    LUCRECIA KASILAG
    (Contemporary Philippine Music)

    Lucrecia “King” Roces Kasilag was born in San Fernando, La Union, Philippines, the third of the six children
    of Marcial Kasilag, Sr., a civil engineer, and his wife Asuncion Roces Ganancial, a violinist and a violin
    teacher.[2]:87–88 She was Kasilag's first solfeggio teacher. The second was Doña Concha Cuervo, who was a
    strict Spanish woman. Kasilag later studied under Doña Pura Villanueva, during which time performed her first
    public piece, Felix Mendelssohn's May Breezes, at a student recital when she was ten years old. Kasilag grew up
    in Paco, Manila, where she was educated at Paco Elementary School and graduated valedictorian in 1930. She
    then transferred to Philippine Women's University for high school, where in 1933 she also graduated as
    valedictorian. For college, she graduated cum laude in 1936 with a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in English, in the
    same university. She also studied music at St. Scholastica’s College in Malate, Manila, with Sister Baptista
    Battig, graduating with a Music Teacher's Diploma, major in piano, in 1939.

    During World War II, she took up composition, and on 1 December 1945, she performed her own compositions in
    a concert at Philippine Women's University. From 1946 to 1947, Kasilag taught at the University of the
    Philippines’ Conservatory of Music and worked as secretary-registrar at Philippines Women's University. She
    completed a Bachelor of Music in 1949, and then attended the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York,
    studying theory with Allen I. McHose and composition with Wayne Barlow. Kasilag returned to the Philippines,
    and in 1953 she was appointed Dean of the Philippines Women's University College of Music and Fine Arts.
    After completing her studies, Kasilag made an international tour as a concert pianist, but eventually had to give
    up a performing career due to a congenital weakness in one hand. Kasilag was instrumental in developing
    Philippine music and culture. She founded the Bayanihan Folks Arts Center for research and theatrical
    presentations, and was closely involved with the Bayanihan Philippine Dance Company.[5]

    She was also a former president of the Cultural Center of the Philippines, head of the Asian Composers League,
    Chairperson of the Philippine Society for Music Education, and was one of the pioneers of the Bayanihan Dance
    Company. She is credited for having written more than 350 musical compositions, ranging from folksongs to
    opera to orchestral works, and was composing up to the year before she died, at age 89. Lucrecia Roces Kasilag
    died due to pneumonia on August 16, 2008 in Manila, Philippines.[6]
