Supreme court choir

Supreme court choir

The Supreme Court Choir of the Supreme Court of the Philippines may be considered as one of the busiest groups in the Court. Major functions of the Court will not be complete without the presence of the Choir. Its rendition of songs ranging from hymns, folk songs, Original Pilipino Music, standards to madrigals adds spice and color to lectures and formal events.

Performances

Public performances have brought the Choir to diverse venues such as the Cultural Center of the Philippines, Paco Park, PhilAmlife Auditorium, universities, hotels and sites outside Manila. The Choir regularly performs for the Madz et al. and Marian Festival concerts sponsored by the Philippine Madrigal Singers. The singers have given countless performances during the Centennial Celebrations of the Supreme Court in 2001, including the opportunity to perform with a full orchestra at the CCP.

A highlight in the Choir’s history is its participation in the impeachment trial of former President Joseph Ejercito Estrada at the Senate in January 2001.

Recordings

The Choir has four CD recordings which showcase its varied repertoire. The first was produced under the auspices of the Philippine National Volunteers Service Coordinating Agency (PNVSCA), headed by Mrs. Virginia P. Davide in 2001. This was immediately followed by a CD recording of the Supreme Court Hymn and other hymns as part of the Court’s centennial activities. The Choir produced its own CD with the live recording of its performance in the June 9, 2004 cultural presentation Handog…Himig at Musika at the Philamlife Auditorium. The latest CD recording features the favorite songs of the Chief Justice and Mrs. Artemio V. Panganiban.

The Choir has come a long way and much of its success can be attributed to its musical director Eduardo R. Nepomuceno, an alumnus of the Philippine Madrigals and a much sought-after musical arranger. Under his tutelage and guidance, the Choir has developed its own distinct sound and style which the whole judiciary could be proud of.
