LITURGY AND DEVOTIONAL MUSIC

Religious music of the lowlands of Luzon reveals the impact of Spanish
colonization to the Philippines which lasted for almost three centuries. With the
introduction of Christianity came the different Western forms of music that are used
for religious rites. Some of these were adapted by Filipino musicians to suit Philippine
culture and traditions.
