Larong Pampango [Games of Pampanga] (SSA)

$5.00

Experience the charm of “Larong Pampango,” a choral piece inspired by two traditional spoken rhymes, “Lalagare” and “Salikutan,” from Tarlac City in the Philippines. Rooted in local culture, “Lalagare” mimics the action of sawing, while “Salikutan” captures the playful spirit of hide-and-seek. These rhymes, historically chanted as part of a ritual to designate the seeker in a game, are brought to life in this dynamic composition.

At the heart of “Larong Pampango” is the ingenious use of quodlibet, a technique that seamlessly weaves two or more melodies together into a harmonious and lively blend. Unlike a medley, quodlibet maintains a single harmonic progression throughout, providing cohesion and rhythmic vitality. The composer skillfully transforms the inherent rhythmic energy of these rhymes into engaging, melodious lines that come alive in performance.

Available in two-part and SSA voicings, this versatile piece is perfect for choirs of all levels, from beginners to moderately advanced ensembles.
