This piece is written for Soprano Recorder and Alto Recorder. Some of the pieces in this series are in keys that you might not see a lot in learning pieces. This was intentional to keep the Soprano part in the lower register. Play along with Notation Composer or print the piece for playing with your friend(s). Please feel free to change the instruments and/or keys to suit your personal needs. RRR
"Mele Kalikimaka" is Merry Christmas in the Hawaiian language. This song was written in 1949 by Robert Alex Anderson, and first recorded by Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters. If you are Hawaiian, or like Hawaii and Hawaiian music (like we do), this will be an important addition to your Holiday repertoire.
We hope you enjoy playing it a much as Cynthia and I do.
