Panalangin (excerpt) (piano solo) - Apo Hiking Society

Panalangin is an Original Pinoy Music (OPM) by Apo Hiking Society. Its legendary intro is well-known by everyone in the Philippines. This song puts a smile to the faces of every listener. I hope my arrangement will do justice to this classic opm.

Difficulty: 8.0/10 - Challenging

My arrangement needs a comfortable level of playing octaves cleanly, as most of the melody throughout the song is in octaves or more. Lots of jumps in the left hand happen as well. This song is in 6/8 time signature, and needs some getting used to.

Biggest challenge: While the notes themselves aren't extremely difficult, what's challenging is bringing out the right notes while softening the less important notes e.g. melodic line. This is a common theme for both the left and right hand throughout the score. The score is also heavy in its articulation and dynamic changes, and need to be followed closely.
