Here are more notes about "Musica Chiesa":

• MUSICA CHIESA is Italian for "Church Music".
  


• The Ensemble began their ministry at the Church of the Holy Sacrifice, University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City.
  


• Since then, Musica Chiesa anchored UP 's Catholic Students Community in prayer concerts.
  


• Their passion for their craft, the fire of faith, and the fidelity of friends strengthen their commitment to enkindle other fires through beautiful and uplifting music.
  


• With burning hearts, they are convinced that with the grace of the God of Song, they can renew church communities whether in worship or personal prayer.
  


• This year, the Philippine Jesuits celebrate 150 years since their return to the Philippines in 1859. Musica Chiesa joins this Jubilee celebration through this debut album, hoping that you will be inspired to deeper prayers and appreciation of the gift of life and mission.

Musica Chiesa CD: A Very Nice Gift Item

. Link: http://raffysaldana.blogspot.com/2009/03/musica-chiesa-cd-very-nice-gift-item.html

Last night (27 March 2009), while I was having a break from the Graduation Ceremony in Ateneo de Manila University, I chanced upon a room where music compact discs (CDs) from the Jesuit Ministry were being sold.

I "discovered" a very nice CD -- Musica Chiesa (Jesuit Chamber Music). At only one hundred fifty pesos (PhP 150) the music CD is a very good buy. I bought some copies which I intend to give to my friends.

The Musica Chiesa CD contains the following (instrumental) music:

1. "Hontiveros Overture" by Avelino Santos, Crispulo Pangilinan, and Eddie Hontiveros, SJ

2. "Huwag Kang Mangamba" by Manoling Francisco, SJ and Onofre Pagsanghan

3. "Stela Maris" by Silvino Borres, Jr, SJ and Manoling Francisco, SJ

4. "Awit ng Paghahangad" by Charlie Cenzon, SJ

5. "Panunumpa" by Jboy Gonzales, SJ

6. "Sa Dapit Hapon" by Bienvenido Tabuena and Eddie Hontiveros, SJ

7. "Pagbabasbas" by Rene Javellana, SJ, Jandi Arboleda and Manoling Francisco, SJ

ATENEO SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING OUTSTANDING STUDENT RESEARCH AWARDS AND INTERLINKS 5.0

"
The School of Science and Engineering (SOSE) of the Ateneo de Manila University announced today, 26 March 2009, the winners of the SOSE Awards for Outstanding Student Research in a
program held at 2:00 pm in CTC 201.

Twenty undergraduate research papers and 12 papers from graduate students were nominated by their respective departments for the much-awaited annual research awards under 4 categories: Undergraduate - Basic Science and Math, Undergraduate -Applied Science and
Technology, Graduate - Basic Science and Math, and Graduate - Basic Science and Technology.

Eight faculty members from the different departments constituted the Board of Judges. The written papers were first reviewed and rated, and 3 semi-finalists from each category were selected. The Semi-finalists were asked to prepare posters of their research and a
Q&A session was held with the judges last Monday, March 23.

Two finalists were selected from each category, and they were asked to make an oral presentation of their research before the judges and an audience of students and faculty.

Today, March 26, starting at 9 am, thesis papers of graduating students from the SOSE departments were displayed in an event known as "Interlinks 5". This event was held at the MVP Roofdeck until 12 noon. People from industry were invited to view the posters and ask questions from the students about their research. In the past, the Interlinks has resulted in fruitful research colllaborations with industry partners, as well as employment
of some of our students after graduation.
