A Piano Music

I met Kate Ortiz when I, together with Chrys and Eric John, gave a retreat to Musmos last semestral break. Kate has a brother, Angelo. I met him once but I heard his music a lot of times. I listened to eight of his composition, thanks to Kate. There was so much passion in the way he played his music. He glided the eighty-eight white and black keys like a butterfly floating from one flower to the other. His music did not wax on pretension. It reflected a soul -- tranquil, sublime -- yet, was able to maintain a spirit that was both elegant and bouyant. Listening to his music, at least for me, reminded me of the word serenity.

Last November 9, Angelo launched his first album at the Podium in Ortigas. The title was Serenity, the piano music of Angelo Ortiz. I was not able to go there for I was in Tuguegarao with my Community. Good luck to Angelo.
