A compelling work that has become popular in festivals and regional choral activities. 3165875 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.50 10609878 SA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

There are many wonderful effects for the more accomplished choir. 10044185 SSAATTBB . . . . . . . . . . . MA 2.80 Ah, Poor Bird—arr. Ruth Elaine Schram.

Much more than a greeting, "aloha" is also an acronym that represents the spirit of the Hawaiian culture. This rhythmic original piece celebrates the five traits of aloha, sung in Hawaiian, and then defines them in English with two independent melodic lines that are eventually combined in a perfect partnering. Add optional ukuleles or percussion for even more fun! 11393260 Three-Part Mixed . . . . . . ME 2.05 11393261 Two-Part. . . . . . . . . . . . .
