CONCERT - ROSAS PANDAN- NM High School All State Mixed Choir 2009

Sorry about the quality. I have what is really a still digital camera with video capabilities - not a video camera. Also I didn't get the whole choir - there were lots of heads in the way so my apologies to all the boys.
Anyway, this was part of the concert performance of the 2009 NMMEA New Mexico All State High School Mixed Choir under the direction of Dr. Henry Leck, singing ROSAS PANDAN, followed by a little talk by Dr. Leck.. The arrangement is by George Hernandez , the language is Visayan, and Rosas Pandan is the mythic Bisaya maiden, symbol of rustic beauty and virtue.
Here is the translation of the lyrics:
Here I am Rosas Pandan,
coming from the mountains
to be with all of you
to celebrate this festivity.

This "Balitaw" is my only offering,
the only legacy from my forefathers.
A song that is ancient,
the pride of our mountains.

Here is my "Balitaw"
as I dance beautifully to it.
It's as cool as the morning dew,
hopping like crazy!

Oh, the poor guy
as he watches the young maiden
he's drooling with excitement!
