A native of the Philippines, Dr. Horacio Nuguid will present selected pieces for solo piano by Filipino composers in a lecture/recital setting. A vast majority of piano works from the Philippines are unknown even among Filipino pianists. This unfortunate circumstance is the result of the very limited access pianists have had to the music scores. The few works that are published, mostly by the composers themselves, are no longer in circulation and very hard to find. Sadly, so many autograph scores of Philippine music have been destroyed or lost. Next to Warsaw, Manila was the most devastated city during World War II. The good news is that in the last year or so, there is growing interest from music organizations and individuals to gather scores of works from various Filipino composers for publication. For the past two years now, Dr. Nuguid has been compiling and editing piano pieces by Filipino composers. Dr. Nuguid's goal is to publish a reliable edition which would also be easily accessible to everyone. Dr. Nuguid also hopes that his anthology will serve as a tool in exposing the works of Filipino composers and spur growth in the appreciation of their varying styles and musical languages. The anthology-Philippine Piano Pieces-includes 25 pieces ranging from late intermediate to advanced level. The pieces selected were composed between the period of 1890 to 2022 by 16 composers. Four of the composers included are still active.
