New 2-part voicing! Here's an inspired setting that faithfully retains the Hawaiian character of Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's cover. In this well-crafted treble version, both sections of the choir take a turn singing the classic melody, while the opposite part interjects with independent aloha's. This easy-to-do treatment performs well with the light piano part, an optional ukulele/guitar, or the professional SoundTrax accompaniment. It's a special arrangement that honors the depth of the original, the spirit of Brother Iz, and the beauty of the earth.
