David A. Perry, Jean Perry

Ia Ora! (Tahitian For 'Hello')

A trip to Polynesia inspired Dave and Jean Perry to compose this authentic-sounding choral work based on the traditional rhythms and harmonies of the South Pacific. It's a cross-cultural number written especially for young and developing choral groups. There are opportunities for soloists on several brief, optional solos. Add percussion to make it even more genuine; percussion parts are included in the publication. Or use the lively SoundTrax CD. P. S. : 'Ia Ora' means 'hello. ' Included on Sally's 'In the Spotlight!'
