I am a Samoan hymn lyricist and music composer but i can't tell how amazing the Tongan students in this video perform that medley. The voices are indescribable and it was stunning. What i have found from Tongan form of music is that most of it is basically a pacific organised opera including an alternate version sung by the choir. Love the music and really appreciate the effort that has be put into it by the Choir Director.
uso im samoan & you’re right! samoan is too westernised with their vi’igas now with all their beats and instruments while tonga keeps it old school, love it
Oh what a blessed way to be occupied with listening to these blessed young Tongan men and women singing so beautifully. Exquisite voices which each melt together after those gorgeous leads. Such glorious harmonious matches. The young men are so beyond description, I feel so fortunate to have come across such powerful young performers. Thank God for them.
Astounding, awesome performance! I am thrilled to hear this group sing. I feel that this music compares as much as possible to what we will hear in heaven. I am blown away! Listening from Florida, USA. 2022.

A powerful rendition of the famous hymn "Nearer my God to thee" composed by Sarah Flower Adams in the opening item of the medley but in the Tongan language. Thank you Tupou High School for such a brilliant performance, exquisite and legendary
The words you’re chanting is praising and worshiping the One & Only our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! Glory to God forevermore. Fakafeta’i ‘Eiki! Amen!
Malo mu'a fanau hono faka'aonga'i homou taleniti, quite amazing, with the same note we shouldn't ignore the efforts and the commitments that the Music Director and the Conductor, the parents and the those that they have given their supports in whatever forms to the successfulness of this Choir. Amongst the BEST CHOIR THAT I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY ENTIRE MUSICAL INTEREST, YOU SHOULD ALL BE PROUD OF YOUR PERFORMANCE.

I met up with Tongan Christian Music in the year 2000 when I met a man from Tonga at Iliff College in Denver, Colorado. As I understand it, he is now in Phoenix, Arizona area. I LOVE THIS MUSIC. His name was Paula Latu. Is this you? or is it another man with the same name? I believe he is a pastor.
