Vocal Music and Instrumental Music of Palawan

Tultul(epic chant)- song in Palawan . to sing tultul is to be possessed by a Tw Tultultuln. These Epic Heroes are a type ofhumanity who live in the median space and intercede between people on this earth and mpuq. They are a BenevolentHumanity protecting the Real Men. The act of chanting thus doubles with the embodiment, in the very person of the bard, ofthese heroic and semi-divine Beings. One can interpret this relationship as an act of possession in which the bard becomes amedium. Epics are always chanted at night, ending at daybreak; it is forbidden to sing when the sun shines and during theday. This prohibition links the epic to the night and a sacred world. Moreover, one would never chant for amusement in alight joking manner. the tultul refers to natural celestial, atmospheric, cosmogonic, visible, and invisible events and manifests

these events in an indirect or rather allusive manner.Ulit- The shaman sings the difficult experience of the voyage of his double, kuruduwa, by a specific chant, the lumbaga, whosemelody is in all points assimilable to any epic melodic line. And it is precisely the ordeals that the soul of the shamanovercomes in the course of his voyagethe encounters with the Evil Doers, Lnggam or Sqitan, the discussions, thebargaining engaged in with the Invisible Beingsthat constitute the shamanic chant. In a seance of ulit, for instance, thisacolyte follows the double of the shaman up to the jar of the Master of Rice, mpuq t Parj, and through his own body-trancemanifests the state of drunkenness of the shamans very soul. In the same manner, the accompanist with a small ring flutefollows the voice of the bard. According to my observation, the companion of the shamans double or of the bards voice wasalways one and the same personKlulut, the acolyte of Usuyand this association does not seem to be mere chance.Finally, the experience of acquiring clairvoyant power and creative power are closely related, as we shall see. In addition, inthe Bagobo language, in Mindanao, the term ulit actually means epic. This permutation of meaning of the same lexical itembetween the two languages, Bagobo and Palawan, is certainly very revealing of the conceptual ambivalence of ulit and tultul,which is conveyed by the very person of the bard-shaman and his practice in this society of the Sulu Sea cultural area, as has

also been observed in other Southern Philippine societies.Aruding -An instrument made of a small piece of bamboo. This is called "jaw's harp" in English. It is placed near the mouthand blown to produce sound.This musical instrument can be made by using a bolo or "itak". A stick of bamboo is carved and a pebble is stuck to helpproduce the sound while an extract of honey is used to put the pieces together. An ideal tool to make this delicate instrumentwould be a small knife because the intricate design of the instrument demands the use of a thin, sharp object.Babarak- smallest bamboo flute in PalawanSuling- bamboo ring fluteBasal(Gong)- a circular metal platelike percussion instrument, usually having a turned-down rimKusyapiq(lute)- On the Philippines the long boat-lute with two strings is still quite popular in some areas. It exists undermany different names, although they all look quite similar : kudlung, fagelung, hegalong, hagelung, kudyapi, kutyapi, kusyapi,ketiyapi, etc. It is mainly called kudlungin the south and kudyapiin the north. For the kudyapiused by the Palawan tribe seeunder.Pagang(bamboo Zither)- Penan bamboo harp which is made of bamboo.

Grammar Rules for Possessive Nouns

Five basic grammar rules cover the majority of instances where writers encounter possessive nouns.Rule #1: Making singular nouns possessive

Add an apostrophe + s to most singular nouns and to plural nouns that do not end in s.Youll use this rule the most, so pay particular attention to it. English has some words that are plural but do notadd an s. Words like children, sheep, women and men are such words. These plural words are treated as if theywere singular words when making noun possessives.Examples:

Singular nouns: kittens toy, Joes car, MLBs rulingPlurals not ending in s: womens dresses, sheeps pasture, childrens toysRule #2: Making plural nouns possessive

Add an apostrophe only to plural nouns that already end in s.You dont need to add an extra s to plural nouns that already end withthe letter s. Simply tuck the apostropheonto the end to indicate that the plural noun is now a plural possessive noun.Examples:

Companies workersHorses stallsCountries armiesRule #3: Making hyphenated nouns and compound nouns plural

Compound andhyphenated words can be tricky. Add the apostrophe + s to the end of the compound words or the

last word in a hyphenated noun.Examples:My mother-in-laws recipe for meatloaf is my husbands favorite.The United States Post Offices stamps are available in rolls or in packets.Rule #4: Indicating possession when two nouns are joined together

You may be writing about two people or two places or things that share possession of an object. If two nounsshare ownership, indicate possession only once, and on the second noun. Add the apostrophe + s to the secondnoun only.Examples:

Jack and Jills pail of water featuresprominently in the nursery rhyme.Abbot and Costellos comedy skit Whos On First is a classic act.Rule #5: Indicating possession when two nouns are joined, and ownership is separate

This is the trickiest of all, but thankfully youll probably need this rule infrequently. When two nouns indicateownership, but the ownership is separate, each noun gets the apostrophe + s. The examples below may help youunderstand exactly what this means.Example:

Lucys and Rickys dressing rooms were painted pink and blue. (Each owns his orher own dressing room, andthey are different rooms).Senator Obamas and Senator Clintons educations are outstanding. (Each senator owns his or her education, but

they attained separate educations).

Possessive pronounsare those designating possession. They may also be used as substitutes for noun phrases,and they are typically found at the end of a sentence or clause. There are only a few possessive pronouns in the

English language, and there are only two specific rules for using them correctly. Keep these rules in mind whenusing possessive pronouns, and youll discover that writing properly is easier.Like its name suggests, a possessive pronoun indicates ownership.Possessive pronouns do not contain apostrophes.A possessive pronoun is used to avoid repeating information that has already been made clear. These usefulpronouns make sentences less confusing, as youll see when you read the following sentences containing

examples of possessive pronouns.Examples of Possessive PronounsThe following sets of sentences illustrate how possessive pronouns provide clarity. Possessive pronoun examplesare italicized.This is my cat, not your cat. (Sounds repetitive)This cat is mine, notyours.I didnt have my bookso Jenny lent me her book. (Sounds repetitive)I didnt have my book, so Jenny lent me hers.Your caris a lot faster than my car. (Sounds repetitive)Your car is a lot faster than mine.Common Noun ExamplesPossessive pronouns are often accompanied by common nouns. The following are some examples of commonnouns that are frequently used in the same sentences as possessive pronouns.I

ItYouMeThisThatHimHerTheyWeThem

Indefinite Pronouns

Indefinite pronouns, like collective nouns, can be singular or plural, depending on how they are used in a sentence.Singular indefinite pronouns take a singular verb; plural indefinite pronouns take a plural verb. Here are someguidelines to follow:Indefinite pronouns that end in -oneare always singular. These words include anyone, everyone, someone, and oneIndefinite pronouns that end in -bodyare always singular. These words include anybody, somebody, nobody.The indefinite pronouns both, few, many, others, and severalare always plural.You Could Look It UpIndefinite pronounsrefer to people, places, objects, or things without pointing to a specific one. SeeParts ofSpeech for a complete description of indefinite pronouns.The indefinite pronouns all, any, more, most, none, and somecan be singular or plural, depending on how they areused.

Demonstrative pronounsare easy to remember because they are often accompanied by a demonstration: whenwe speak, we use our hands to show them. For the demonstrative pronouns this, that, these,and those, we pointwith our finger or gesture with our hands in the general direction of the thing were talking about. For the

demonstrative pronouns noneand neither, we often make a gesture implying rejection or emptiness.This: singular and close to the speakerIll have this little chocolate cake.That: singular and relatively far away from the speakerIll also have that strawberry cake, the one on the bottom shelf.These: plural and close to the speakerIll have three of these walnut biscuits.

Numbers in English

In English, we have several different categories of numbers.The main category is Cardinal numbers. Cardinal numbers are the regular ones: one, two, three, four, etc. Id like to order fifteen pizzas, please.Rome fell about 1600 years ago.My phone number is 555-8593.The Cardinal numbers can be used in the negative. This can be seen when reading about weather or financing, forexample.Its minus ten degrees outside!That cat is so stupid, I think his I.Q. is -4.Catys bank balance is somewhere around -$100.The next category of numbers is the Ordinal numbers. We use these to show the order of something, such as withdates. They are based on the Cardinal numbers but have different endings.The woman was in her ninth month of pregnancy and was feeling uncomfortably large.Sasha came in third in the race.He was born on May 5th.

Just as we can have negative numbers, we can also have parts of numbers; these are the fractions and decimals.I only had half a cup of tea this morning.The television screen took up two-thirds of the wall.The average North American family is said to have 2.3 children.The business annual income only increased by 0.7% last year.
