What is the melody of mutya ng pasig
The melody of Mutya ng Pasig
The Mutya ng Pasig folklore inspired kundiman composer Nicanor Abelardo to create the classical music poetry Mutya ng Pasig which tells about the sad fate of a woman who appears in the Pasig River during the full moon.
The song was written in 1926 and was inspired by the Kumintang, a traditional song from Batangas, a province in the Philippines, with Malayan rhythmic pat.
This song will forever live on the subconscious of Pasig natives on account of its haunting lyrics and melody and the effervescent romance that goes on between the city folk and the famous river.
- Richard Abelardo’s Mutya ng Pasig (Pearl of the Pasig, 1950) at first glance plays like a musical version of Wuthering Heights (Dona Sisang’s LVN Pictures was known for its musicals): the star-crossed lovers forcibly separated (this time by a false accusation and a prison term); the woman marrying another; the death in mid-narrative; the man haunted by ghosts of memories past–all accompanied by the occasional song (including the haunting eponymous melody* composed by Nicanor Abelardo, Richard’s cousin) and dance number.
