In the early 1900s, Francisco Buencamino taught music
at the Ateneo de Manila and at the Centro Escolar de
Senoritas. At the latter, he founded the Conservatory of
Music and was its head until 1938. At the same time, he
also handled music lessons at the Liceo de Manila. He
founded the Buencamino Music Academy in 1930. It was
authorized by the Department of Public Instruction to
grant music degrees. Some of his pupils were Nicanor
Abelardo, Ernestina Crisologo, Estela Velasco, Beatrice
Alba, and Amelia Hidalgo. In the 1940s, he started
working as a musical director. He also composed music
for films produced by Sampaguita Pictures, LVN and
Excelsior. For a time, Francisco Buencamino frequently
acted on stage. He also collaborated on the plays written
and produced by Aurelio Tolentino. The Philippine Music
Publishers, which Buencamino established, undertook the
printing of his more important compositions, but it was
not a successful venture.
CENTRO ESCOLAR DE SENORITAS
Some of the sarswelas he wrote are: "Marcela" (1904), "Si Tio Celo"
(1904) and "Yayang " (1905). In 1908, the popularity of
the sarswela started to wane because of American repression and the
entry of silent movies. Francisco Buencamino then turned to
composing kundimans.
One of his earliest compositions is "En el bello Oriente" (1909),
which uses Jose Rizal's lyrics. "Ang Una Kong Pag-ibig", a
popular kundiman, was inspired by his wife. In 1938, he composed
an epic poem which won a prize from the Far Eastern University
during one of the annual carnivals. His "Mayon Concerto" is
considered his magnum opus. Begun in 1943 and finished in 1948,
"Mayon Concerto" had its full rendition in February 1950 at the
graduation recital of Rosario Buencamino at the Holy Ghost
College. "Ang Larawan" (1943), also one of his most acclaimed
works, is a composition based on a Balitaw tune. The orchestral
piece, "Pizzicato Caprice" (1948) is a version of this composition.
Many of his other compositions were lost during the Japanese
Occupation, when he had to evacuate his family to Novaliches,
Rizal.
As a musical director, he was
involved in anumber of movies such
as "Mabangong Bulaklak", "Ang
Ibong Adarna", "Mutya ng Pasig",
and "Alitaptap".

16th of October, 1952. in the same
year, he was given a posthumous
Outstanding Composer Award by
