Hawaiian Music and Musicians
Author: George S. Kanahele
Publisher: University of Hawaii Press
ISBN:
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 584
Book Description
Here, after years of preparation, is the most ambitious book ever written about Hawaiian music - its roots, popularity and influences in the world, leading personalities and groups, organizations, songs, and publications. The complete story is here, from ancient chants to the flowering of the musical renaissance in Hawaii nei. Nearly 200 illustrations add to the book's appeal for Hawaiian music fans and serious students. Many rare photographs of historical interest are among the illustrations featuring singers, chanters, dancers, and instrumentalists. Musical instruments are also featured in drawings and photographs. Melody lines, chants, and rhythm patterns are illustrated by music notation. 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 her time, to the great names of the first half of the twentieth 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 orchestras, 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 musical instruments and the most loved and important songs of the last 150 years. Much of the material is new or original and fresh insights are brought to the more familiar topics. Some myths are dispelled, long-standing controversies discussed, if not settled. For instance, the book comes closer to answering the question "what is Hawaiian music?" than anything written so far. The work also contains and extensive annotated bibliography of works on Hawaiian music, and two discographies.

The Hawaiian Steel Guitar and Its Great Hawaiian Musicians
Author: Lorene Ruymar
Publisher: Centerstream Publications
ISBN: 9781574240214
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
(Fretted). The term "steel guitar" can refer to instruments with multiple tunings, 6 to 14 strings, and even multiple fretboards. To add even more confusion, the term "Hawaiian guitar" refers to an instrument played flat on the lap with a steel bar outside of Hawaii, but in Hawaii, it is the early term for the slack key guitar. Lorene Ruymar clears up the confusion in her new book that takes a look at Hawaiian music; the origin of the steel guitar and its spread throughout the world; Hawaiian playing styles, techniques and tunings; and more. Includes hundreds of photos, a foreword by Jerry Byrd, and a bibliography and suggested reading list.
