INQ7.net with GMA 7
NATIONAL Artist for music Jose Maceda died due to a lung ailment at his
Quezon City home, GMA Network's "Flash Report" said.
He was 87.
Maceda's death at 10 p.m. Wednesday came a week after National Artist for
literature Nick Joaquin died due to cardiac arrest.
His remains will be brought to the Abelardo Hall at the University of the
Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City, where he taught piano and
ethnomusicology from 1952 to 1990.
Maceda was proclaimed a National Artist in 1997. His acclaimed compositions
include Ugma-ugma (1963), Pagsamba (1968), and Udlot-udlot (1975).
See also his entry at the UCLA Ethnomusicology Archive
(http://www.ethnomusic.ucla.edu/Archive/biomaceda.htm), and the blurb for
his one US-released disc on Tzadik
(http://www.tzadik.com/CDSections/ComposerSeries/maceda.html), though
there's something wrong with the dates there...
