Christmas Carols in Maori by the Te Pataka Maori Choir Kiwi EA 76. 45 r.p.m. This is a very satisfying record indeed. As far as I know we have not previously had a group which has recorded Christmas Carols in Maori and this therefore is a welcome addition to the ever-increasing library of recorded Maori music. The choral arrangements are first-class, the organ accompaniment is tasteful and unobstrusive the choir's diction is a model of clarity and the conductor, Anania Te Amohau of Wellington, has controlled his singers with firmness to produce a very pleasing result. “Hark the Herald Angels Sing” is one of the best pieces of Maori choral singing I have heard for a long while. I was particularly impressed by two very fine tenor solos by Hohepa Mutu in “Marie to Po” and “Whakarongo Ki te Tangi”. I hope we hear more of Mr Mutu's singing on future recordings.
