A Wee Deoch an Doris—Harry Lauder/arr.
Michael Zook. Partly in Scots Gaelic, partly in
English, this Scottish tune is great fun for tenor-
bass choirs! The title translates to "A Small

unison lines and traditional harmonies, this
lilting song is easy to teach.

Adiemus—Karl Jenkins. Although this is an
original work, the words, which simulate a
tribal language, give it a world-music feeling.
In fact, the chant-like character of the piece
almost makes you feel as though you are
taking part in a tribal ritual. A compelling work
that has become popular in festivals and
regional choral activities.

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!

Aloha Spirit—Ruth Morris Gray. 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!

Courage)—Patsy Ford Simms. This African-
style piece is just so much fun, everyone will
