Books printed in Europe were made available to a European audience hungry for information about its colonies and other exotic locations. These books often included lithographs of plants and animals, prints and photographs of native inhabitants, costumes, and occasionally musical scores representing traditional folk music. Scores from these books provide us with the earliest transcriptions of traditional musical forms from the Philippines. These samples of music allow us a glimpse into the past and give 21st century musicologists the ability to piece together a history of Philippine music forms that existed in the Spanish colonial period. Comparison between the samples and present-day traditional musics still persisting alongside newer, more familiar contemporary forms and styles.
