Queen Liliʻuokalani, 1908

"Aloha ʻOe" (Good day to Thee) is a Hawaiian folk song written circa 1878 by Liliʻuokalani, who was and so Princess of the Hawaiian Kingdom. It is her well-nigh famous vocal and is a common cultural symbol for Hawaii.

Background [edit]

The story of the origin of the vocal has several variations.[one] They all have in mutual that the song was inspired past a notable farewell embrace given by Colonel James Harbottle Boyd during a horseback trip taken by Princess Liliʻuokalani in 1877 or 1878 to the Boyd ranch in Maunawili on the windward side of Oʻahu, and that the members of the party hummed the tune on the mode back to Honolulu. Unlike versions tell of alternate recipients of the comprehend—either Liliʻuokalani's sister Princess Likelike Cleghorn or a young lady at the ranch.[2] According to the nearly familiar version of the story:

This tender farewell set up Liliʻuokalani to thinking, and she began humming to herself on the homeward trip. Overhearing, Charles Wilson observed, "That sounds similar The Lone Rock by the Bounding main," a comment with which Liliʻuokalani is said to accept agreed. When the party paused to balance in an orangish grove on the Honolulu side of the Pali, the others joined in the hummings, and the vocal was completed afterwards at Washington Place.[3]

The Hawaiʻi Country Athenaeum preserves a mitt-written manuscript[4] past Liliʻuokalani, dated 1878, with the score of the song, the lyrics, Liliʻuokalani'south English language translation, and her note evidently added later: "Composed at Maunawili 1878. Played past the Royal Hawaiian Band in San Francisco Baronial 1883 and became very popular."

The first known recording of the song was released past Berliner Gramophone in 1898.[5] A catalogue issued by Columbia Records in 1901 mentioned ii wax cylinders labeled "Vocal Solos in Hawaiian", containing some of the before recordings of "Aloha ʻOe" and "Kuʻu Pua I Paoakalani". However, it is uncertain if this was recorded in Hawaii or if the performer was Hawaiian and the cylinders are at present lost.[6] Columbia Records later recorded a duet of the vocal by Nani Alapai and Henry Northward. Clark in 1911.[vii] A 1913 score tin can be seen at the Levy Sheet Music Drove.[8]
