Nu'oli (Glad Tidings)—Robert Lowry/arr.
Jace Kaholokula Saplan. Originally known
as Glad Tidings, this hymn was translated
by Makua Laiana, an early missionary who
arrived in Hawai'i in 1831 and spent the
remainder of his life amongst the Hawaiian
people. According to Hawaiian scholars,
this passage was chosen to be sung at the
first public worship of a Congregationalist
church on April 23, 1820, and is a setting
of the Nativity text from Luke 2. This lovely
a cappella arrangement of the traditional
hymn is a fitting tribute to the original.
