Description Details
Shakespeare's plays are full of music: love songs, comic ditties, serious ballads, and songs for witches and spirits. Over the centuries musicians and composers have also created musical adaptations based on Shakespeare's plays. Composer Christopher Wilson's Shakespeare and Music (1922) documents the musical history of each play across various genres, including opera and incidental music. (Summary by Elizabeth Klett)...

El Godfrey: The Canta Barcariola of Dr. Thomas Mondini and the Arguments on Every Song of an unknown author.

Description Details
Popular songs with their original music.

Description Details
These 101 songs are all postmissionary and owe their musical origin to missionary hymns. None of them are technically chants but some, such as " 'Alika," "Hole Wai-mea," and "Maika'i Kaua'i," are chants that have been edited and set to music. The songs date from the mid-1850's to 1968—the date of Mary Kawena Pukui's Christmas song translations. The majority are from the time of the monarchy and so are already somewhat venerable. Nearly all are sung often today and are well known to Hawaiian singers. The texts have never before been written consistently with the glottal stops and macrons that make them nearly pronounceable by one not knowing Hawaiian. Many of them have not been translated before, or have been freely adapted rather than translated. Rarely have so many been assembled under one cover....

This book is a Mind Map of the elocution program designed by Katharine Jewel Evert. It is a difficult subject to tackle on paper, that is, without any audio aids. However, in addition to covering the principles of speaking, the map is designed to be used as a workbook with exercises that can be applied to help anyone build a better speaking voice. It's theme is reading different types of books aloud and interpreting the authors thoughts for delivery, via the voice, into the mind of the listeners. This theme is also valid for two people simply talking. Your voice is your expression of yourself, one of the key characteristics that define you to the world (along with appearance and behavior); improve your speaking voice and improve your entire life....

Previous to the year 1906 the researches of the Bureau were restricted to the American Indians, but by act of Congress approved June 30 of that year the scope of its operations was extended to include the natives of the Hawaiian islands. Funds were not specifically provided, however, for prosecuting investigations among these people, and in the absence of an appropriation for this purpose it was considered inadvisable to restrict the systematic investigations among the Indian tribes in order that the new field might be entered. Fortunately the publication of valuable data pertaining to Hawaii is already provided for, and the present memoir by Doctor Emerson is the first of the Bureau's Hawaiian series. It is expected that this Bulletin will be followed shortly by one comprising an extended list of works relating to Hawaii, compiled by Prof. H. M. Ballou and Dr. Cyrus Thomas....

Description Details
It is the purpose of this series of articles to attempt a resolution on these questions by reviewing the ethnological history of the Hawaiian peoples as contained in their ancient traditions, rituals and epic poetry. It is the purpose of these articles to present the Hawaiian royal traditions unconfounded by the elements and theology of Christianity or the insidious influence of other cultural philosophies. It is our purpose to relate what will substantially be the same history, prayers, and chants that for innumerable centuries were recited by the Hawaiian priesthood of the Order of Io and the worship of Kane. If, as inevitably it must, there shall rise a conflict of thought between these articles and the preponderant opinion of modern anthropological research, we shall only be able to resolve or at least to mitigate these differences by restating our purpose of presenting the history of the Hawaiian from his own viewpoint. To accomplish this, we shall adhere strictly to our primary source of material, the Song of Eternity (He Koi Honua No Ke Aha Alii, Ka Halau Kapu O Keawe) of the Royal and Sacred House of Keawe, traditional ru...

Excerpt Details
The Song of Eternity, never before disclosed to the public, is a series of heroic epics and liturgies. The last time that it was recited in its entirety was at the necrological ceremonies attending the funeral of the beloved Prince William Charles Lunalilo, King of Hawaii and sixth of the Dynasty of Kamehameha. Lenthy portions of it, however, have been chanted at other similar ceremonies, the most prominent of these being the coronation of David Kalakaua, and the furierals of the Queens, Emma and Liliuokalani; of the Princes William Leleiohoku, David Kawananakoa, and Albert Kunuiakea, and of the High-Chiefesses Kehauluohi II, Ruth Keelikolani, Peleuli Crowningburg-Amalu, Elizabeth Kekaaniau Pratt, and others. It may also be of interest to know that various of its liturgies were chanted at the ceremonies which elevated Archibald Cleghorn and John Owen Dominis as Princes of the Realm and which created the late Henry Gaylord Dillingham as a High-Chief of Hawaii in the Order of Kaleiwohi....
