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 Hawaiian 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!

Courting Is a Pleasure—arr. Desmond
Earley. Featuring an alto solo, this selection is
found masquerading under a variety of names
throughout the Irish tradition, such as Farewell
Ballymoney and Going to Mass Last Sunday.

typically sung from the male perspective about a
false young woman named Molly, it is altered here
to a female singing about her dear love Johnny.
This is a lovely take on the traditional folk song
with supportive backing vocals.

from island cultures throughout the Pacific, this
exciting work for tenor-bass choirs uses a Latin
text and a variety of two-, three- and four-part
harmonic textures throughout. The distinctive
piano accompaniment moves the piece along
with rhythmic intensity - but then exits to give way
to a more lyrical a cappella section in four-part
harmony that features a gentle hymn from the
Solomon Islands.

drum and flute adding to its authenticity.

haka, and the music embodies the joy of its lyrics.

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.

Rebbe Nachman of Breslov conveys the tension
and resolve of his teaching.
