Aia la 'o Pele i Hawai'i—Jace Kaholokulu Saplan.
Based on a traditional Hawaiian chant with original
music, this rousing work for advanced treble choirs
brings all the drama of a volcanic eruption normally
associated with destruction. But in Hawai'ian culture,
Pele - the goddess of volcanos and fire - also evokes
awe and veneration. Layered ostinato patterns and
dramatic divisi harmonies, along with the use of the
Ipu, a Hawaiian percussion instrument, create an
exciting experience!
