Profile of Lucrecia Kasilag

Answer: Lucrecia R. Kasilag, National Artist of Music (1989). She was born in San
Fernando, La Union on August 31, 1918. As educator, composer, performing artist,
administrator and cultural entrepreneur of national and international calibre. She had involved
herself wholly in sharpening the Filipino audiences appreciation of music. Kasilags
pioneering task to discover the filipino roots through ethnic music and fusing it with Western
influences has led many Filipino composers to experiment with such an approach. She dared
to incorporate indigenous filipino instruments in orchestral productions, such as the prize-
winning Toccata for Percussions and Winds, Divertisement and Concertante, and the
scores of the Filiasiana, Misang Pilipino and De Profundis. Tita King, as she was fondly
called, worked closely as music director with colleagues Lucresia Reyes-Urtula, Isabel
Santos, Jose Lardizabal, and Dr. Leticia P. de Guzman and made Bayanihan Philippine
Dance Company one of the premier artistic and cultural groups in the country. Her orchestral
music include Love Songs, Legend of the Sarimanok, Ang Pamana, Philippine Scenes, Her
Son, Jose, Sisa anf chamber music like Awit ng mga Awit Psalms, Fantaisie on a 4-Note
Theme, and East Meets Jazz Ethnika. However, Kasilag died from pneumonia on August 16,
2008 at the age of 89.
