Bicol University Hymn Instrumental (How it Should Be Interpreted)

The Bicol University Hymn was composed by Mr. Bobbie Garcia on February 25, 1971 when he was still a teacher of the Bicol Teachers College (now the Bicol University College of Education). It only became the university's official hymn during the term of Dr. Fay Lea Patria Lauraya as the university president.

As Mr. Garcia would always emphasize, what he composed is a HYMN. A hymn is characterized as serene and heartfelt, unlike the lively cadence of a march. It turns out that this is being sung in a marching rhythm. It is in this reason that I have orchestrated this rendition to faithfully follow how the composer intended his composition to be interpreted.

Great credits to the ‪@TheBicolUniversity‬ for the original video of the university hymn.

Bicol University Hymn
Music and Lyrics: Bobbie A. Garcia
Orchestrated by: Victor R. Buenconsejo

This is a school we wish to sing of
A school to honor and revere
A temple built by men of firmness
A mould for youth who walks with pride

For thee we'll always be united
Although we tread on distant lands
We all shall cherish what you've taught us
That you wholeheartedly gave forth

//: Bicol University
Burning torch of wisdom
Fount of courage, hope, and love
Seat of truth and light. ://
