Summary: |
"..The book is organized like an encyclopedia, with about 200 entries in alphabetical order.
They include biographies of musicians from every period of Hawaiian musical history--
from Henry Berger, David Kalakaua, Queen Lili'uokalani, and others of their time, to the great names of
the first half of the 20th century, and on to the performers and composers of today's Hawaiian renaissance.
There are major articles on chant, slack key, steel guitar, ukulele, himeni, Hawaiian orchestra, falsetto,
humor in Hawaiian music, radio, television and the recording industry--to name a few.
Definitive essays tell the story of all ancient and modern music instruments and
the most loved and important songs of the last 150 years...." CLICK THE "MORE IMAGES" LINK ABOVE TO SEE MORE OF THIS TITLE |
