Three Tongan Legends is a tour de force of exotic inventiveness! Pann not only wrote the story and choral text - he also created an original language with South Pacific flavor, to maximize the relationship between phonetic sonorities and the musical flow. The three movements are titled: I. Klaa Ma (song for the infinite sky), II. Kanokaa do! (a hunting song), and III. Dalle ma nabonu (song for the dead).
