“Gratitud” (Valse Caprice) - Music by: Francisco Buencamino, Sr. **This was my recital piece with Lucia Francisco Music Circle in Quezon City, Philippines as their scholar. * * **About the composer: **Francisco Beltran Buencamino, Sr. - a versatile Filipino musician, composer, director, music educator and administrator, founded the Buencamino Academy in 1930. He composed music for films produced by Sampaguita Pictures, LVN and Excelsior. * * Some of the sarswelas he wrote are: "Marcela" (1904), "Si Tio Celo" (1904) and "Yayang " (1905). In 1908, the popularity of the sarswela started to wane because of American repression and the entry of silent movies. Francisco Buencamino then turned to composing kundimans. * * One of his earliest compositions is "En el bello Oriente" (1909), which uses Jose Rizal's lyrics. "Ang Una Kong Pag-ibig", a popular kundiman, was inspired by his wife. In 1938, he composed an epic poem which won a prize from the Far Eastern University during one of the annual carnivals. His "Mayon Concerto" is considered his magnum opus. Begun in 1943 and finished in 1948, "Mayon Concerto" had its full rendition in February 1950 at the graduation recital of Rosario Buencamino at the Holy Ghost College. "Ang Larawan" (1943), also one of his most acclaimed works, is a composition based on a Balitaw tune. The orchestral piece, "Pizzicato Caprice" (1948) is a version of this composition. Many of his other compositions were lost during the Japanese Occupation, when he had to evacuate his family to Novaliches, Rizal. * * As a musical director, he was involved in a number of movies such as "Mabangong Bulaklak", "Ang Ibong Adarna", "Mutya ng Pasig", and "Alitaptap". * * Francisco Buencamino died on the 16th of October, 1952 in the same year, he was given a posthumous Outstanding Composer Award by the Manila Music Lovers Society. * * Additional Information: Filipino Concert Pianist Cecile Licad, is his grand niece. Composers Willy Cruz, Lorrie Ilustre and Nonong Buencamino, and actor Noni Buencamino are his grandnephews. * * 🎧🎶Thanks for watching🥰🎹🌟Please follow also my other channels: 🎹Instagram - @joann_seguerra -   / joann_seguerra   🎹Twitter@ - joann_seg -   / joann_seg   🎹FB Page@ - Fb.me/jaspianos -   / jaspianos   #FilipinoMusic #pianosolo #pianist #filipinocomposers #pianista #piano #pianoinstagram #yamahapiano #welovemusic #jaspianostudio
