    New Zealand Folk Music:

    Anei Ko Hone Heke E


    By: Sebastian

    Introduction to New Zealand Music


    New Zealand is a country southeast of Australia.
    The indigenous people from New Zealand are
    called the Maori. They are spread throughout many
    different tribes. Maoris use music for many
    different causes. Those causes are usually strongly
    linked to the occult, such as worship in their
    religion. They play an important role in Maori
    culture.

    Maori Folk Song: Anei Ko Hone Heke E


    Maoris creates songs for different events they
    deemed important. For example, Anei ko Hone
    Heke e was created to commemorate Hone Heke,
    a tribe leader and the eventual war leader in
    Northern New Zealand. The song was created to
    commemorate one of his battles, the Flagstaff War.

    Maori Folk Song: Anei Ko Hone Heke E


    The song, like other folk songs by the Maoris, has a
    slow imitative polyphonic melody. On the newer
    version however, they use guitars to accompany
    the singers. It was created to support and to
    remember Hone Heke. Like other Maori war music,
    the song is like a prayer to Hone Heke so that he
    would be careful when defending the hill where the
    flagpole is set. It is like a chant that was sung to
    give Hone Heke good luck during the battles.

    Maori Folk Song: Anei Ko Hone Heke E


    The song would be sung during the Flagstaff War
    by the Maoris to show support of Hone Heke. Not
    all Maoris would sing this song, because not all of
    the tribes support Hone Heke. Today, the songs are
    mainly sung during events on traditional culture.

    The Flagstaff War


    The Flagstaff War begun when Hone Heke decided
    to protest the new British Government by chopping
    down a flagpole with the Union Jack. The British
    erected one after the other, and at last posted a
    guard to guard the flagpole. Once again, Hone
    Heke chopped the flagpole down. This time, he
    killed the guard. The war began when the British
    came with their troops and some tribesmen that
    supported the British.

    Instruments Used

    There is only one instrument used in this song, the


    guitar. Its only added on the modern version of the
    song to add chords. The melody only is played by
    vocals at different octaves.

    Elements of Music
    Musical elements are used in this song just like
    every other songs. There are several elements
    which are very prominent in the song.
    Melody: is often repeated. This makes it sound like
    a message. Harmony: The blending of the different
    voices creates a vast and complex harmony.
    Timbre: A broad complete feeling timbre. This
    makes the song sound unified.

    Elements of Music
    Rhythm: It has a constant rhythm with slight
    differences, and it makes it sound more interesting
    and thorough.
    Tempo: It has an andante tempo.
    Meter: The song has a 2/4 simple duple meter.
    Dynamics: It has a Mezzo Forte dynamic because it
    is sung together.

    Elements of Music
    Because the song is sung together, it tells Hone
    Heke that all the people are united in support of
    him, which is one of the messages that the tribes
    are trying to tell.
    The element that is most used is probably the
    harmony between the different voices, which
    creates a broad sound. Another one is probably the
    rhythm because the song follows a constant
    rhythm.
