This composition features beautiful melodic lines similar to that of the famous Pokerekere Ana for Vocal Duet with piano accompaniment with the lyrics of the war chant of the Haka. The Haka is a ceremonial dance or challenge in MÄori culture. It is a posture dance performed by a group, with vigorous movements and stamping of the feet with rhythmically shouted accompaniment. Although commonly associated with the traditional battle preparations of male warriors, haka have long been performed by both men and women, and several varieties of the dance fulfil social functions within MÄori culture. Haka are performed to welcome distinguished guests, or to acknowledge great achievements, occasions or funerals.Kapa haka (performing arts, literally line dance) groups are very common in schools. This Vocal Duet can be used for school groups
