The traditional music of Micronesia is distinctively different from other regions of the Pacific. This music employs very few instruments with the main instruments being conch shell horns, sticks, and the "box" which is beaten by a multitude of hands to provide a beat to accompany the singing which always
predominates. With no written language, the traditional music of Micronesia encompasses the rich tapestry of tradition, spiritualism and culture of the Micronesian people.
The anthology runs for 90 minutes in which the
traditional chants are introduced followed by
the songs of Micronesia including many from the
Marshall Islands and Arno Atoll (Aeroplane Song).
These songs range from traditional songs which
have a chant-like presentation followed by later
songs which use background instruments. The
program culminates in two contemporary
interpretations of traditional Micronesian chants.
Also, the supporting Web site to the anthology
is as follows:
