10. Synthesis
The devotional and liturgical music of the
Lowlands of Luzon reflects the impact of the Spanish
colonization which lasted for almost more than three
centuries on their lives, most especially on the faith
aspect. A lot of these are at the verge of disappearing
due to modernization and diversity of religion.
However, efforts from the youth and education
sector are joining forces in reviving long lost
traditions, if not in the most traditional way, at least,
the remnants of the Hispanic-influenced music
survive as they transform into its modern versions.
