Pure contains a diverse selection of songs, including renditions of "Who Painted the Moon Black", "Hine e Hine" (a song of the Maori, the natives of New Zealand), "In Trutina", from Orff's Carmina Burana, "Wuthering Heights" (the premiere hit in the long career of Kate Bush), and the perennial spiritual classic "Amazing Grace".
