Published Hawaiian Songbooks

Abstract

lished to date' focus on pre-European Hawaiian music, thereby precluding any sustained inquiry into the problematic aspects of the later repertory. The remaining secondary literature either summarizes the findings contained in the monographs or presents journalistic interviews with performers and composers. The signal publication in 1979 of Hawaiian Music and Musicians: An Illustrated History2 made available a wealth of new information on Hawaiian music. It contains, in encyclopedic format, biographical essays (e.g., Lili'uokalani), brief articles on narrow topics (e.g., Ipu), and lengthier surveys of greater breadth (e.g., Chant and Internationalization of Hawaiian Music). The selected discography and annotated bibliography, both compiled by Elizabeth Tatar, were pathbreaking endeavors in the field. Tatar's bibliography has since been superseded,3 and the comprehensive discography she envisioned is now being compiled under the auspices of the Hawaii Academy of Recording Arts. Amy Ku'uleialoha Stillman holds degrees in ethnomusicology and Hawaiian studies from the University of Hawaii; she is currently on a Fulbright fellowship in Tahiti, conducting fieldwork for a dissertation in musicology at Harvard University.
