Album Notes

The annual Kamehameha Schools Song Contest is a tradition of more than 80 years, wherein the high school classes compete in Hawaiian a cappella choral singing.

While the judges' scores are being tallied, students stage a large-scale Hawaiian multi-media production featuring hula, song, and drama...a ho`ike ("to show, or reveal").

The concept for this CD was born from a desire to revive that repertoire, rework it for the contemporary Hawaiian ear, and reintroduce it to that community. As a result, some of the musical arrangements and stylings are a departure from the conservative musical tradition that has characterized Kamehameha Schools over the last century.
