In so doing, Santos compositional style may be understood more contextually and defined more concretely. Thirteen of Santos choral works were pre-determined as representatives of the composer's most significant choral output. This collection dates from his early style as an emerging student composer to his most recent mature style. This study will uncover his use of traditional Philippine rituals and musical traditions, and innovative manipulation of text, rhythms, vocal technique, concepts of time and space, belief systems, and mythology.
