He Mele Lāhui Hawai'i (BYUH University Chorale)

Original music sheet:    • He Mele Lāhui Hawaiʻi - Queen Liliʻuokalan...   "He Mele Lāhui Hawaiʻi" ("The Song of the Hawaiian Nation") was composed by Queen Lili`uokalani in November 1866 at the request of Kamehameha V, who wanted a national anthem to replace the British anthem "God Save the King". In one short week, she composed this song. Liliʻuokalani wrote: "The king was present for the purpose of Criticising my new composition of both words and music, and was liberal in his commendations to me on my success. He admired not only the beauty of music, but spoke enthusiastically of the appropriate words, so well adapted to the air and to the purpose for which they were written.''
