The
indigenous New Zealand
Māori tune name NGAKAU
NIWHA translates
resolute heart. Lim Swee
Hong has set the words of
William Wallace to newly
composed music that
speaks of a vision of a
words of renewed through
radical concern. The
piece begins with a
drumbeat that resembles a
heartbeat. The simple
melody moves through the
vocal parts in a variety
of textures. An organ
interlude sets up the key
change and the final
verse, which calls us to
leave the past behind and
work with Christ to build
a new community, bringing
hope and fullness of life
to all humanity.
