SA PINTO NG LANGIT
(At Heaven's Door)
Leon Ignacio
Arr. Bayani Mendoza de Leon
Leon Ignacio was one of the most successful and beloved Filipino composers for the zarzuela, native counterpart of the western musicale. Among his well-known zarzuelas are "Dalagang Bukid," "Alamat ng Nayon," and "Paglipas ng Dilim." He also wrote songs that today remain as fresh and heart-warming as they were in the 1930s. Songs such as "Dungawin Mo Hirang," "Lambingan," "Sa Tapat ng Bintana" continue to bring joy to singers and music lovers with their romantic ardor and lyricism.
On the same melodic plane stands "Sa Pinto ng Langit," whose beauty and emotional depth are conveyed through the guitar in an exquisite transcription by Bayani Mendoza de Leon.
