The Art of Harana— Serenades for Guitar
by Florante Aguilar
Copyright 2003 Arkipelago Productions, California

Harana is a traditional form of courtship in the Philippines in which a man woos a woman's affection by singing underneath her window. The Art of Harana is a collection of these songs arranged for the guitar. It attempts not only to preserve but also to elevate this music to concert level.
