Inia Te Waiata's Maori Songbook
Book or booklet paperback
About
The seventeen songs, chants and hakas in this fine collection were among those selected by the late, great Maori singer Inia Te Waiata for his Kiwi gold disc-winning LP record Waiata Maori. He arranged them for performance by himself and The Maori Theatre Chorus, retaining their essential character but adding imaginative touches in the way of harmonisation and sequential grouping. Reference to the recording is recommended as a guide during study or rehearsal for performance.
In this publication Inia's vocal arrangements are now made available with piano accompaniments and guitar chord symbols for those who would like to sing and play the songs themselves.
