What Matters Most - by the Philippine Madrigal Singers

 

I love listening to the Philippine (UP) Madrigals.  One of their members in the 70's became a choir instructor of our company's choir.  And since I love singing and appreciate good music, I joined the alto group.   Our choir was formed to participate in a going away presentation for the  company's GM who was returning to the US after a long tenure in the Philippines.  During that time, we were taught the German version of Silent Night, Dahil sa 'Yo, Dalagang Pilipino, Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, Amen, Around the World, and many more! 

Last year, Rick and I had the chance to watch a live concert of the current UP Madrigals  in New York. We enjoyed the show, and I was really very proud of this all Filipino singing group.  Great voices, great arrangements, great repertoire!

I chanced upon their rendition of this beautiful love song...and I am sharing it with  all music lovers!  This song  by them matters to me, I hope it also does to you!

Sing Me A Song Again Daddy (composed by Jose Mari Chan)

This is one of my favorite  Filipino orginal songs composed by Jose Mari Chan and sung by Cherie Gil.  She has a very beautiful voice..beautiful diction and enunciation.  I hope she'll record some more!

 

Listen to this beautiful, touching song here!
