NATIONAL ANTHEMS ONLINE THE PHILIPPINES: Lupang Hinirang The title means The Chosen Land and the song was composed in 1898 by Julian Felipe who was born in Cavite City. At an early age he showed talent in music and studied both piano and organ. He eventually became organist of St. Peter's Parish Church and around the same time started writing music. He was a music teacher and composer and was appointed by then President Emilio Aguinaldo as Director of the National Band of the First Philippine Republic. When Emilio Aguinaldo came to power, he commissioned Felipe to compose “something stirring and majestic which can inspire our men to fight the enemy". Originally the anthem didn't have lyrics but in 1899 words were adapted from the Spanish poem Filipinas written by José Palma. The new anthem was first performed at the proclamation of Philippine independence on 12th June 1898. The printed music is often written in 2/4 time with dotted rhythms but in practice, triplets are nearly always played and sung. This arrangement is written in 6/8 time and is an attempt to recreate the performance style of the anthem as heard on Philippine radio and television. Sometimes several long side-drum rolls are played before the start of the anthem and the repeats are always observed.
