"Mi Ultimo Adios" - Filipino Patriotic Song [RIZAL DAY TRIBUTE]

About the song: "Mi último adiós" (English; “My Last Farewell”) is a poem written by Filipino propagandist and writer Dr. José Rizal before his execution by firing squad on December 30, 1896. The piece was one of the last notes he wrote before his death. Another that he had written was found in his shoe, but because the text was illegible, its contents remain a mystery. Rizal did not ascribe a title to his poem. Mariano Ponce, his friend and fellow reformist, titled it "Mi último pensamiento" ("My Last Thought") in the copies he distributed, but this did not catch on. Also, the "coconut oil" containing the poem was not delivered to the Rizal's family until after the execution as it was required to light the cell. Some members of Spain's Real Academia de la Lengua considers it the most touching farewell poem written in Spanish. Rizal’s poem was set into music by various composers, both classical and contemporary. One of the most famous versions is an art song composed by Nicanor Abelardo, which utilizes the first three and the final stanzas plus the last line of the immortal poem. Mamerto Villaba, a famous Filipino tenor, first heard this song rendered by a female choir under the direction of Dr. Molina shortly after World War II. Touched by its beauty and lofty sentiments, he borrowed a copy of the score from Dr. Molina and had it rewritten as a solo for tenor. The recording in this video is Villaba’s recording of the aforementioned arrangement for the album “LAHI: Filipino Heritage in Music”. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mi_úl...)

About Jose Rizal: José Protasio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda (June 19, 1861 – December 30, 1896) was a Filipino nationalist and polymath during the tail end of the Spanish colonial period of the Philippines. He is often tagged as the national hero (pambansang bayani) of the Filipino people. An ophthalmologist by profession, Rizal became a writer and a key member of the Filipino Propaganda Movement, which advocated political reforms for the colony under Spain. He was executed by the Spanish colonial government for the crime of rebellion after the Philippine Revolution, inspired in part by his writings, broke out. Though he was not actively involved in its planning or conduct, he ultimately approved of its goals which eventually led to Philippine independence. He is widely considered one of the greatest heroes of the Philippines and has been recommended to be so honored by an officially empaneled National Heroes Committee. However, no law, executive order or proclamation has been enacted or issued officially proclaiming any Filipino historical figure as a national hero. He was the author of the novels Noli Me Tángere and El filibusterismo, and a number of poems and essays.
