Ka Hia Manu (CME in Low Voice)

Ka Hia Manu (CME in Low Voice). Arranged by Stephen Hatfield. For Choral, Bamboo Sticks (TTBB A Cappella). BH Secular Choral. 20 pages. Boosey & Hawkes #M051478415. Published by Boosey & Hawkes.

Ka Hia Manu (Little Birds) pulls together chants and texts from various Polynesian and Micronesian islands. A metallic, brassy edge to the sound sets this Stephen Hatfield original apart from much of the standard choral repertoire. Think of the spontaneity of kids singing on a bus. Think of hand-woven fabric rather than cashmere. Duration: ca. 6:45.

Minimum order 6 copies.
