The Pacific Islands The islands of the Pacific, with their beauty and romance, have always gripped man's imagination. Raised above the sea, in wondrous and spectacular splendour, they shimmer like an oasis. For those of us in need of solitude and adventure, these beautiful tropical islands also offer an escape - a place of refuge, serenity and excitement. In their greenness and freshness, the islands conjure up visions of unending youth and a heavenly paradise - crystal sea, sparkling white sand and surf, golden yellow rays of sunshine - a dawn to night sky of many colours - from vivid sapphire blue to topaz and turquoise, garnet and ruby to amethyst, citrine, peridot and emerald to the unique mystique of a theatrical curtain of exquisite Tahitian black pearl and onyx, gloriously enhanced by a galaxy of brilliant starlight diamonds - illuminated and moonlit by a majestic mother-of-pearl - encapsulated by the jubilant embrace of delightfully cool prevailing trade winds. Of these wonderful dream-worlds, it is Oceania that offers the most beautiful, enchanting and magnificent chains of pure and natural multicoloured gem-clustered islands. OCEANIA The term Oceania is normally used to designate all the islands of the Central and the South Pacific including Australia (continent), New Zealand, and sometimes the Malay Archipelago. On this Web site, the focus is primarily directed towards the Pacific Islands of Melanesia (including Papua - formerly Irian Jaya), Micronesia and Polynesia (including the Polynesian nation of Hawai'i), as well as both Australia and New Zealand.

Welcome everybody to our Pacific Islands Radio Stations for your free listening to our beautiful Pacific Island music, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! Wherever you may be, please make yourself feel at home, sit back, relax, and enjoy listening to the soothing, melodious, enchanting and exciting sounds of Pacific Island music. Music fulfills a need to communicate. It gives expression to thoughts, ideas, beliefs and moods. It connects us with our past and in doing so it arouses feelings of joy, sorrow, excitement and serenity. Music is a language that reminds us of memorable moments in our lives. Let us hope that we experience all these wonderful things and much more in our Pacific Island music.

Pacific Islands Radio has been introduced in order to facilitate the promotion of island music to a worldwide audience. This was undertaken as a consequence of a foreseen need to allow the musical component of island heritage to be made available to a wider audience.

The early music of Oceania (Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia) was composed of rhythm instruments and vocals; they comprise mainly chants without any harmonic structure and without any oriental or occidental influence. This early music was very fundamental although some islands did use flutes and drums to accompany their singing.

As there was no written language to record the history of the Pacific Islands, it was our beautiful island music that provided one essential record of our heritage and this was passed from generation to generation. Besides the tales of migration and wars, the daily life of our people was chronicled in our music.

The music played on Pacific Islands Radio has authentic examples of both the contemporary and traditional forms of indigenous music such as that of the Australian Aboriginal people, as well as Pacific Island music from the low atolls like Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, Tokelau and Tuvalu to the volcanic peaks of islands like Samoa, Tahiti and Hawai'i as well as the mountain ranges of New Zealand, Cook Islands, Easter Island (Rapa Nui), the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea, Papua (Irian Jaya), and Fiji along with Tonga, the Federated States of Micronesia (Pohnpei, Kosrae, Chuuk and Yap), Palau, Guam and Saipan. In addition, more unique and beautiful music from the Caroline Islands and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands as well as the Republic of Nauru is in the process of being incorporated into the Playlists.

The music comprises traditional chants of our gods, ancestors and mythology, gospel music, the day-to-day music including songs about the beauty of the sunrise, the sunset, the islands and the people, not to mention the uniquely beautiful love songs with their haunting lyrics and melodies.

Pacific Islands Radio is dedicated to promoting our beautiful island music and our talented artists to the world 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I should perhaps mention that we have at present four Radio Stations, the first being Pacific Islands Radio FM mp3PRO Stereo (FM 32 kbps) as well as Pacific Islands Radio 33K (24 kbps) and Radio Melanesia 28K (16 kbps) in order to allow our listeners the option of selecting the station of their own choice. The fourth Radio Station is Micronesia Music Radio 33K (24 kbps) which features original, rare, traditional and contemporary music from Micronesia. A further specialized Pacific Islands Radio Station featuring exclusively Polynesian music will be going online shortly.

 

Online schools and universities offering degree level programs and online college courses. Fields of study include nursing, psychology, business, education and technology. Directory of Education has a full range of online mba degrees, doctorate, masters, bachelor degree programs and online online associate degrees. Study online at your own pace and in your own time.

 

 

Finally, we may say that music is an integral part of life on the islands of the Pacific. Indeed, the songs and dances are woven into the very fabric of everyday life. Life, love, work, play, the ocean, the gods, the earth itself; they all flow through the music of the Pacific Islands, as surely as the sand erodes into the sea. Pacific Island music is truly the music of the world and is proudly featured on our four Pacific Islands Radio stations!
