Album Notes

This Daniel Ho production is suitable for lulling children into sweet dreams. These new Hawaiian-language songs also speak to adult yearnings for refuge from the tides of chaos and the whirlwinds of everyday life.

The songwriting team of Daniel Ho and Amy Ku'uleialoha Stillman began with new treatments of traditional lullabies, then reached out to renowned masterpieces of classical music such as Beethoven's “Pathetique Sonata,” Brahms' “Alto Rhapsody,” and Satie's “Gymnopedie.”

Tia Carrere's vocal interpretations combine all of the nuances of tone and breath into an elegant palette of emotion. As their sounds wash over you, these songs invite you to sit back, close your eyes, and let them carry you away from your worries and cares.

Huana ke aloha-aloha overflows abundantly.
