This doesn’t sound like Madz. @_@
Are you sure this is Madz?

haha, I’m a former Himig Xientian member and we sang this song during my time. :p

Hi Ericka

Yes, it’s Madz, but probably it doesn’t sound much like them because it is a cassette-taped recording and just digitally edited. Plus the low-bitrate, it must have distorted the quality even more.

I got it from the conductor of UP Staff Choral Singers :)

And yes, the Himig Xientia’s is still the best version I’ve heard!

Oh I see. @_@

then I see what you mean by Himig Xientia’s version sounding “happier”. :p hahaha, I think because Himig’s version tends to sound… I dunno, younger, perhaps. :D

If I may ask, what batch are you from? ^___^

Oh I see.

Hm… Madz have a matured voice quality while Himig Xienita, being a high school choir, tends to sound young. Perhaps that’s why Himig’s version tends to sound happier. :)

:D If I may ask, what batch are you from? :D

Thanks for posting! ^_^

Ah! So ang naabutan niyo po ay yung magaling na batch ng Himig Xientia! (Or so I heard)

:D hehe, 2006 po ako. ^__^

Yup! After the graduated, Himig Xientia died (at least until 2001)

I don’t know what happened after that, but it seems that it was revived. :) That’s cool. Was Ma’am Sison still the one conducting? (IS she still alive?)

Comment from ericka

um… during my time, I guess you can say we revived it. :) Pero si Mrs. Lomibao po ang conductor namin. ^_^ and I’m sorry but I don’t know kung sino po si Ma’am Sison, baka hindi ko po naabutan. :(

Anyway, I say revived because during my time we were very active and we joined competitions and the like. ^_^ I don’t know if you’ve heard, we won the GMA 7 SiS Christmas Carol Competition. :D

I don’t watch TV, sorry. Congratulations though! If I remember correctly, Himig was also invited to sing at various events before.

I think it was Ma’am Lomibao who was already conducting Himig that time. It’s been so long. Ma’am Sison composed the Alma Mater song of Xientia. I would assume she’s gone by now, God bless her soul.

hahaha! It’s okay. ^_^ I don’t watch TV either, I only found out about SiS when we joined the contest. hahaha. :D

And yep! Himig did get invited to lots of different events. ^_^

Ohhh. Ma’am Sison who composed the Alma Mater! I see… Bless her soul. –.

Thanks po for dropping by my multiply! ^___^

No problem. It was really nice to know that Himig got revived. By any chance do you have recordings? :)

Comment from ericka
Time: October 4, 2007, 2:50 am

Sadly, no. :( At least not of the best batch I’ve been in. (to be honest, my last year in himig wasn’t all that great. It was nevertheless, a very good choir to be in)

I did post some videos of our SiS competition in youtube. Though I can’t guarantee quality. (even I’d be honest enough to say we don’t sound as good as we wanted to be — but we won, so that’s got to count for something (unless we won because of popularity? which would be really sad. :( )

If you’re interested you can search for “Himig Xientia” on youtube. ^_^
