If the tenor section is not large, some 1st basses could sing with the 2nd tenors in the ‘drone-like’ sections, for example bars 7-23. The chanted Maori text should be somewhat flexible in its rhythm and may be a little faster than the speed of the remainder of the work. The 4 solo voices (bar 38) should be well balanced and project prominently. The tenor and bass voices will, of course, sing the material an octave lower than printed. The small (2nd bass) notes in places such as bars 6 and 11-12 are optional
