00:00We will not forget the experience of the young 90s.
00:04Of course, we will not forget the experience of World Youth Day in the Philippines in 1995.
00:12We were not friends yet, Mars, but we were in the same place.
00:15Yes, Mars.
00:16Pope John Paul II visited there.
00:18And that's where we first heard this song.
00:30It's really goosebumps, right, Mars?
00:32I think we're all used to this and the new generation will also know this song.
00:37Or if you don't know, you will have a chance to know this song.
00:40Because this year is the 30th anniversary of the song Tell the World of His Love
00:45and there's a new arrangement.
00:47We will be joined live by the composer of Tell the World of His Love,
00:51none other than Trina Bellamina.
00:53Good morning!
00:54Good morning!
00:55Good morning, Trina!
00:56Hi!
00:57Oh my God!
00:58Hello, everyone.
00:58Hello, Trina!
00:59It's such an honor to meet you.
01:00It's true.
01:01It's my pleasure.
01:03You're the one who created this and we never get the chance to actually see who made it.
01:07That's right.
01:08We only know your song and we keep singing it.
01:10It's true.
01:1130 years, can you imagine?
01:12Wow! Can you imagine?
01:14Can you imagine?
01:15Right?
01:15We're old.
01:16It's beautiful.
01:18But the message of this song is very enduring.
01:21What's the story behind this?
01:22What was your inspiration when you wrote the song?
01:25Well, it was a contest in 1994.
01:28They launched a contest because the Pope was coming and they needed a theme song for World Youth Day 95.
01:35So, there's a theme,
01:36As the Father sent me, so am I sending you.
01:38That's the theme.
01:39So, I joined the contest.
01:42So, at that time, I actually only got the prize.
01:46But it's true.
01:48I really prayed before writing the song.
01:51I felt unworthy, you know.
01:55A lot of us do.
01:57Because, of course, that's God.
01:58So, I felt like,
02:00Okay, I'll join this contest and your will be done.
02:03Something like that.
02:04And the rest is history.
02:06You were blessed.
02:07Because she prayed first.
02:09She prayed first.
02:10And she surrendered everything to the Lord.
02:12It's true.
02:13And it worked.
02:14It worked.
02:15And it's been working for 30 years.
02:16It has been.
02:17I love this song.
02:18It's true.
02:19Like what you said, the message is really enduring.
02:21But until now, the song still inspires a lot of people.
02:25Even the new generation.
02:27How do you feel that even the new generation,
02:29that didn't make it to 1999,
02:31they're not yet born?
02:32Not yet.
02:33It makes me happy when new, younger people
02:37are singing the song.
02:38Because I really thought at the time
02:40that after World Youth Day, it's over.
02:42Usually, it's like that, right?
02:44But I said, oh, they're still singing at the church.
02:48So, my expectations were really exceeded.
02:52It makes me happy.
02:53It doesn't get old.
02:54For me, hearing other people singing,
02:56it still excites me.
02:58It's true.
02:59It still excites you.
03:00It's still new.
03:01It's true.
03:02And if you're still young,
03:03but you already have a legacy.
03:04Imagine that.
03:05We work so hard to grow old.
03:06I hope we can be left behind in this world.
03:08As a kid, you already saw John and Doug.
03:13John and Doug.
03:14It's true.
03:15And this year, it's the 30th anniversary of the song
03:17Tell the World of His Love.
03:18They say it's a new arrangement.
03:20Yes.
03:21Because we usually sing at churches.
03:24So, I decided to make a piece that's church-friendly.
03:29It's more simple.
03:31You know, there's no change key.
03:34There's modulation.
03:35There's repetition.
03:36It's a bit confusing.
03:37Kind of my fault.
03:39Because it was written for something else.
03:41Yes, absolutely.
03:42But for the church,
03:43I said, sometimes during recessions,
03:44they want it to be shorter.
03:45During entrances,
03:46they want it to be shorter.
03:47During communion,
03:48they want it to be longer.
03:49So, this piece is actually very flexible.
03:51And they can download the piece for free
03:54from my website.
03:55Just search it.
03:56Tell the World of His Love 30th Anniversary.
04:00On YouTube,
04:01there's a link in the description.
04:03Or just search Trina Belamede.com.
04:06You can download the sheet music for free.
04:08And then, the minus one is on Spotify.
04:12It's on YouTube.
04:14Yes, all the digital music platforms.
04:17It's available there.
04:18Oh, wow.
04:19What a gift.
04:20What a gift for all of us.
04:21It is.
04:22It's a nice way to celebrate
04:23the 30th Anniversary.
04:24It's true.
04:25You simplified it,
04:26but in reality,
04:27the churches did it.
04:28All throughout these years.
04:29Yes, it's true.
04:30The choir is amazing.
04:31Of course.
04:32Of course.
04:33Well, the best singers
04:34come from the choir.
04:35So, whether you're a good choir
04:37or a not-so-good choir,
04:39or a startle,
04:40as long as there's a heart,
04:41right?
04:42Absolutely.
04:43You can sing the song.
04:44I tried to make it easier.
04:45Congregational.
04:46There's no soloist.
04:48This version was performed
04:50by Bukas Palad,
04:51Hangad,
04:52and Ateneo Chamber Singers.
04:53Oh, nice.
04:54Those are classics.
04:56Yes, Jesuit Music Ministry artists.
04:58So, it's different.
05:00There's no soloist.
05:01It's more for the people.
05:02Yes.
05:03That's the approach.
05:04And all at the same time.
05:05Yes.
05:06Thank you so much, Ms. Rina Belamede.
