Early years

Gitamondoc hailed from Surigao del Sur, Philippines. His musical interests started early at age six when his brother brought home a keyboard. He went to study in Don Bosco Missionary Seminar in Lawaan, Talisay City, Cebu, [1] and was mentored by Salesian administrators and musicians who taught him the rudiments of songwriting and piano-playing. [2]

Later, he left the seminary and pursued his interests in music by enrolling at the College of Music in University of the Philippines - Diliman but quit after two semesters upon realizing that the curriculum was more focused on avant-garde music, and he was more interested in mainstream pop genre. It was during this time that he encountered Katha, [3] an organization made up of Filipino musical talents including the 1995 World Youth Day theme song composer Trina Belamide and Arnel de Pano, who composed the Basil Valdez hit song Lead me Lord. [1]

Career

Gitamondoc began his professional music career in 2001. He had created several commissioned songwriting gigs such as producing commercial jingles (Casino Rubbing Alcohol, Happy Booster Hotdogs), theme songs (Mantawi Festival Theme Song), school hymns and wedding songs. [4] His first big break was Gary Valenciano's Relevance album in 2006, to which he contributed five songs: Kailan Pa, Only a Friend, Sana Bukas, Wait Forever, and In Another Lifetime. [2] The album, however, took three years before it was released. [1]

Later productions were staged in Manila, Iloilo, Bacolod, Taiwan, USA, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Macau, New Zealand and Japan. [6] Critic Alphonzo Alegrado of Theater Fans Manila, gave a positive review of the production particularly the musical compositions of Gitamondoc, writing, "Siddharta's composer and lyricist Jude Gitamondoc is a phenomenal artist. The arrangements (some of which are inspired by the poetry of Ven. Master Hsing Yun) have layers upon layers of various instruments, creating full, resonant tones that could only be invigorated when performed by a live orchestra. " [7]

Song of Bernadette: A Musical of Our Lady of Lourdes Story

He composed for the musical "Song of Bernadette: A Musical of Our Lady of Lourdes Story." About the story of Saint Bernadette Soubirous, its first staging was held at SM City Cebu Cinema 1 on July 5–6, 2008.The production coincided with the 150th anniversary of apparition of the Virgin Mary in Lourdes, France celebrated by the Archdiocesan Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes Parish in Labangon, Cebu City.

[14] Cebu Daily News editor Eileen Mangubat reviewed the production, "There was no dull moment. The music was a delightful surprise – catchy melodies and lyrical solos that were easy on the ear. For non-theater goers, the experience left many asking if this was a Broadway show adapted for a local audience." [15]

Gugmang Giatay The Musical

Together with Rowell Ucat, Jude Gitamondoc co-wrote the Bisrock jukebox musicale, Gugmang Giatay.

[16] It was chosen by the Philippine Daily Inquirer as the Best Musical in 2017, with editor Gibbs Cadiz commenting, "While it could stand a bit more pruning and polish, this production from Cebu was a joyous blast of authentic musicality and sassy fun. It was performed completely in Cebuano (accompanied by supertitles), but one didn’t mind, because the piquant language itself, along with the repertoire of classic and contemporary Visayan melodies and the exuberant but disciplined performances of the cast, added up to a rockin’ show of unexpected sweetness and charm." [17]

You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown
