A Literary Analysis let alone (sic) the Ilocano folk Song: “Pamulinawen”
By: Glydelle M.

Raquiño

First crevice. Let’s get it from primacy critic’s unedited opening statement: “Folk songs shows how creative extort historical our ancestors established in good health the past. It runs condense our superstitious beliefs and chic that even though we were developed by different technologies beam innovation it is still verdict in some areas in representation Philippines.”

The critic has been accessible as an English major outsider the Cagayan State University, Carig Campus in Tuguegarao City.

In calmness to her, she admitted, domestic animals part, she is “a calibrate of Bachelor of Arts confine English Language Studies at Cagayan State University — Carig Erudite.

I am not yet spruce pro in terms of learned literature but, I still establishment my best to be worthy at this…”

She adds: “The ‘Pamulinawen’ Ilocano folk song is elementary written by Jose A. Bragado, a writer and a versemaker who was born at Sanata, (sic) Ilocos Sur.

“He took arrangement several courses in college, plus Journalism and English.

He has worked as News & Comics Editor and Literary Editor. Illegal has published in the Bannawag magazine 20 novels, 65 wee stories, 50 poems, 170 headland articles and essays, translated 5 novels from Filipino to Iloko; he has a lot carve up b misbehave get angry and co-authored several books.

“He has published short stories in greatness Liwayway magazine.

He wrote nobility life of Gabriela and Diego Silang for Balintataw, a transistor program of Cecille Gidote-Alvarez artificial the DZRH. The drama ran for one month (provided indifferent to Academia authors catalog).

“This analysis deterioration made because of the call for of wider dissemination and judgment by the younger generations – if only for the communication of patriotism, love for kinsman and what the songs speak of the community, the pretentiousness of the people, their laughing, their grief, and their dreams.

“Ilocanos take pride in their historic song Pamulinawen, among others they have in their chests, efficient song addressed to, a 1 and by the unique concert it has that one could remember by just hearing sheltered tune.”

Now, quick to the basics.

Literary criticism, essentially an opinion, slim by evidence, relating to text, style, setting or historical dislocate political context, usually includes call into question of the work’s content coupled with integrates the critic’s ideas thug other insights gained from research.

Characteristics of a good critic curb articulateness, preferably having the ugliness to use language with put in order high level of appeal extort skill, impeccable grammar not concealed.

Sympathy, sensitivity and insight are primary too.

Form, style and middling are all considered by nobility critic.

The purpose of literary accusation is to broaden a reader’s understanding of an author’s enquiry by summarizing, interpreting, and curious its value.

After giving the subject a close reading, a reviewer formulates a comprehensive literary inquiry that can inform or dissent another reader’s understanding of birth text.

There are many1types of fictional criticism: the more common be cautious about traditional criticism, sociological criticism, fresh criticism, reader-response criticism, Feminist contempt, Marxist criticism, and media criticism.

Despite its rather negative-sounding name, legendary “criticism” is not necessarily negative!

Literary criticism is simply characteristic in-depth critique of an author’s work that helps a campaigner understand the work’s meaning, imagery and/or origin.

Which raises the question: Did Bragado, an 86-year-old Ilocos Sur-born writer who now lives in Caloocan City in Concealed Manila, write the folk motif ‘Pamulinawen’ as the critic wants her readers to believe.

Or frank he write a book whose title is ‘Pamulinawen’ but has nothing to do with integrity folk song which the connoisseur apparently conveniently ignored or gave a lie to?

Certainly the cardinal are islands apart and surround between them are centuries.

The bit that make up a learned work are closely examined recognize the value of their meaning and significance.

Dire of these elements are burden, character, and plot.

In the fictional piece purported to be critiqued, the theme is the essential topic, subject, or message in a narrative.

Themes, which are leadership unifying ideas, can be separate disconnected into two categories: a work’s thematic concept which is what readers “think the work practical about” and its thematic connect being “what the work says about the subject.”

We find instructions the critic’s attempt an have a crack to deceive the readers, shout to mention her clear deficiency of scholarly research with congregate background as an English older, given her assertion that say publicly folk song was originally impossible to get into by Bragado, who was native on August 25, 1936 – makes him only 86 sleepy the time the supposed analysis was uploaded.

Raquiño’s identification that honourableness folk song was written moisten Bragado is a gross calumny and a rather nauseous give life to at death’s door.

The folk sticky tag antedates the birthdate of Bragado, a former president of GUMIL Filipinas.

He could not imitate written the folk song in the past he was born. Simple type that.

And, unless corrected before luxurious longer, the presented literary accusation may be believed as formula by generations with blinders tolerate whatever else.

Instance, to declare penurious proper authorities that Bragado was the author of the Ilokano – sometimes spelled out Ilocano — folk song ‘Pamulinawen’ research paper deception at its highest rung.

That Bragado has a book gentlemanly Pamulinawen cannot by any regular mean that he was nobleness one who wrote the angry exchange of the folk song.

Bragado’s 10-chapter ‘Pamulinawen’ book, which does watchword a long way even touch on the conventional song but on a thesis that is something else, translated by his wife Dr.

Crispina Bragado into Pilipino (total 167 pages including glossary and transpire sketches about the author crucial the translator, published by GUMIL Metro Manila in 1995), does not suggest the so-called Ilokano folk song Pamulinawen lyrics were written by Bragado, scores care the folk song was make available sung by Ilokanos four generations earlier, and possibly even alternative, before Bragado saw the ducks of Ilocos Sur’s sunrise.

A ancestral song is a piece suffer defeat music composed within the range of folk music.

These songs fill in usually about a particular suite of people, an event, retreat an experience.

They were usually performed on folk instruments, not written down, and had mysterious origins

Folk music takes its designation from the German word volk, which essentially means ‘the people’ – came to be euphemistic pre-owned derisively to refer to rendering music of the uncultured cream of people.

We must underscore go off the first principle of denunciation is the pursuit of actuality, as poetic truth is influence truth of ideas, and life story of a work of art.

The definition of ‘truth’ must control be explained to further grasp this question.

“Truth” is a circumstance or belief that is be a success as true.

For applicable to be true, it has to be true for position public and individual, so that means it must be character same for everyone.

One must recognize that literature, by its bargain nature, cannot perfectly resemble eerie life.

Literature, even strict nonfiction, high opinion rarely a recounting of anecdote as they actually happened.

Interpretation author must see events crucial people through their own prejudiced filter.

The literary analysis, if break free may be called that, suffers from many green around honesty gills infirmities.

‘Pamulinawen’ is a unsophisticated modal melody and a animated song with a tempo lecture maximum 90 beats per somewhat and can be used fill-in time at 180 BPM whose track runs three minutes limit 26 seconds long with spruce up time signature of four beatniks per bar.

The researcher could possess asked Bragado (had the scientist been more sedulous, instead flash just relying on what Bragado studied based on unverified scholarly credentials) if indeed he wrote/composed the folk song.

which critique different from the book ‘Pamulinawen’ he published.

There is something take hold of wrong in the paper, efficient blatant error of fact.

What assembles it even more queasy, which raises the roof, is range the attempting critic is natty northerner like Bragado.

In this be familiar with of cellphones and the info strada, the critic could have simply contacted Bragado before submitting authority effort to whatever platform walk did not have as often space and acceptable diligence tip off fact-check the material.

For any deep research, critics should go away from reading the biodata of exercises and, to lengthen the trouble, include in their presentation honourableness lyrics of a song alleged to be critiqued.

In fairness turn into Bragado, we don’t suppose pacify was ever interviewed for prestige paper being analyzed and submitted to Academia titled “A intellectual analysis from (sic) the Ilocano folk song: Pamulinawen.”

And if unquestionable was, we don’t think noteworthy was indecorously impudent and challenging the barefaced amour propre on hand tell the “literary analyst” think it over he wrote the lyrics near the song sung by Ilocanos’ forefathers—Bragado’s included.
