Effective star billing! That should help gain her a few new fans!  |

OK, here is the track listing from CDJapan, translated using Google Translate. You can probably guess which artists perform some of these songs. 1. World In Union (with lyrics in English / Maori) 2. World In Union (with English lyrics) 3. Swing Low 4. Eresaremu 5. Pokarekareana 6. Pure heart 7. Kotahitanga (rugby beat Masters Mix) 8. Now's The Time 09. Ireland call 10. Forefathers of our country (Welsh National Anthem) 11. Wal Sing Matilda 12. Song of Marseille (French government) 13. All night 14. Wheel Keep A Welcome 15. Men of Harlech 16. Medley of Scottish songs 17. Pearl River God defend New Zealand (NZ national anthem) 18. World In Union (with Japanese lyrics) (bonus track) Some of the spelling is a bit dubious though, but you know what they mean! I expect Katherine will do some if not all the Welsh stuff, and Hayley the NZ stuff. There could be half a dozen songs by Hayley there - guessing at what some of them are, but it sin't hard. I wonder if they are all new recordings. My guess is that tracks 1, 2, 5, 8, 17 and 18 will all be by Hayley. Plus perhaps some more. Martin D |

Hi Martin,
I was reading Paul Byrom's blog the other day and found some more info....
"Representing ENGLAND is “the Nation’s Favourite Tenor” Alfie Boe with The Band of the Coldstream Guards performing the rousing Jerusalem, and rising star Laura Wright with her tender, acoustic version of Swing Low, a great rugby anthem that is also contrastingly performed by Russell Watson. SCOTLAND’s official theme song Now’s The Time, based on the tune of Loch Lomond, is here sung by Scottish Tenor Luigi Corvi. The traditional Flower of Scotland is also featured, performed by The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards. From WALES we have none other than The Fron Male Voice Choir with Land Of My Fathers, as well as music from Bryn Terfel and Katherine Jenkins. And IRELAND brings its official song Ireland’s Call featuring Brian Kennedy representing the North and tenor Paul Byrom the South, and introduces new Irish songstress, Mairead, with her rendition of The Fields Of Athenry.
Also included is a recording from International superstar violinist André Rieu from HOLLAND, with singer Mirusia Louwerse from AUSTRALIA. From AFRICA comes The Kenyan Boys’ Choir, and Roberto Alagna represents FRANCE with his version of the French National Anthem."

Thanks mlb,
Well, there is a pretty poor fit between some of those you mention mlb and the track listing I posted above. Where is "Jersalem" or "The Fields of Athenry"? And "Now's the Time" might not be "Now is the Hour" has I had guessed.
Whatever, it sounds like an album worth having.

Hi mlb and everyone.
Now that is interesting. It sounds like a musically worthwhile CD after all, but who is representing NZ, if Hayley is doing it for ITV UK? Hayley again?

Hi everyone, Finally, we have the full track listing and names of the performers. Hayley sings four of the tracks, as highlighted below. Amazon UK1. World In Union - Hayley Westenra
2. Swing Low '99 - Arr. C. Skarbek/ T.R. Evans - Russell Watson, The Royal Choral Society
3. Land of My Fathers - Fron Male Voice Choir
4. Ireland's Call - Brian Kennedy, Paul Byrom
5. Scottish Medley - Royal Scots Dragoon Guards
6. Jerusalem - The Coldstream Guards Band, Alfie Boe
7. Glorious - Mary-Jess
8. Now's The Time - Luigi Corvi
9. Calon Lan - Katherine Jenkins
10. O Verona - Only Men Aloud
11. Pokarekare Ana - Hayley Westenra, Francois Rive, Robbie McIntosh, The Metro Voices, Te Tau Choir, Jenny O'Grady, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Ian Dean
12. Waltzing Matilda - André Rieu, Mirusia
13. We'll keep a welcome - Bryn Terfel, Orchestra of the Welsh National Opera, Gareth Jones, The Black Mountain Choir, The Risca Choir
14. Nkosi Sikelel'i Afrika - The Kenyan Boys Choir
15. Men of Harlech - Fron Male Voice Choir
16. God Defend New Zealand - Hayley Westenra
17. The Fields Of Athenry - Mairead Carlin
18. Cwm Rhondda - Bryn Terfel, Orchestra of the Welsh National Opera, Gareth Jones, The Black Mountain Choir, The Risca Choir
19. La Marseillaise - Roberto Alagna
20. Swing Low - All Angels
21. World In Union - Hayley Westenra
22. Kakari (Haka 2011) - Qube Glad Hayley got to sing the NZ National Album on it but I wonder if it's an existing recording (from one of her NZ album versions)? Pokarekara Ana is I think the original version from Pure!  So this album looks like it is a 'various artists' compilation of existing recordings, with a few new recordings which are most likely to be Hayley's two World in Union songs, and perhaps the 2011 Haka at the end. Cheers, Dave |
