Prison Sessions- Ericson and Nato :  "Kay Hirap ng Buhay" (Reyes)

Ang awit na Palad, sa panulat ni Ericson Acosta ay isa sa pinakamakapangyarihang obra ng makata. Tinatalakay nito, sa malalim na paraan, ang inhustisya sa buhay ng mga nagpapagal pero walang natatamasang yaman.

Ang demo track ay nasa key of A para sa verse bago lumipat sa key of C para sa koro. May 3/4 time signature at tempo na 120bpm ang demo na ito.

Palad Demo

This is a recording of the 100-person October Revolution Centennial Chorale, done on May 5, 2017, to celebrate 100 years of the Great October Socialist Revolution led by Lenin and the Bolsheviks. This particular recording was done on a Zoom H4 and captures the voices as they are heard at the UP Film Center. The conductor of the chorale is Rica Nepomuceno of the UP College of Music. The accompaniment was arranged by Karl Ramirez. The members of the chorale are activists from different sectors. A final mix of the May 5 recording session will be out soon, as part of our year-long celebration.
