Zen Virtual Piano-তে De Leon, Felipe P.-এর পিয়ানো শীট দেখুন। A young Filipino musician, Felipe de Leon, went up onto one of Manila's tallest ruins on Christmas night 1946, a year after the war ended, and wrote there a carol of peace to words by the author and journalist Brigido Batungbakal, Payapang Daigdig, or Peaceful World. A newer arrangement by Mack Wilberg, written for Lea Salonga and the Tabernacle Choir, combines the carol with another from a different century and continent. A carol composed on top of ruins the year after a war suggests a piece made as a statement of hope instead of an exercise in craft, with the setting itself as part of its meaning. Born in Peñaranda, Nueva Ecija, on May 1, 1912, Felipe Padilla de Leon was schooled in Manila and the United States and grew into a leading Philippine composer, conductor and scholar. As a young man he played the horn, and soon the trombone, in Banda Pagkakaisa of his beloved Peñaranda, a band that served as a laboratory for his musical talent. His wife was Iluminada Bonus Mendoza, and their six musical children were Felipe, Bayani, Tagumpay, Luningning, Magdangal and Marilag. A town band that served as a training ground, and a family of musical children, suggest that music was both his schooling and his home life, from the band of his town to the children of his own household. Back in the Commonwealth period, while studying composition and conducting at the UP College of Music, he already promoted nationalism as a musical language and wrote about it in his Philippine Collegian column. He held that national music's soul lay in the folk song, because it is a people's natural and spontaneous expression of how they live. The Japanese commissioned Tindig, Aking Inang Bayan during the Pacific War, and he slipped strains of the national anthem into it, a quiet way to show his nationalist feeling. A song written on command that quoted the national anthem hints at a composer who found ways to put his convictions into work he could not refuse, even under pressure. He is known for translating the Philippine National Anthem from the original Spanish into Tagalog. Noli Me Tangere, from 1957, was the first full-length Filipino opera, and he composed it from José Rizal's novel of social realism. Largely through his initiative, the Filipino Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, Filscap, was organized. Among his honors are the Republic Cultural Heritage Award, the Presidential Award of Merit, the Rizal-Pro Patria Award, a Doctor of Humanities from the University of the Philippines and Manila's Patnubay ng Sining at Kalinangan Award. An opera drawn from a national novel and a society for composers that he helped found suggest a musician who worked both on works and on the institutions around them, treating the profession as something to build.
