毛利人是新西兰的土著居民。他们在十世纪就来到新西兰,在这块土地上生活了近千年之久,并用劳动和智慧创造了灿烂的文化。今天占新西兰人口不到10％的毛利人,虽然在生活方式上发生了很大变化,但是他们仍然崇仰和继承着祖先的文化遗产和传统风俗。毛利人的古代音乐象圣歌一样,曲调流畅,旋律优美。但是变化不多,没有和声和一定的程式。有的歌曲以宗教为题材供祈祷之用,较长的圣歌由两个人轮唱。这种歌曲比较注重歌词,有的追溯部落的历史或描述民间的传说,有的则抒发人们的情怀。
Maori are indigenous people in New Zealand. They came to New Zealand in the tenth century, lived on this land for nearly a thousand years, and used brilliant labor and wisdom to create a culture. Today, Maori, who make up less than 10% of New Zealand’s population, still admire and inherit the ancestral cultural heritage and traditional customs, despite great changes in their way of life. Ancient Maori music, like the anthem, melody smooth, beautiful melody. But little change, no harmony and certain programs. Some songs are based on religion for the purpose of prayer, longer chants sung by two people. This kind of song pays more attention to the lyrics, some traces the history of the tribe or describes the folk legend, while others express the feelings of the people.
