The second piece from Sir Vian's successful UST Choral Conducting Level 2 Exam repertoire is full of rhythmic energy and joyful storytelling: Segalariak by Josu Elberdin.

Inspired by Basque rural life, the work depicts a lively harvesting competition among farmer friendsโ€”filled with camaraderie, humor, and spirited rivalry. Elberdin transforms this everyday scene into a vibrant choral work bursting with life and character.

The piece is especially notable for its rhythmic vitality and frequent shifts between 6/8 and 3/4, creating a playful yet demanding musical texture that requires precision, agility, and ensemble unity.

Performed through the collaboration of Ictus Vocal Ensemble and Vox Aetheria, under the direction of Sir Vian Virreld Bustamante, this piece highlights both technical discipline and joyful musical expression.

The final piece from Sir Vian's successful UST Choral Conducting Level 2 Exam repertoire is a powerful and celebratory work: Gloria in Excelsis Deo by Cha Hye-won.

Based on Luke 2:14, this contemporary choral composition proclaims the angelic hymn of praiseโ€”โ€œGlory to God in the highestโ€โ€”with brilliance, reverence, and uplifting intensity. Originally recognized in the 1st Andong Choral Music Composition Festival (Mixed Choir Category, Bronze Prize), the work reflects a modern yet deeply spiritual interpretation of a timeless sacred text.

Through its dynamic writing and expressive choral textures, the piece builds a profound sense of awe and celebration, embodying both the joy of proclamation and the depth of worship.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Jim Tan for his exceptional piano accompaniment, whose artistry brought depth, energy, and life to the performance, greatly enhancing the overall musical experience.

Performed through the collaboration of Ictus Vocal Ensemble and Vox Aetheria, under the direction of Sir Vian Virreld Bustamante, this piece stands as a fitting and triumphant conclusion to the program.

May this music uplift and inspire as it proclaims its message of glory and peace.

We celebrate the successful completion of the UST Choral Conducting Level 2 Exam by Sir Vian!

This milestone was made even more meaningful through a special collaboration between Ictus Vocal Ensemble and Vox Aetheria, under the direction of Sir Vian Virreld Bustamante. It was a shared journey of discipline, musical sensitivity, and unity as we brought each piece to life on stage.

Our heartfelt appreciation also goes to THE Sir Fidel G. Calalang Jr. for generously sharing his guidance, technical insights, and performance tips. Your mentorship played a vital role in shaping a more refined and expressive musical output.

We would also like to extend our sincerest gratitude to Mr. Jim Tan, whose masterful piano accompaniment gave depth, color, and life to the performance. Your artistry and musicianship provided a strong foundation for the group and greatly enriched the musical experience for both performers and audience alike.

For this examination, we performed:

๐ŸŽถ Ave Maris Stella โ€” Edvard Grieg
๐ŸŽถ Segalariak โ€” Josu Elberdin
๐ŸŽถ Gloria in Excelsis Deo โ€” Cha Hye-won

Every successful performance is built on preparation, collaboration, and trust. Thank you to everyone who contributed their time, effort, and artistry to this meaningful experience.

Congratulations once again, Sir Vian, on this well-earned achievement in your UST Choral Conducting journey! May this be one of many more milestones ahead.

Last night was more than just a performance โ€” it was a moment.
Every note, every beat, and every ounce of energy on that stage came from pure passion and dedication.

Special thanks to our founder, Sir Dhong Zamora, the lyricist of Masasakang Banal, and to our conductor, Sir Vian Virreld Bustamante, who is also the composer of Masasakang Banal, for their unwavering support, patience, and guidance that made this performance possible. ๐Ÿค

To the organizers, and everyone who made the night possible, thank you for giving us a stage to share our music and express ourselves.

To everyone who watched, supported, and vibed with us throughout the performance โ€” thank you so much.

And to those who missed it, hereโ€™s a glimpse of what went down.
