These three ‘Old New Zealand Songs’ of Philip Norman are extracted from an hour-long cantata, ‘New Chums and the Old Identity’, commissioned in 1982 by the Waikato Secondary Schools Music Teachers’ Association. This SOUNZ Film captures the Jubilate Singers’ performance of ‘New Zealand Whales’, ‘Blood Red Roses’ and ‘John Smith A.B.’. Audio recorded by Thom O’Connor.

Khylan (3) & his brother Dylan (7) from Hauraki jamming out to their favourite waiata "Tutira mai nga iwi" ❤🎶 #NZmusic | Feels like?

Stupendous harmonies: This amazing rendition of Tutira Mai Nga Iwi, sung by Hastings Girls' High School at today’s Council meeting, was one of a suite of three songs that won the choir the regional Big Sing competition. Now they are off to the nationals. What awesome talent! #hastingsproud | Hastings District Council - Te Kaunihera ā-Rohe o Heretaunga
