 Rongo - Voices of Australasia & Oceania
Voices of Australasia & Oceania. Melbourne Millennium Chorus #7
Released: 2004
Price: $28
Rongo is the name of a Polynesian god - the god of song and music and
the god that brings the rain and makes things grow. RONGO manifests as
a rainbow. It was a wonderful name for this, the seventh Melbourne
Millennium Chorus concert, a celebration of the power and joy of the
music of our region.
This year Stephen Taberner agreed moved to Melbourne from NSW to lead
the choir. As always, many choirs from across Victoria contributed
singers to the 300 voice MMC, a choir which exists for less than three
months each year. Despite its fractured existence, the choir has a
strong spirit of its own. RONGO was an exhilarating experience.
