Arranged by Maria Theresa Vizconde-Roldan

This colorful work from the Philippines portrays the soundscape of the Cordilleras, a mountainous region in the northern part of the country. Opening with a peaceful chant, representing the rice fields at sunrise, the tranquility is soon interrupted by animal calls and festive shouts of children playing. Serenity finally returns at sunset.

LYRICS
Mantaco, mantaco ganganasan
Ay, ila ela elalay
Ay insi insinali dummaay orde-e
Payande, payande umameliyan
Agaggaw, agaggaw way mandonnoy

TRANSLATION
