Summary

DescriptionHe Mele Lahui Hawaii.jpg	English: He Mele Lāhui Hawaiʻi (The Hawaiian National Anthem or The Song of the Hawaiian Nation) was composed in November 1866 at the request of Kamehameha V, who wanted a national anthem to replace the British anthem God Save the King. It replaced Lunalilo's composition E Ola Ke Aliʻi Ke Akua as the national anthem. 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. This remained in use as our national anthem for some twenty years or more when my brother composed the words Hawaiʻi Ponoʻī."
