Forest and Ocean: Bird Songs (CD)

Hirini Melbourne was a tireless advocate of Maori language and culture and led by example. On this album are a selection of his songs in Te Reo, performed by the composer together with simple, intimate guitar accompaniment. Recordings of forest and ocean bird calls are sensitively woven into the recording. These songs are suitable for childrens' choirs, too. A truly enjoyable album and an excellent resource for primary schools in particular. - Forest and Ocean: Bird Songs by Hirini Melbourne
