50TH BIRTHDAY PARTY AT THE LITTLE SISTERS OF THE POOR

The Little Sisters of The Poor, an international Religious congregation, in Pasay City run a home for the elderly where we performed for a birthday celebration at their main function room. More tables outside the hall for other guests were provided. A special place was set for the elderly for their entertainment.

The house is for older people, 65 years and above, who are abandoned, others found on streets  and the rest turned over by the Department of Social Welfare to the Home of the Little Sisters of the Poor.  They depend on God’s Providence working through generous benefactors.  It is such a relief that a place like this exists for elders who need comfort and a sort of longing until their last moment.  And nuns can do the sincerest task for them.

My brother, Manny Lupato, had an interlude with one dying woman with no relative to be found and his story pinched my very soul. She also asked for Ensure milk and my brother handed an undisclosed bill to one of the sisters to grant her simple wish. It’s such an experience for him and signalled me a lesson.

Well, we as music artists did the best we can to liven the party with not only upbeat songs and music but some love songs. Others joined by rendering some songs for the celebrant and some dance numbers that surprised Jessielyn, the birthday girl.

Augustine Music and Events performs all kinds of music and songs that fit the theme of the celebration. We do their music requests on the spot or they can perform them with the able hands of great Philippine Musicians who are not only into weddings but all events requiring music entertainment.

Such relief was felt for another experience sharing our love of music. Someday we will go back at The Little Sisters of The Poor Home to serenade the elderly with songs of the past.

A Wedding Near Tagaytay - Augustine Music and Events

A wedding destination was set for a 2 pm at a quaint church in Silang, Cavite a distance away from a rough road but the grandeur of Antonio de Padua Church stands as a solemn replica  for devotion. The place is such a delight to watch and have photos with. It really started on time with wedding musicians of Augustine Music and Events doing the solemn music from the processional march down to the recessional march. A relative did the bridal march singing their favorite song.

Almost all where teary eyed when the marital vows were exchanged by Ace and Melissa and spoke of their true love with each other despite their differences. There was no music opted during their exchange of vows and their words of love revealed their intense feeling for each other. It is such delight watching a wedding where guests don’t make much hush making solemn of a place. And this intensify a romantic set-up matching a certain wedding theme with the couple’s favorite songs and music played by dedicated musicians of the Philippines.

The wedding reception was held at Teofely’s Garden located near the national highway going to Tagaytay and fascinated by the place. You have to walk through a slim road but not that far to reach the venue but the moment you step into the entrance beholds such neat and wide space fit for many guests especially weddings. The wedding program started a bit late to catch up with shimmery light of darkness for a romantic feel of the place and it was indeed a very cozy wedding affair with the usual program where traditions are met, messages said, music played and games spiced up the celebration.

From our side, being performers of any affair, we enjoyed the moment having explored another unique kind of a wedding reception venue. This is another wedding destination fulfilled by Augustine Music and Events.

CORPORATE EVENTS MUSICIANS - AUGUSTINE MUSIC AND EVENTS

Corporate Events Musicians Plays Upbeat

The intimacy of events like corporate makes a musician feel important because guests on such a party appreciate performers and it is elating, to say. The music required doesn't need to be studied or pretentious but adding spirit during such special event is enough to be truly called corporate events musicians and musicians in the Philippines are gifted, undoubtedly.

This is the moment, too to showcase the versatility of true artist switching from classical to something upbeat or fast music and variety is magic to the ears. And playing favorite tunes is heartwarming and affective, thinking for the guests' entertainment. True, we can not please anybody but doing music of the past and the moment is safe. It is really called for events musicians to be imaginative often, isn't so?.

We had several corporate performances and the work is longer but that doesn't disturb us professional musicians. Still, quality is maintained and we always say to ourselves that music is a gift and it is worth sharing.

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
