The rondalla is an ensemble ofstringed instrumentsplayed with theplectrumorpickand generally
known asplectrum instruments. It originated inMedieval Spain, especially inCatalunya,[1]
Aragon,
Murcia, andValencia. The tradition was later taken toSpanish Americaand elsewhere. The word
rondalla is from the Spanish ronda, meaning "serenade.
History
The rondalla has its origins in the playing bands fromSpain(as well as 'New Spain', namely
Mexico) that were forerunners of the present-day rondalla and included four types: groups of
young men who played and sang regularly in front of homes, bands of musicians known as
murza ormurgawho begged for alms, a group of musicians known as comparza who played onstage, and groups of university musicians known as estudiantina, dubbed tuna. The usual
musical instruments used by estudiantina members weremandolins,violins,guitars,flutes,
cellos,basses,tambourines,castanets, andtriangles. Estudiantina musicians in Spain andMexico, before and during the age ofmusical romanticism, wore 16th century attire such as"short velvet breeches, ornate shirts and a short cape with multicolored ribbons".
[2]
Philippines
During the Spanish period in theEast Indies, the rondalla was brought to the Philippines by the
Spaniards. In the early Philippines, certain styles were adopted by the natives, especially guitarand banduria used in thePandanggo, theJota, and thePolka. The use of the term comparza was
common, however, during the American period in the Philippines, the term rondalla became
more used. At present, rondalla, in the Philippines, refers to any group of stringed instruments
that are played using the plectrum or pick.[4]
TheFilipino instrumentsare made from indigenousPhilippine wood and the plectrum, or picks, are made fromtortoise-shell. Other stringed
instruments composing the standard Filipino rondalla are thebandurria, thelad, theoctavina,
theTwelve-string guitar, theUkulele, the bajo de uas ordouble bass, theGuitarrn mexicano,and other Filipino-made instruments modeled and developed after the guitar.
[4]The Philippine
rondallasrepertoireinclude folk songs such as theBalitaw, theKundiman, the "Zarzuela", the
"Subli", the "Harana", the "Tinikling", and the "Cariosa".

Rondalla
In 1800s Spain brought the rondalla in the Philippines. Rondalla is a traditional ensemble that became a
part of philippine history and one of the most revived musical tradition practices of Filipinos. It is
prominent in rural community by providing accompaniment to folk dancing and singing . The Philippine
rondalla developed into an elaborate instrumental group. In addition to the bandurria, laud, and guitar
of the Spanish rondalla, Filipinos added the octavina, bass, and optional instruments such as the piccolo
bandurria, mandola, and various percussion instruments.
La Libertad is a local government unit and one of the many government and private institutions wants topursue the unending quest of Filipino cultural heritage of plucked string ensembles which became the
trademarks of the country. Mayor Jocelyn Limkaichong was the mother of La Libertad Childrens
Rondalla, valuing the Filipino culture was one of her thrust in organizing the ensemble during her
incumbency in February 2006. When rondalla ensemble became a valuable artistic medium in fostering
the cultural identity of the town the awareness of the ensemble become widespread and many parents
appreciated the project.

The achievements of La Libertad Childrens
rondalla was a remarkable, six months after the group joined a major competition for the first time in
the Buglasan 2006 Rondalla Junior Division. It was a dramatic victory, being the champion, they will
represent the province in the 2nd International Rondalla Fiestival Cuerdas sa Panaghiusa which
brought La Libertad on top in the aspect of culture and arts.
Rondalla Instruments
The instruments of the standard Filipino rondalla have similarities in structure and
are played with a plectrum made out of turtle shell. Except for the guitar and bass
guitar(double bass), all are 14-stringed consisting of six(6) sets of stringstunedin the
intervals of fourths, each set consisting of 1, 2 or 3 string/s. The purpose of the
doubling or tripling of strings is to produce better sound and increase tone volume.

The main parts of the stringed instruments of the rondalla are basically the same. A
hollow body(sound box) constructed of a sound board(top plate), which is attached
to a back board(back plate) by side walls(rims) form the main body of the
instrument. The sound board picks up and amplifies the vibrations of the strings. The
nice-figured body(sound box) is attached to one end of a narrow neck against which
the strings can be shortened by pressing the fingers on the fingerboard to vary the
vibrating length and thus the pitch. The neck ends in the tuning head which has theworm and gear mechanism to adjust the tension of the strings when tuning the
instrument. There is a string holder(tailpiece) at the bottom of the body and a bridge
on which the strings are stretched, so that they can vibrate freely. The sound holes
with a round shape, except the laud which is f-shape, have a great influence on the
timbre of the instrument. Basically, they communicate the volume of air inside the
-

5/12
instrument with the outside air which is the medium in which the waves are carried
from the instrument. The size and openness of the holes influences the frequency of
the vibrating mass of air within the instrument and therefore the selective
reinforcement of certain notes. The holes also influence the flexibility of the
soundboard and consequently affect its vibrational patterns. Tops, backs, and sides
are carefully selected and graduated to enhance their natural attributes. Every piece
of wood from the neck to the smallest brace is acoustically matched to obtain the
highest performance from each instrument. The wood of langka, kamagong, narra,
ballatinao, tanguile, and Philippine mahogany were generally used as materials for
the construction of the instrument. Although the imported pine wood and rosewood
continued to be used by some.
In an 8-member rondalla, it is advisable to have 4 bandurrias, 1 laud, 1 octavina, 1
guitar, and 1 double bass. The 30-member group has 16 bandurrias, 3 piccolos, 3
lauds, 3 octavinas, 3 guitars, and 2 basses.The number of percussion instruments in
both small and large combination is optional.
In the modern version, these instruments can portray the corresponding tones of
orchestral instruments. The bandurria does the role of the first violin, the clarinet, the
flute, and the trumpet. Its lowest note is small F# while its highest is three-line G. The
laud, which is at times interchanged with the octavina, performs the role of the viola,the cello, the bassoon, the horn, or the trombone in the orchestra. Its range extends
from great F# to two-line G. The octavina carries the same range as the laud. The
guitar furnishes the chores and the contra-bass. It is notated an octave higher than its
actual sound. Its range extends from great E to three-line E. The bass-guitar supplies
the base in the harmony in the same manner as the the contra-bass does in the
orchestra. Like the guitar, the bass-guitar is notated an octave higher than its real
sound which is from contra-E to small A.
Other instruments in the string and percussion sections are added when the rondalla
must assume a symphonic stature. In this case the number of players increaseproportionately doubling or tripling the number of original and authentic instruments
of the group. The bass drum, snare drum, cymbal, triangle, tambourine, marimba,
timpani and kettle may be added for the rhythmic effects. The UPA&F Rondalla uses
the maracasin one of their musical rendition. Maracas are gourd or gourd-shaped
rattles filled with seeds or pebbles and used often in pairs as a rhythmic instrument.

Guitar
Six(6)-stringed with long fretted neck which can be plucked with the fingers or with a plectrum,larger body as the octavina with round sound hole, plays the accompaniments, but it also plays
melodies and counterparts, provides the permanent rhythm for the group using chordal andarpeggio accompaniments.
Laud
Shaped like the bandurria, but it is bigger with a longer neck and with two fsound holes, usually
plays the lower notes in accompaniments, counterparts, and in unison with the bass. The old
original laud, better known as the "lute", has a round body in the shape of a half pear, a flat neckwith seven or more frets, and a separate pegbox bent back at an angle.

Double Bass
The double bass, also called bass VIOL or contrabass is four(4)-stringed, the largest instrumentof the rondalla, shaped like the violin with two fsound holes, provides the fundamental tome and
reinforces the rhythm. Until 1910, the bass-guitar was just a little bit bigger than the ordinaryguitar, and was played in the same manner as the guitar, placed on the lap. Later, the bass-guitar
adapted a tailpiece, and was henceforth played with the player standing up. In the interior of thebass, a small piece of round wood is fixed immediately behind the right foot of the bridge, to act
as a support. It is called the 'sound post'. Under the bridge's left foot a strip of wood known as the
'bass bar' is glued lengthways along the belly

Rondalla Composers
Toribio David
Born in Hermosa, Bataan and was superintendent of schools in Bataan and
Albay. He is unknown to many musicians, although he is a prolific composer
having produced a thick volume of compositions for the military band, small
orchestra and rondalla. "Hermosa at Dawn" and the "The Rival" are two of his
many overtures for the rondalla. These two works were published in the
Musical Journal of Delphin R. Manlapaz.
Antonio J. Molina
He is well known in the field of composition and cello playing. He has written
several pieces for the rondalla, among them "The Evolution of Paru-Parong
Bukid" a variation on the folk song. This was played by the Rondalla, Orchestra
and Philharmonic Band of the Yellow Taxicab Company in 1941. Molina has
also produced literature.
Capt.Fulgencio Gragera
A composition graduate of the Conservatory of Music, University of the
Philippines, he won first prizein the rondalla composition contest launched by
the Taliba newspaper. His medley of folk songs was used as the contest piece
in the Taliba-sponsored rondalla contest in 1970. The folk songs in the medley
were "Sa Libis ng Nayon", "Pobreng Alindahaw", "Dandansoy",
"Pamulinawen", "Sarung Banggi", "Bahay Kubo", and "O Kaka, O Kaka".
Bayani Mendoza De Leon
A composition graduate of the Centro Escolar University Conservatory of
Music, he is a writer and a versatile performer on the flute and on rondalla
instruments. In 1968 he conducted the C.E.U. Rondalla in a concert featuring

his compositions. His symphonic poem "Batong-Buhay" and his "Tatlong
Bulaklak" were played. He referred to "Batong-Buhay" as the "first serious
attempt to transform the rondalla into a symphonic entity". He added that
"the attempt in rondalla composition is to achieve two goals: (1) to show the
capacity of the rondalla in interpreting classical music and (2) to give the
rondalla a symphonic status".
Octavio V. Cruz
An operatic-tenor and a public-school teacher, he wrote music for the
rondalla, one of them "March on, Youth" which was published in Manlapaz's
Musical Journal.
Lucino T. Sacramento
He is a charter member of the Filipino Composer's League, a faculty member
of the C.E.U. Conservatory of Music and other music schools, and a composer
of operas and concertos. He wrote music for the rondalla.
Jerry Dadap
An enterprising young musician with a Bachelor of Music degree from theUniversity of the Philippines Conservatory of Music, he has ventured to write
music for the rondalla in a larger scope. He has a rondalla group in addition to
his several choirs, one of them being the Andres Bonifacio Choir which is an
offshoot of his musical "Andres Bonifacio, Ang Dakilang Anak Pawis".

Classification of Musical Instruments
Musical Instruments are classifed according to five major catergories, based on the sound
produced by the vibrating material. This system of classification was invented by musicologistCurt Sachs, and it is now universally accepted. This system was later named the Sachs-
Hornbostel system.
1) Idiophones - Self sounding instruments. They are of naturally sonourous material. They may
be struck, shaken, plucked, or rubbed. A few examples of struck idiophones are bells, cymbals,
and lithophones. Shaken Idiophones are rattles. An example of plucked idiophones are harps, and
an example of rubbed idiophones are harmonicas.
2) Membranophones - Instruments producing sound by means of a stretched skin, or
membrane. Some examples are kettledrums, snare drums, and tambourines. Some of these drums
are rubbed instead of struck.
3) Aerophones - Wind instruments. The sound is caused by vibrating air. In Tubular
Aerophones, the air is inclosed in a tube in 3 ways: 1) Trumpets and Horns - The players
compressed lips set the air into motion 2) Reed Instruments (clarinet, saxaphone, oboe) - a single
or double beeting reed sets the air into motion 3) Flutes: The sharp edge of a hole, against which
the players breath is directed, sets the air into motion
Most saxophones, flutes, and many clarinets are made of metal. Horns and trumpets haven beenmade of other materials such as wood, ivory tusk, animal horn, gold, and clay.
4) Chordophones - String instruments. 4 types: a) Zithers - neckless instruments, with strings
stretched from end to end of a board. They are struck or plucked. b) Lutes - instruments with
necks. They may be plucked or bowed. c) Lyres - Instruments with two projecting arms linked
by a crossbar. May be plucked or bowed d) Harps - instruments in which the string's plane is at
an angle, rather than parallel to the sound board.
5) Electrophones Instruments using electronic circuits. Amplification of Sound - May use an
electronic circuit to reinforce means of amplification. Examples: Electric guitar, electric piano
