BIG FAN of UST Singers here. . . hehe that's why I uploaded these vids. . . catch their concert at the Philippine Heart Center this September (will post details soon) the group really is GREAT even unusual songs like "Gabaq-an" can brin me to tears hehe. . .wierd but they really just sound sooooo great that's why. . .
ust singers ang choirs of up like madz and ambassadors must not be compared... they are all great choirs all representing a our country... they are of same level all being able to be pride of the Phils...
Wow... Grabe, galing talaga ni Noel... sana ganyan din boses ko para mai-lead ko mga bass sa choir namin... More power noel, sir fidel and to the whole choir...
entenpol..yea...malapit ng umuwi...will visit UST PGC around 1st week of Nov. Will email you my contact no. Too bad di ako makapanood ng sept 29 concert. Long Live UST Singers! The best talaga!
hi guys! thanks for the comments! I'm part of this performance (im the guy - video focused on the 00:07-0:08 second) and it was actually the awarding concert of the competition winners. The competition is the 2002 Festa Musical, International Choir Competition in Olomouc, Czech Rep. This sing is in Maguindanaoan text (interspersed with bisaya).
@wilby: I watched a show about a Lumad village, and they called their God "Magbabaya", which I kept hearing in the piece. So its sung in Bukidnon, Mansaka or Manobo dialects. Lumad nonetheless :D Abosultely amazing!
Iba talaga ang UST singer.. POWER of the voice walang sinabi ang MADZ.. MADZ has it's own unique way of interpretation.. I've heard this piece sung by the old members, and they sing fantastic, but when the UST singers born, they give more powerful and bring out the real power of GABAG-AN.. i admire both MADZ and UST singers.. They made the philippines always Proud and give honor to the country.. stop the crab mentallity..
thanks gmdeleon!hey guys, pleas hope na matapos ko yung pag convert ko ng mga viedeos namin from 1993 till 2005, tapusin ko lang pag convert. thanks ulit wilby sa pag upload nung mga vid. madami ako i-a-upload pramis!
hi kuya semperfitchicago! bwahaha! wow, all the way fom chicago pa yang message na yan ha! hehe! Lapit ka na umuwe! Wilby, thanks for uploading the video. i could have uploaded the whole awarding concert pero hindi kaya ng TH-cam eh!
galing naman... watch also the rendition of imusicapella in their gabaq-an.. u can see ther na mas sosyal ang kanilang stick.. bwehehehhe.. joke lang.. both of them are good naman..
this is the best recording ever recorded for this song. haha. i would like the Madz have this piece performed live din. :) ang alam ko lang kasi yung sa CD lang. :)) GO UST SINGERS!
whoa, you're really a follower. haha! thanks! yeah, O Magnum Mysterium is a Morten Lauridsen arrangement. Im not singing with them anymore, the last time i sang with them was last december. Are in the Philippines? They have a concert on Sept. 29 i think, at the Philippine Heart center.
if you study both choirs, they have their own weakness and strengths, Madz has this celestial ish sound that is really great for sacred music, that's their forte, UST Singers produce robust striking sounds which is excellent for songs by composers like Eric Whitacre, this is just one of the profound skills these choirs have. . .
You are right.This is the 3rd time na nakita ko kinanta ito. First sa MADZ. 2nd ay sa concert video namin. It is kinda a difficult na madali naman na song basta magaling ka magbilang. The UP Los Banos Choral Ensemble sung this piece during the time na MADZ pa conductor namin kaya nakayanan namin. The current batch tried it pero super palpak. Hindi na galing MADZ conductor nila eh. :(
at the end, both choirs are very good and know what repertoire they need to have to bring out and display their capabilities. . . you need to base your critics by listening to both groups and reflecting on it, putting aside fan based opinions. if you're really a music enthusiast you would love both Madz and UST Singers, they're both exceptional
@wilby madz is also really really good when it comes to love songs..there's something about their love songs that is just so captivating. anyways, i'm a really really huge fan of both ust singers and madz.. :) and i'm a thomasian.. ;)
Wow! This is the first time I heard this song! It gave me goosebumps starting from the Bass solo then onwards to 4.30. Fantastic! Re: the comment about saringhimig....excuse me, I don't think UST sounds like saringhimig. It would be insulting for UST to say that...UST is leagues better than saringhimig.
sorry po... wala po akong masamang intention... comment lang po... tinatanong po kasi ni ydnarfive8 kung sino ang may copy ng piece na toh. sorry po ulet! isa po sa mga taga hanga ng ust singers. at mababait cla... go for gold UST singers!!!
I have nothing against UP, in fact, I said the Madz are excellent. I also said I love UP because IM from UP too. You should have picked on that. The point I am trying to make is that the Madz and UST singers are excellent. But you, being the diehard UP fan that swore blind loyalty to UP can not appreciate other people's (groups) strengths. You have some growing up to do. Im just saying. I'll say this again: Both chorale groups from UP and UST are excellent. Get it? :)
this isnt d whole song. they only sang the 1st and 3rd movement. This is a song sung by "baylans" or witch doctors to drive away the evil spirits by scaring them. Its a very powerful song IMHO, while rehearsing the piece you could feel the spirits are restless. I dont understand how you'd rate a song anyway but very few choirs are able to sing this piece because of its difficulty. Kudos to UST for a great job. and for a choir that wins all competitions it enters, a grade of 8.5 isn't enough.
yeah right.. it'll be the best not to make conflicts........ but there will always be what we call "reality".. iba ang level ng madz..alam nman ng lahat yon :D so..... peace! seryosong seryoso ka jan eh :D
I think the pitch is spot on. You might be mistaken but then again each song arrangement is designed on the choral's vocal range and ability. I think thats why you had to perform it in a lower range/pitch. And just because you have a copy of the song means you're right, just saying. And I don't really care what chorale group you belong to. Im sure it's good but I don't think it can be better than the UST Singers. I dont intend to sound mean but your post is subtly inciting hostility.
...i have a copy of this piece!... correct me if i mistaken... mataas po masyado pitch nila..???? kasi medyo mababa rendition namin nito...
and as far as i know tama naman pitch namin... di po me UST singers pero i have a copy of this... jejejeje.. hulaan nyo na lang po kung anong chorale grup akoH!
Is this first batch of UST choir of the world or the second batch? I noticed that the male solo, is much more thinner in this performance. And his performance in Llangollen '10 is much more matured and much better.
:) The "reality" is everyone has a different opinion which one is better. Your folly is generalizing that "iba ang level ng madz.alam ng LAHAT yon." Really? Im sure a lot of people would disagree... Clearly you choose the Madz over everyone else. Thats your opinion, and by making a generalization, it does not make it a fact. Im both from UP and UST and I think both are excellent. Quoting you again: alam ng LAHAT yon. Really? Sure? Peace! :)
Phoenix, ayos yung comment mo na "you have some growing up to do." tama ka jan, other fans, instead of just appreciating the music, kailangan mag compare pa. I see that as a defense mechanism on their part kasi, they know na magaling tong grupo na to, but they wont accept it, instead compare it to their beloved groups. Kung hindi sila nagalingan sa grupong ito, they could just skipped to another video perhaps.. so well said phoenix.
It doesn't mean anything if the Dean is from UP. The ones singing are Thomasians, not the Dean. And if UP is much better than UST, then that he/she should've stayed with UP. Did it not occur to you that probably one of the reason that he/she is in UST is that he/she wanted to work with better students? Just saying.. The UP Madrigals are excellent. So are the UST Singers. For you to say that the UP "choirs" are better is just inciting hostility.You are a troll in that sense. Mabuhay Pilipinas!
They say that I should not compare UST and UP because they have different styles, texture, and interpretation. But I say, I like UST Singers better than the MADZ. For me, UST has better interpretations and styles. They are more "meaty" or thick sounding. And, I like it. MADZ on the other hand is clean sounding. Many people have different preferences don't you think? :)
Its interesting how you contradict yourself. You said: stop making conflicts among choral groups. But then, it was followed by another post saying: u sound like u mean Madz and the UST singers are of the same level... hmmm... the Madz are far far better... "reality check". Far far better? Why not just say theyre the best? Im sure thats what you're dying to say. Save us the redundance. Like Ive said, both groups are excellent and Im proud of both. Fanboys and girls just sicken me...
I don't pick up fights for no reason. Im just stating my opinion. Sugarcoat your sarcasm all you like, truth of the matter is, youre just a troll in the Internet. This is a UST thread and you rave about UP. You think thats appropriate? It's sad that youre from UP. We are taught better than this by our mentors. Do another "reality check". Peace! :)
biased ba? walang duda magaling UP choirs at di maeere yung iba. yung fans lang nila maeere gaya ng iba jan. pero ikumpara ba UST Singers? there's no point!
Reply to PhoenixRoss: hmmm.. u sound like u mean Madz and the UST Singers are of the same level.. hmmm.. the Madz are far far better.. "reality check lang po :)" but if that's not what u mean, then good :)

yeah, its sir fidel! Thanks Prututut! Its very rare that our efforts are acknowleged especially here in the Philippines. Thanks!
I've listened to a lot of choirs on TH-cam. So far you are the best. Such sane dynamics and composure.
Keep up the good work!
Tinig ng Lupa & Gabaq-an are both composed by Filipino composer Ruben Federizon. GREAT performance by the UST SINGERS!!!

WOW! Now there are 2 choirs from the Philippines that I'm really proud of: the MADZ and the UST SINGERS!
Wow... Grabe, galing talaga ni Noel... sana ganyan din boses ko para mai-lead ko mga bass sa choir namin... More power noel, sir fidel and to the whole choir...
No.1 fan of UST Singers here....I'm very proud of you guys! Thanks Wilby for sharing. Hello Enteng! from a die-hard member of UST Pharmacy Glee Club.
entenpol..yea...malapit ng umuwi...will visit UST PGC around 1st week of Nov. Will email you my contact no.
Too bad di ako makapanood ng sept 29 concert.
Long Live UST Singers! The best talaga!

Hello po! I was amazed on how you controlled your voice. Ahm can you give me an advice po on how to sing like that properly? Thanks po! :)
@wilby: I watched a show about a Lumad village, and they called their God "Magbabaya", which I kept hearing in the piece. So its sung in Bukidnon, Mansaka or Manobo dialects. Lumad nonetheless :D Abosultely amazing!
galing ng soloist! stop making conflicts among choral groups.. we all have the same passion naman, and that's music :)

if you study both choirs, they have their own weakness and strengths, Madz has this celestial ish sound that is really great for sacred music, that's their forte, UST Singers produce robust striking sounds which is excellent for songs by composers like Eric Whitacre, this is just one of the profound skills these choirs have. . .
a prayer fitting of these troubled times

you're amazing and the song is fantastic.
I LOVE YOU!!! :)

tinatanong po kasi ni ydnarfive8 kung sino ang may copy ng piece na toh.
sorry po ulet!

It ia supposed to be powerful and actually somewhat intimidating...this is the best one for me.
this isnt d whole song. they only sang the 1st and 3rd movement. This is a song sung by "baylans" or witch doctors to drive away the evil spirits by scaring them.

so..... peace!
seryosong seryoso ka jan eh :D
UST singers totally own this piece, as much as Madz own Eres Tu.
Whoa! Trademark!!! :)
sa czech republic po.
I think the pitch is spot on.

This was around 2004.

hehe.. favorite mo mangaway noh? hehe.. galing naman. from UP and UST ka pla. i see.. from UP lang ako eh.. MADZ is the best pa rin :D (kulit)
May sinusundan akong score eh. After nung fermata di ko na nasundan.
