“Nanay, Tatay” is one of the most popular hand clapping games for children in the Philippines. The chant is in the Tagalog language and the game is played by two or more players while clapping. At the end of the chant, the players count one to ten while clapping their hands. If any player misses count or make a mistake, they will get their ear pinched. This piece is part of a commission of four Asian-Canadian choral compositions by Dr. Tracy Wong, all of which are available on the Tracy Wong Series.
