Marcelo Adonay, also known as “Palestrina* of the Philippines,” is regarded as an icon of the golden age of church music in the country and the top representative of church-trained musicians of the Spanish colonial period.
He was born in Pakil, Laguna on February 6, 1848 to parents Mariano Adonay and Prudencia Quiteria, a peasant couple. Because of poverty, he was entrusted to the priests of San Agustin Church in Manila in 1856. It was there that his innate musical talent was discovered and developed and, at the early age of 8 years old, he started learning music.
While he apprenticed as sacristan, he learned to play the organ by himself in the choir loft during breaks. Moreover, he also learned and mastered the organ, the violin, the contrabass, and the trumpet by himself. From his humble beginnings as a self-taught musician, he emerged as a composer, conductor, official church organist, maestro di capella or choirmaster of San Agustin Church, and orchestra director.
