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. The family was won over by his convincing performance and granted him their daughter's hand.
How placid are the ripples of restless Waiapu,
Dear they know of your returning,
from far across the sea.
Dear Heart of mine,
I'll wait for thee,
My love is thine alone,
to eternity.
This outdoor performance was the culmination of a six-week project which creates a choir from scratch for one night only. 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, do not sleep friend, through this night.
You a soul, while we are suffring through this night
Banish slumber from your eyes!
The great secret is revealed in this night.
You are Jove in the high heavens,
Round heavns starry dome you circle in this night!
Like an eagle fly above!
Now a hero is your soul in this night.
Such a quiet, others sleep
I and God alone together in this night!
What a roar! Joy arises,
Truth with gleaming wing is shining in this night!
Do not sleep friend,
If I slumbered until sunrise,
I should never, never see this night again!
Thorough fares on earth are silent.
There behold the starry roads of this night.

It is a medley of three 19th century songs—"Dixie", a minstrel song that became the unofficial anthem of the Confederacy since the Civil War; "All My Trials", originally a Bahamian lullaby, but closely related to African American spirituals, and well-known through Folk music revivalists. Sung as part of a concert at St. Johns Church, Keynsham, on 6th April 2013 to raise funds for Motor Neurone Disease Association. less

Today it comprises 23 selected singers, Cantilena meaning "lightweight song", deriving from the Latin word for "song" or "melody". Whenever possible, during concerts the members of the choir wear a pearl necklace to represent the significance of the activities pursued: each member of the choir is represented by one of the pearls, with the strand linking them all being the music - the main purpose of so much hard work to achieve artistic quality. As well as being an extremely feminine accessory, it also illustrates the quality, refinement, finish and musical beauty that the Academia Concerto pursues. The formation of groups of like voices in Brazil is not very common and, therefore, requires constant research to seek out specialised repertoire, both in Brazil and abroad, making appropriate arrangements or adaptations of pieces for ... less
