Charivari
“Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons.
You will find it is to the soul what a water bath is to the body.”
- Oliver Wendell Holmes
The Charivari is the official choral group of the U.P. College of Law. As a means of humanizing the College of Law, the group was formed during Dean Raul Pangalangan’s term as LSG President in the early eighties. Charivari provides law students a venue to express themselves through music away from the rigors and demands of legal studies.
The name “Charivari” refers originally to a French folk custom, a noisy mock serenade for newlyweds. It was also sometimes used as a form of social coercion, to force an as-yet-unmarried couple to wed.
In Art. 155 of the Philippine Revised Penal Code, a penalty is imposed upon any person who shall instigate or take an active part in any charivari or other disorderly meeting offensive to another or prejudicial to public tranquility.
