We are very proud to launch the Jace Saplan Indigenous Composer Series with two Hawaiian pieces, of which this is the first. It is not too often we get to sing music written by a king, and far too little Hawaiian music has been arranged for a cappella choir. The text is in Hawaiian and carries a message of love and appreciation. The second piece in the series is Mahalo Piha - be sure to read about that one too. They make a lovely programming pair. |
