Hela Rotan—arr. Ken Steven. This is a popular
Indonesian folk song about the game of tug of war
from the island of Maluku in the Moluccas. It is a
call to live in togetherness, even though there are
differences that attract each other. Full divisi, the
native language, and close harmonies provide a
challenge, but most of the piece is ostinato-based
which provides an anchor.
