I've just been wandering around Youtube and found these clips of a New Zealand Maori song written in the early 20th Century. The song is "Pokarekare Ana". I believe it's one of the most beautiful melodies ever written. I thought some might like the opportunity to hear it

I really enjoy listening to music in languages I have no understanding of because it allows me to focus entirely on the sound of the music without having to split my focus between lyrics and music.

Hayley Westenra has been described as a classical crossover artist. Her link is below.

I was totally blown away by the South Korean version below (10 tenors and 1 soprano). The sound is absolutely magnificent. It's music at its most glorious and the soprano has one of the most beautiful tones I've heard.
