Hawaiian Guitar Duet
He Lei No Kaiulani / Somewhere In Hawaii

Album UK 1922 on Columbia label
World (Pacific)

This song was originally a chant given to Princess Ka'iulani after she returned from her schooling in Great Britain (her father was Scots). Eventually a tune was put to the chant and it was sung instead of chanted, thus a piece of music like this with no words, only instrumental, simply flies in the face of what the intentions were of the person who composed the chant to praise the Princess.Both Artists on side A and Side B Unaccredited . credited as follows - Side A - "Hawaiian Guitar, Banjo And Ukulele Trio " Side B - "Hawaiian Guitar Duet " Made In England Speed 80rpm This song was originally a chant given to Princess Ka'iulani after she returned from her schooling in Great Britain (her father was Scotsmen). Eventually a tune was put to the chant and it was sung instead of chanted, thus a piece of music like this with no words, only instrumental, it was composed as a chant to praise the Princess. On Her return a lei was given through a aliʻi, that is usually accompanied with a song or chant, also called a lei. The flower lei would wither, but the chant or song would live on as a reminder of the aliʻi. The lei was presented to the aliʻi but protocol would never allow the giver to put it on the aliʻi. The aliʻi might adorn herself or allow an attendant to place it around her neck. The attendant would never let her hand go over the head of the aliʻi
