Huana Ke Aloha By Tia Carrere - 2011 GRAMMY Winner for Best Hawaiian UPC #644718008424

Tia Carrere's soothing vocals are set to classical piano arrangements by Daniel Ho. Original Hawaiian lyrics by Amy Ku'uleialoha Stillman.

The songwriting team of Daniel Ho and Amy Ku'uleialoha Stillman began with new treatments of traditional lullabies, then reached out to renowned masterpieces of classical music such as Beethoven's "Pathetique Sonata," Brahms' "Alto Rhapsody," and Satie's "Gymnopedie." The complexity in the resulting arrangements adds layers of counterpoint to the direct simplicity of the expressions in the texts.
