One Fond Embrace Until We Meet Again
Queen Liliʻuokalani, 1908
"Aloha ʻOe" (Good day to Thee) is a Hawaiian folk song written circa 1878 past Liliʻuokalani, who was then Princess of the Hawaiian Kingdom. It is her most famous vocal and is a common cultural symbol for Hawaii.
Background [edit]
The story of the origin of the song has several variations.[ane] They all accept in common that the song was inspired by a notable bye comprehend given past 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 melody on the way back to Honolulu. Dissimilar versions tell of alternating recipients of the embrace—either Liliʻuokalani's sister Princess Likelike Cleghorn or a young lady at the ranch.[ii] According to the well-nigh 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 Alone Rock past the Ocean," a annotate with which Liliʻuokalani is said to have agreed. When the party paused to rest in an orange grove on the Honolulu side of the Pali, the others joined in the hummings, and the vocal was completed later at Washington Place.[3]
The Hawaiʻi Country Archives preserves a hand-written manuscript[4] by Liliʻuokalani, dated 1878, with the score of the song, the lyrics, Liliʻuokalani's English translation, and her notation evidently added afterwards: "Composed at Maunawili 1878. Played by the Regal Hawaiian Band in San Francisco August 1883 and became very popular."
The first known recording of the vocal was released past Berliner Gramophone in 1898.[5] A catalogue issued past Columbia Records in 1901 mentioned 2 wax cylinders labeled "Song 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 now lost.[half dozen] Columbia Records later recorded a duet of the vocal by Nani Alapai and Henry N. Clark in 1911.[7] A 1913 score can be seen at the Levy Canvas Music Collection.[8]
