Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Haina ia mai ana ka puana. This familiar refrain, sometimes translated 'Let the echo of our song be heard,' appears among the closing lines in many nineteenthcentury chants and poems. From earliest times, the chanting of poetry served the Hawaiians as a form of ritual celebration of the things they cherishedthe beauty of their islands, the abundance of wild creatures that inhabited their sea and air, the majesty of their rulers, and the prowess of their gods. Commoners as well as highborn chiefs and poetpriests shared in the creation of the chants. These haku mele, or 'composers,' the commoners especially, wove living threads from their own histoic circumstances and everyday experiences into the ongoing oral tradition, as handed down from expert to pupil, or from elder to descendant, generation after generation.This anthology embraces a wide variety of compositions: it ranges from songpoems of the Pele and Hiiaka cycle and the preChristian Shark Hula for Kalaniopuu to postmissionary chants and gospel hymns. These later selections date from the reign of Kamehameha III (18251854) to that of Queen Liliuokalani (18911893) and comprise the major portion of the book. They include, along with heroic chants celebrating nineteenthcentury Hawaiian monarchs, a number of works composed by commoners for commoners, such as Bill the Ice Skater, Mr. Thurston's WaterDrinking Brigade, and The Song of the Chanter Kaehu. Kaehu was a distinguished leperpoet who ended his days at the settlementhospital on Molokai.
