This is a list of compositions known to exist. Many of these works may be found at the College of Music Library of the University of Philippines-Diliman. Rosendo continued to send new music back to his homeland even after emigrating to the United States. Rosendo’s family has many recent works and is working to create digital versions from his original manuscript. As titles surface and are brought to our attention they will be added to this list.
