Light jazz music is the easiest to perform not because of the melody but the freedom to express the message of the piece. It also calls for musician who has the passion to interpret the song or music in line with the vocal rendition matching the feel of the singer to create the magic of a song. It doesn't require you to be musically schooled to perform such a feat. It also needs the ear for sentiment inherent in each of us. The more sensitive you are, the better performer can you be. 

Well, music has to be learned first to know its nuances and to exact the melody according to what it intends to send. Everyone can interpret or play particular music or piece but what sets you apart is the difference of talent, meaning a gift given to you especially if you are a singer. And the musician who rules such perfection can enhance the vocal part for both to shine. Of course, the vocalist has to match the cadence of a true artist.


 An example of such performance doesn't require you to raise your voice or reach high notes. The fluidity of carrying a tune is akin to a conversation where there's no need to raise voices but naturally expresses one's feeling. Even when joining a singing contest, it irritates the judges when you belt too much. They still long for someone who knows how to control his or her voice. What is singing for but control.

Wedding Website Philippines - Augustine Music and Events


I started creating website for fun and still is. For me, this is a personal vehicle to let others know some information worth sharing. I experimented on colors and layouts. Even designs I found enticing not realizing there is more to a website than colors, designs and flair creating so. I admit that I do this to make my group known. What are websites for but to strengthen a brand name?

Augustine Music and Events was put solely to share passion for music and the expertise of making a wedding stress free for the bride and the groom.

Our music is akin to expression of its beauty and doing justice to this gift entails the right people to deliver. Wedding musicians of the group are there not just for the money but sharing the gift bestowed upon them refreshes the feeling of being called real troupers – premiere musicians here in the Philippines where great performers are found.



Thank God for such a vehicle. A website is a portal of anything you want to put into it in accordance to what your intentions are. Being a wedding supplier allows me the privilege to inform what we do best. A wedding website is here for us to share.

Wedding Singer Philippines - A Song For You


A Song For You
I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs and I've made some bad climbs
I've acted out my life in stages with ten thousand people watching
Oh, but we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be, I've treated you unkindly
Oh, but Darling can't you see that, there's no one more important to me
Baby, baby, can't you see through me, 'cause we're alone now
And I'm singing this song to you, you taught me precious secrets
Of a true love withholding nothing, you came out in front
When I was hiding, yeah, yeah, but now it's so much better
If my words don't quite come together, please listen to the melody
'Cause my love is in there somewhere hiding
I love you in a place where there is no space or time, I love you for my life
You are a friend of mine, and when my life is over
Remember, remember, remember when we were together
And we are alone now, and I was singing this song to you
We were alone, and I was singing, yeah singing
We were alone, and I was singing this song for you
Singing my song, I'm singing my song for you

Band For Weddings - Augustine Music and Events





"You And I"

Here we are
On earth together
It's you and I
God has made us fall in love
It's true
I've really found
Someone like you
Will it stay
The love you feel for me
Will you say
That you will be by my side
To see me through
Until my life is through
Well in my mind
We can conquer the world
In love you and I
You and I, you and I...
I'm glad
At least in my life
I've found someone
That may not be here forever
To see me through
But I found strength in you
Cause in my mind
You will stay here always
In love you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I
In my mind
We can conquer the world
In love you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I...

How A Wedding Musician Feels

Even just a simple word or sincere text encompasses the feeling of a music provider such as wedding musicians who feel the need of recognizing what are due them. The fun of sharing beautiful music as adding comfort for people who seek for a certain lullaby even to the extent of drowsing is consolation. It signals realization that appreciation is inherent and the need to accept the truth gathers the idea that all artists, especially a musician deserves accolade in any manner possible.


The wedding arena is an easy spot to deliver what is inherent from an artist of involving oneself to the reality of wonder. Why do we keep the music playing but to entertain and just a mere applause timidly done is enough to say, "you are good, man!" That is considered. An artist of any genre is sensitive and the passion still creeps to share something of the beautiful. Maybe, it is more than the price of money. It is a gift from God worth sharing and why are we here for in this vast universe but to contribute. Music is our contribution - beautifully romantized piece that speaks the language of the soul. It really matters that a music of all time is perfectly instilled in one's imagination. It is a sort of educating someone whose ears are far beyond recognizing wonderful melody.


A musician is a story teller. A singer impacts the message. They work hand in hand in crafting the magic of passionate performance not just to expose dullity. Intelligence is needed to make a musician feels to truly understands that not all appreciates. It is easy to say that I enjoy your lyrical interpretation of a song or your mastery of music but how is it meant for? All are artists and pretending being mesmerized is doubtful. Critics always find the bad side of a person's point of rising. I mean, his elevation to greatness because a critic wants to capture such gift. He wants the easy way to destroy. He is a jealous artist. He craves to win to the expense of dealing with the bad side of nature, instead of enjoying the heartfelt share of a truly bloodied musician.


The world turns dull and dreary when beauty is diminished. A music unexplored dims the side of the universe making only the droplets of rain as added sound around. But it doesn't compete with what is considered as melody. The harmony of sound gathered in a manner of speaking is rare but to listen to it is the hard part. It comes from one's soul. It explains why we want to enjoy life. It connects to the craving for what is true and beautiful. And when felt, it is an awakening.


Each has its own way of a dealing. Even just a song intended to be heard when done rightly is a sign of release. What more with those whose passion for something is immersed. It is such delight feeling the obligation of tending the roots of upcoming artistry that surprises. Wedding musicians exemplify the true care of what music is all about. The magic of melody sensitizes the angry heart. It elevates sanity. It creates a space of believing that anybody can create magic in the air. Are we not magicians in our own right?


Truly, there is nothing unpleasant in a song even performed hazardously, to say harsh. Still, the message injects hurt, perhaps. Pain from desolated soul, too. What is considered is trying something else. Maybe a love song plays trust. It might ring in your ears a real romance and awakes the artist in you. We are all sparrows in the field trying to find a niche. Maybe someday I'll hit the right cord to meet the standard of a world class Filipino artist.Or greater.


The field of wedding music is a great ground to be in. It explains your side of profession not just sharing real entertainment. True, when professional rendition is put then you are defined as remarkable but how long can you sustain your class act to the best it can be? Just enjoy your time living the life of musical invasion. That way, it zeroes you to the pedestal of wanted musicians. And for how long decides what your intentions are in coming. Wedding music, wedding songs, classical music interpretation, solemn live music are great parts of a show. Be proud being a wedding musician. And I am.

FERNBROOK GARDENS WEDDING DESTINATION: AUGUSTINE MUSIC AND EVENT

Supposedly, it was a Christian garden ceremony but because of the incoming typhoon the couple decided to do it indoor and all guests were informed timely to start the ceremony around 5pm inside the Colonial Hall of Fernbrook Gardens that typifies golden splendor. Music prelude was performed by Augustine Music before the rites began expecting some other guests. The wedding musicians kept playing until the ceremony started.

The first to enter was an American Pastor before the procession began. A relative of the groom sang during the processional march and when the bride walked the aisle, a popular song as instrumental music was rendered by the remarkable musicians of the Philippines. The wedding rites went so well and some touching moments where the couple on their own words exchanged wedding vows.

During the lighting of the candle and signing of contract, Augustine Music performed the most requested wedding music, “Canon in D”. It is the most popular music for weddings not only Catholic weddings or Christian weddings but all rites where solemnity is called for. Maybe, another composition will emerge and also become top wedding music that can withstand the test of time like Canon in D that has been used for 150 years and it is still being used for weddings.

The Multinational Baptist Church Choir took over during the pictorial as we proceeded to the reception venue ready for our music when the guests were received. The pictorial for thirty minutes and the guests kept coming as we performed popular requested reception music.

The wedding reception program started with the brother of the groom and the brother of the bride hosting the program. There were some lull moments but wedding music from wedding musicians filled them doing their favorites. Being young couple, their wedding music list were of the popular foreign music without any Filipino music. Well, that was their choice and being the performers must do what they want with a little suggestion to music choices but still theirs prevail.

The prepared wedding program went well and a little longer than expected but more guests still stayed ready for the DJ for some dance music, also to enjoy the myriad of colors scattered all around.

Weddings in the Philippines are romantic in nature and a great time to meet old friends and relatives from far and near to share lavish feast prepared by the couple. It is also a time where best clothes are worn, expensive jewelries are displayed and the best you standing with the rest celebrating the best wedding possible with beautiful music floating in the air, all wedding suppliers giving the best service at hand but most of all anticipating the marital bliss for the newlyweds.

Best wedding music, popular love songs, best food, solemn wedding ceremony, well-prepared wedding program, unique wedding souvenirs, wedding gifts for the couple and all that you can think about making a wedding day truly a special dream wedding is there for you at hand. A Filipino Wedding is kept to last forever.
