May this poem be heard as a testament of Amorsolo’s “History of Philippine Music” and his artistry.
Winds already touched the glistening sails
of a boat that bears the shadows of
blossoming antiquity
Playful noises coming from the grasp of the lips,
Lines withdrawn in the psalms of the hands
where flourished the earliest divinity
Heaven’s gate, seeks the triumphant
venture,
Of the melodious kundiman
let the angels sing their joy
through dramatic intervals.
