Tonight We'll Light A Candle - Hayley Westenra (2003)

More Hayley ヘイリー 海莉 Westenra videos at HWI: http://www.hayley-westenra-international.com/video-vault/2006_wmv-player/2006...

Hayley then aged 16 singing "Tonight We'll Light A Candle" at the Festival of Remembrance, Saturday 8th November 2003, at the Royal Albert Hall in London in the presence of Her Majesty The Queen.

The specially written lyrics are set to a new arrangement (for this event) of the New Zealand traditional song "Pokarekare Ana".

This performance showcases a young Hayley at her very best, singing at the age of only 16, just a few months after becoming Internationally known.

The video was originally recorded by Gerrit Kroeze for HWI and was recently re-discovered in the HWI vaults. It is from an original windows media file compressed at only 256 kbps and has needed considerable enhancement and editing to make it as presentable as possible in 2009. Editing and restoration by Dave Ludlow.

I've been looking for this for ages I remember seeing it at the time and thought it was brilliant.

With the combination of Hayley Westenra and an interesting title, I thought I'd like this song. I had no idea it was the tune of Pokarekare Ana :D I love that song. This song has such moving lyrics and I don't even like war related stuff. How does Hayley have that power... She's just amazing ^.^

Simply excellent! This is the first time I've heard her sing this in English. Almost better than the Maori version.

My partner loved this when he saw it on the Festival of Remembrance and I could never find this version. Magically I found it the week after he died and we played it at his funeral. A very poignant song sung beautifully.

The British Leigion are fantastic

She sings this in the Maori language too. It's on her Pure album. I've never heard her sing it in English though. What a treat!

You can learn truth through verse and song and that can help set your soul free. Take care ADonovan43
