Pokarekare Ana was originally written in 1912 as a bid to win the Heart of Paraire Henare Tomoana's beloved, Kuini Ripeka Ryland. Paraire had fallen in love with Kuini but her family refused to give their blessing to a marriage between the two. A lovelorn Paraire composed Pokarekare Ana in which he vowed his eternal love. He declared this passion by singing Pokarekare Ana at Te Poho-o-Rawiri Marae to Kuini in front of her Ngati Porou elders.

Each winter and summer, Chris Rowbury gathers a random bunch of singers from in and around Ipswich. There are no auditions and all s...    less

Oh that birth forever blessed, when the virgin full of grace by the Holy ghost conceiving, bore the savior of our race and the babe, the world's redeemer, first revealed his sacred face evermore and evermore... This is he whom seers in old time chanted of with one accord whom the voices of the prophets promised in their faithful word Now he shines, the long expected, let creation praise its Lord evermore and evermore... Let the heights of heaven adore him; angel hosts his praises sing Powers, dominions, bow before him, and extol our God and king. Let no tongue on earth be silent, every voice in concer...    less

This is footage from The Australian Voices' concert at St Stephani, Bremen in December, 2010. Gowned as a bride thou art Caught with the glow, Giving with ruddy Heart Blood to the snow. Thou has come in to make Dreams to the boy, Lightly the girl will take Omens of joy. Thou hast the taste of all SweetHearts in Spring, Thou hast come out to call Colours to sing. Low rides the sun above, Meek as the moon: Thou art as moist in love As a love tune. Still as a bride thou art In a bride's gown: See! an uplifted Heart Beats in a clown.
