Dedicated
with love to the spirit of the
Sweet Adelines International Convention
Hawaii, November 2008
It is truly a pleasure for Pride of Portland to present our beloved
organization with the gift of Aloha`Oe, arranged by one
of our members, Kay MacDierney. As those of you who have travelled
to Hawaii know, the people, energy, and spirit of the islands
is unlike any other on earth. Paired with the love, joy, and harmony
that we Sweet Adelines embody, our upcoming International convention
should prove to be a magical event - not only for those of us
fortunate to be competitors, but for all who will take part.
All of the tools you need to learn the song are on this website
www.alohaoearrangement.com
which we created for this purpose: including learning tracks,
pronunciation guide, and sheet music.
We hope you will enjoy learning Aloha`Oe and find time
during our week together in Hawaii to say hello to us and other
sisters in song and sing through this wonderful work.
