This inspired setting faithfully retains the Hawaiian character of Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's cover. Andy features the sopranos, then altos, on the classic melody, accompanied by rhythmic aloha's from other sections of the choir. This adaptable publication invites you to perform a cappella or with optional piano, ukulele, or guitar. A special arrangement that honors the depth of the original song, the spirit of Brother Iz, and the beauty of the earth.
