 He was also a faculty member of
the University of the Philippines’
Conservatory (now College) of Music
Molina was a product of both the
Romantic and Impressionist schools
of thought.
He was fascinated by the dynamics and
harmonies of Debussy, but retained much
of the Romantic style in his melody.
 A characteristically impressionist work is
Malikmata
his piano work
(Transfiguration).
 The mysteriously exotic chords of
this piece gradually lead to a
lyrical melody, with the traditional
harmonies abruptly returning to
the initial mood. Molina wrote
several compositions for piano,
violin, and voice as well as a
Spanish-style opera form known as
the zarzuela.
He is best known for his
poignantly romantic serenade
for violin and piano
Hatinggabi.
Subsequent transcriptions of
this piece were written for
the cello, flute, piano, and
guitar.
