Kasulampid is a traditional Maranao kulintang piece associated with weaving. It is associated, and can be accompanied with, ritualized weaving activities. Musical patterns here include gestures that reflect the motions of weaving.
Kasulampid
To the right are the following notations for the way the Kasulampid was taught to me.
Notation for the kulintang part is provided in both the Time Unit Box System (TUBS) and a comparable Western musical notation.
Notation for the accompanying instruments will remain in a Western-style format
The notations presented here are simplified representations for academic purposes and performances in practice may vary and are not expected to occur exactly as shown.
All mistakes are my own.
All notation has been reviewed and tested by colleagues from a variety of backgrounds:
including (but not limited to) other musicians, non-musicians, and educators.
All videos on this site are performed by the author on a Sarunay, a Kulintang variant often used by learners.
This piece was taught to me by Ronald Querian.
