Artist plays experimental extemporaneous medley combining Ma-ala-ala Mo Kaya (local), Beyond the Sunset (country song), classical Mozart, and No Other Love popular adaptation from Chopin. Medley is a continuous playing of the main melodies of different compositions arranged in succession. Variations are often made to vary the mood of the listener and the ambiance of the place. Medley may be exclusively for a particular theme like all kundiman, or all ballad, or jazz. It could be all about nature, or all religious. Or lullaby or dirge. Unedited 8.8.13
Artist plays an Opus which means in Latin, work. It is a kind of music that is created spontaneously by the artist. Music simply flows out of his playing or singing without previous known melody or pattern, except his own. One problem with Opus music is that, it cannot be played the same way again in its originality, even if it has been recorded and transcribed. Not even by the same artist. It is a wonder how the old masters preserved their Opus to this day. It is like oral literature which was passed on by word of mouth. In music by the ear. Unedited 8.8.13
