until about 150 years after his death, when another composer (Mendelssohn) re-discovered and championed his music. Hard to imagine that for 150 years, the world existed without his music. Reading off the composer’s original handwriting is quite special, I highly recommend it. Btw, I got this score from an LP I bought at Tower Records many moons ago. Can you imagine, a manuscript copy of Bach’s complete Violin Partitas as a goodie included in the LP record? Man, I miss LPs! #classicalguitarist #JSBach #classicalguitar #originalmanuscript #classicalguitaristsofinstagram
