Marcelo Adonay - Gloria, from the Pequeña Misa Solemne
Read his biography here. As is mentioned in the site, Adonay is often called the 'prince of Philippine liturgical music'; in life, he served as choirmaster of San Agustin church in Intramuros, certainly one of the most illustrious and venerable churches in all the country. It is really surprising that his works are not performed more often. This performance was held in the Church of the Risen Lord, a Protestant chapel in the University of the Philippines two months ago, and sung by Novo Concertante Manila under the direction of choirmaster Arwin Tan.

Huh?
This recording of Adonay’s Gloria (from my October 10, 2002 recital) was performed JOINTLY by the Novo Concertante Manila, the U.P. Staff Choral Society, the Dilaab Music Ministry, and the Ateneo College Glee Club, with Raymond Leslie Diaz (tenor soloist), Christopher Ong Arceo (bass soloist), Benjamin Día Jr. (pianist), and Christopher Reyes (myself) conducting. This is different from the other recording of Adonay’s Gloria from my April 3, 2003 recital. (You may refer to the original video in my channel: CM Reyes.)
