THE DIANA MUSIC is a March played in 2/4 time signature ( to be discussed in a coming lesson ) .
Photos portray Asingan town fiesta activities in the absence of pictures showing the Yuletide spirit in our town. Some photos came from the Pangasinan.Org website and a few were given years ago by OCTOARTS a company owned by Mr. Alfredo Gelacio Jr.
When December 16 rolled around in Asingan during the '50s and early '60s, this traditional Dawn Mass is heralded by a 5 piece brass band made of a trombone, a clarinet, a saxophone, a snare drum and a bass drum. They would rouse the Poblacion people up so they could attend the 4:00 am High Mass. There would be a HIGH MASS ( Misa Cantada ) sang by music volunteers.
When the Diana was stopped or scrapped from the Christmas Church agenda, canned music blaring out from the speakers atop the church tower took its place. ..
The music was written by an unknown composer and it has a happy, lilting tune in the spirit of Christmas the happiest holiday all through out the world.---#
