[@jukkendahl]

Congratulations from me too :)

[@norhainehanafi7031]

Galing

[@johnroger23]

This shows that choirs from the Philippines are World class.. specifically the Philippine Madrigal Singers who led all the Filipino choirs to the international stage and be at par the best of the world...

[@gramirez72]

@jay061285 In this particular arrangement, or interpretation, of Lupan Hinirang, there seems to be a fermata at the end of each section. Time signature is still the same - 2/4 march tempo - but fermatas were added at certain intervals. Would be curious to know who recorded this version. Not sure who provided the CD - maybe the local Phil. Embassy or the Madz - but someone should have listened to it prior to it being used.

[@motherofchina]

thank you po kay JO RUBIO at sa ONESIMUS para sa mga costumes ng madz...sila naniniwala din sa madrigal na dapat ishowcase din truly filipino pagdating sa costumes...

[@motherofchina]

i like the way you said "lola choir"...cute pakinggan, parang tutoo kasi eh :)

[@Crosstongue]

Dapat lahat ng tao magpakatino.. kasabay ng pag alis ng corrupt wag natin iasa sa iilan ang pag unlad.

[@athenoula44]

yan ang pinoy di pahuhuli!

[@dohnpedro]

they should have sang the national anthem acapella. hahaha! the accompaniment was a mess, or so i think! they are so good!

[@silverlima19]

hope you may clinic ulit...sana may MADZ et al ulit...ehehehe...

[@dekster10024]

thank you for posting this...from the angle of the camera, i am assuming that you are from the taipei chamber choir. thank you.

[@ianbr1193]

W8 nung nanalo na nahuli kayo sa pagkanta ng LUPANG HINIRANG?Pero nice work! Gnyan ang MADZ!

[@momomama3769]

thank you for crying me

[@liamgekzua477]

UNG TIEMPO O SOUND PARANG ANG BAGAL OR IBA KAYA DI SILA MKASUNOD BUTI NKA HABOL AT NAAYOS RIN

[@motherofchina]

no competitions po ata for the madz (at least for the EGP circle) for 5 years..rule po ata nila un

[@BicolBandit]

That's funny how everyone got thrown off by the arrangement of the music. I was singing along while watching and the same thing happened to me. Belated congrats to the Madrigal singers!

[@motherofchina]

true....

[@uberathlete]

@JeuxRAE hehe. You know, the funny thing is we haven't really sent a truly elite choir to the world choir games. It's like we think that that competition isn't really an elite competition yet so why bother sending our best. Personally, I think the world choir games isn't at that elite level yet but they're really pushing it and promoting it. For now I don't have a problem with us sending our tier 2 choirs to the games. But in due time I'd like to see us bag every major award in that competition.

[@jjceu]

The Philippine Madrigal Singers are really good... They played as a threat to European choirs. They even got suspended in this grand prix before because no European singers can beat them. Moreover, the madz are from the University of the Philippines...

[@iNyxx.]

@gramirez72 actually, para nga syang pause sa choir. Accompaniment lang.

[@jay061285]

@gramirez72 thank you for that response. If that so the party/ies who submitted that CD must correct that version, because it can be used in future occasions like this one, and the story will repeat itself. Dapat pansinin din ito ng National Historical Institute (NHI) kasi Pangalan ng Bansa ang naksalalay dito.

[@jhapzzz]

Sad but True.......... Only the good and the beautiful things are the focus of once eye........ kng pangit, ng bubulagan-bulagan lng.... pero that's a totally a different topic on its own........ not related to the reasons why this video was posted to begin with....... my two scents worth.

[@kimpogi92]

GOMADZ

[@motherofchina]

tama po kayo. acc to my friend who was with the madz at that time, the national anthem used by arezzo did have an extra bar, right where it sounded like an error of the madz :)

[@Cpao2]

wow grabe na iyak ako! parang pacquaio win. Go Pinas!

[@md2rn2np2broadcaster]

@Raymondpastoral "they played another version of the National Anthem... there were interludes between stanzas... the one used is of a different arrangement than the original version Julian Felipe wrote; Madz was singing the original arrangement... what joy!" ~Anonymous

[@motherofchina]

@gramirez72 - hi. fyi, the madz did not provide the music. not sure where it came from. :) peace!

[@TimChen0913]

So maybe you saw me in Arezzo, my name is Tim.

[@joibu]

israelcan... from an article i had read when the madz first won the EGP (1997)... the legendary batch '89 of the madz advanced to the Grand Prix but failed to garner local support in the Philippines (sponsors). eventually, their quest for the EGP was scrapped and didn't push through. 2007 could have been their 3rd EGP since they are highly favored to win in 1990.

[@gramirez72]

@jay061285 That's a pre-recorded arrangement, in other words a CD. In this arrangement, or interpretation, there's an extra beat or a "fermata" at the end of each section which threw the singers off. Maybe the festival committee acquired it from the local Phil. Embassy or the Madz submitted it, no idea. But wherever that recording came from the, the Madz should've been given an opportunity to get familiar with that particular version and been made aware of this kind of interpretation.

[@ENGRDLAJR]

Wow! Congratz Pinoys! in summary: we have UP Madz, we have Manny Pacquiao, Efren "bata" Reyes, Paeng Nepomuceno, Great pinoys abroad, we have Regine V., ect..We got superpower of talents! Government officials should cooperate and magpakatino!

[@kwechkwech]

ang hirap sa mga taong katulad mo, tunetmacho, lagi kang may problema kapag masaya at proud ang ibang tao. kung malungkot ang buhay mo, huwag mo naman kaming idamay. pakiusap lang. kung may problema ka sa buhay, itago mo na lang. huwag mong ibuhos sa ibang tao ang mga frustration mo.

[@johnkevin1104]

And Lea Salonga!

[@chadaornindot]

hay sana nakapag aral ako sa UP or sa UST or sa ateneo... if nangyari yun sana na appreciate ko yung talents ng choir nila all the same... wala nang pa UST, USPA ateneo glee club or madz!!! magaling talaga ang mga pinoy pagdating na sa kantahan... hay.... MABUHAY MADZ CONGRATS!!!

[@jay061285]

@lnolasco2010 hey it is not on the "rest" of the original notation of Lupang Hinirang, the time signature must be 4-4, a march tempo na dapat sumakto talga xa.. cge sabayan mo ung accompaniment na yun, kakanta ka sa maraming tao, tingnan ko lang kung masasabayan mo yun... cge mag-rest ka dun after nung phrases, gumawa kn ng sarili mong anthem arrangement: cguro 5:4 ung labas ng time mo..

[@Raymondpastoral]

VERY GOOD,,, KASO SAYANG,,, MAY MALI DUN SA ORCHESTRA BA YUN??

[@aurorapolicarpioponce2867]

Raymond Pasto masydo lng mbilis ung beat..but nevertheless overjoyed nrin kya di sla nkasbay...

[@jay061285]

@lnolasco2010 and one thing more, pls don't say that "di lang alam ng mga pinoy na walang rest dun sa intervals ng anthem", kc simula mga bata tayo kinakanta na natin ng ganun paraan un anthem. thank you.. Peace and God Bless...

[@cananttepatipya]

halu! I'm not pure filipino too father is thai. i just wonder how much is it to hire to sing for the king? do you sing loi khratong? very very good when i hear it before when i was a young boy.especially the guitar when strumming strumming, very nice makes me smiling face.and the accent is very thai so somehow i think u are not so good now because the old lady conductor is gone but i was wrong, you sing very clean now. how you do that?

[@motherofchina]

the anthem that they played had extra "bars". that's why the madz were confused. good thing, one of the supporters was near the stage to give them a signal :)

[@motherofchina]

5 po silang nagcompete

[@anyong29]

kung napapancin nyo lng guys, mdme mga pinoy ay mgling kumnta :)

[@Magnifico355]

Ano kinanta nila?

[@jjceu]

They got suspended in the European choral grand prix because no delegate from Europe can get ahead of the UP Madz. After the suspension, they still managed to win.

[@motherofchina]

ay ano po yung "suspended"?

[@joeytuballa5941]

Is it true? That madrigal singers allowed just every 10 years to compete international competition coz they always win?

[@TimChen0913]

No, Its not true!
