Turumba sa Birhen The Turumba sa Birhen is the song for the tradition with the same name in honor of the Nstra. Sra. de los Dolores de Turumba, the SOON TO BE CORONADA from the ‪@turumbashrine‬ of Pakil, Laguna. The word turumba is alleged to be from the Tagalog phrase “Natumbá sa lakí ng tuwâ” ("Had trembled in great joy"). The first turumba in the icon's honor was held on September 14, 1788. The image, according to tradition, belonged to some missionaries who crossed Laguna de Bay in a launch. When the launch was shipwrecked, some of its relics were washed ashore including the icon of the Virgin. One Friday morning, some fishermen found the icon in their nets. Believing it to be a religious image, they decided to bring it to a parish church. When the men carried the small painting, they found it too heavy. They tried sailing in directions with three icon until they brought it to the shore near Pakil Church. When they headed that way, the wind and current aided their course. Upon landing, they left the heavy image on a rock so they could continue their fishing duties. A group of women found the icon the following Sunday morning. Although it had rained during the night, the canvas was miraculously dry. When they tried to take the icon away, they could not move it; even the strongest among them, Mariangga, could not lift it. They quickly told the parish priest, who in turn called the sacristans, choristers, and churchgoers at Mass to fetch the image. As they lifted the icon, it gave way. The townsfolk around began to sing and dance, giving birth to the turumba. The iconic song of the Turumba was composed by Prof. Julian Balita, with additional lyrics from Inigo Vito. This orchestration is by yours truly. Kindly message me if you want to purchase a copy of the piece.
