Chair Dela Cruz, Vice Chair Keith-Agaran, and members of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means: The Hawai‘i Tourism Authority (HTA) strongly supports House Bill 420 HD1 SD1, which removes the provision designating the Hawai‘i Convention Center (HCC) as the location for the operation of a Hawaiian center and museum of Hawaiian music and dance. The concept of developing a Hawaiian Center and Museum of Hawaiian Music and Dance is one that we fully support; however, the challenge has been the requirement of locating the center at the Hawai‘i Convention Center. By removing this requirement, we will then be allowed to work with the community to identify the best location for this very important facility. We humbly request your support of this measure. Thank you for the opportunity to offer testimony in support of House Bill 420 HD1 SD1.

For the most part, they will consist of student papers submitted in academic courses and which, in their respective ways, represent a contribution to existing knowledge of the Pacific. Their subjects will be as varied as is the multi-disciplinary interests of the Program and the wealth of cooperation received from the many Pacific-interested members of the University faculty and the cooperating com­ munity.

As students of the Hawaiian language, we have a particular interest in the Hawaiian language texts in the Collection. Up to now, however, there has been no single master list or file through which to gain access to all the Hawaiian language materials. This is an attempt to provide such list. We culled the bibliographical information from the Hawaiian Collection Catalog and the Library she1flists. We attempted to gather together all available materials in the Hawaiian language, on all subjects, whether imprinted on paper or microfilm, on tape or phonodisc.

  • Puana 'Ia Me Ka 'Oko'a: a Comparative Analysis of Hawaiian
    Vol. 5 (2011), pp. 107-133 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/ http://hdl.handle.net/10125/4494 Puana ‘Ia me ka ‘Oko‘a: A Comparative Analysis of Hawaiian Language Pronunciation as Spoken and Sung Joseph Keola Donaghy University of Hawai‘i at Hilo and University of Otago, New Zealand In this paper I argue that the differences between spoken Hawaiian and vocal perfor- mance of western-influenced “traditional” Hawaiian music are representative of the linguistic diversity found within the Hawaiian language. It contains a comparative analysis of Hawaiian Language Pronunciation as Spoken and Sung, using transcriptions of recorded examples by John Kameaaloha Almeida, a native speaker of the Hawaiian language and a prominent composer, singer, and instrumentalist. It will provide a pho- nemic analysis of notable and predictable variations heard in Hawaiian language vocal performances that are not heard in spoken Hawaiian. Further, it will show that rhythmic arrangement of morae over strong beats in the musical measure is largely analogous to accent in spoken Hawaiian, with some predictable exceptions. The paper also documents how, during his vocal performance, Almeida added three non-lexical vocables not heard in spoken Hawaiian. I argue that these characteristics and variation are indicative of the linguistic diversity found within the Hawaiian language and, as such, are worthy of the same attention and scholarly scrutiny as spoken Hawaiian. The second goal of this applied research is to present the results in a manner that is accessible to practitioners of Hawaiian language performance. 1. INTRODUCTION.1 One day during my time as an undergraduate student in the Hawaiian Studies program at the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo, I was listening to a record- ing of Rev.

  • The Pleasures and Rewards of Hawaiian Music for an 'Outsider'
    12 Living in Hawai‘i: The Pleasures and Rewards of Hawaiian Music for an ‘Outsider’ Ethnomusicologist Ricardo D . Trimillos Foreword I first met Stephen Wild at the 1976 Society for Ethnomusicology meeting in Philadelphia. Since that time we have enjoyed four decades as session- hopping colleagues and pub-crawling mates. In regard to the former, most memorable was the 1987 International Council for Traditional Music meeting in Berlin, where, appropriate to our honoree, one of the conference themes was ‘Ethnomusicology at Home’. It is this aspect of Stephen’s service that I celebrate in my modest effort for this festschrift. In 2006, the journal Ethnomusicology produced its ‘50th Anniversary Commemorative Issue’, which contained the essay ‘Ethnomusicology Down Under: A Distinctive Voice in the Antipodes?’ (Wild 2006). It was an informative and at times prescriptive account of the trajectory for ethnomusicology in Australia. I found the essay a most engaging exercise in personal positioning by an author within a historical narrative, one in which personality and persona were very much in evidence. Inspired by the spirit of that essay and emboldened by its novel approach, I share 335 A DISTINCTIVE VOICE IN ThE ANTIPODES observations about ‘doing ethnomusicology’ where I live—in Honolulu, Hawai‘i. This brief and personal account deliberately draws parallels with our honoree’s experiences and activities during a long career in his ‘homeplace’ (Cuba and Hummon 1993). The pleasures of Hawaiian music in California My first encounters with Hawaiian music were not in Hawai‘i but in San Jose,1 California, locale for the first two decades of my life.

  • Statement of JOHN DE FRIES Hawai'i Tourism Authority Before the SENATE COMMITTEE on ENERGY, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, and TOURISM
    Statement of JOHN DE FRIES Hawai‘i Tourism Authority before the SENATE COMMITTEE ON ENERGY, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND TOURISM Monday, February 8, 2021 3:00 PM State Capitol, Conference Room #224 In consideration of SENATE BILL NO. 916 RELATING TO TAXATION Chair Wakai, Vice Chair Misalucha, and members of the Committee on Energy, Economic Development, and Tourism: the Hawai‘i Tourism Authority (HTA) supports Senate Bill 916, which specifies that the $1,000,000 of Transient Accommodations Tax revenues currently allocated to operate a Hawaiian center and the Museum of Hawaiian Music and Dance may also be used to plan, design, and construct these facilities at an unspecified location. SB 916 is needed as we move forward to create the new Museum of Hawaiian Music and Dance. This measure will allow the funds to be utilized both for operations and development of the center. Currently, the law does not provide clear guidance as to how the funds may be utilized. The term “operations,” as found in the current statute, appears to restrict the use of the funds to the day-to- day activities of a center. Since this will be a new endeavor, we believe that allowing the funds to also be used for the planning, design, and construction will encourage more interest as we move forward in the Request for Proposal (RFP) process. It is for these reasons that HTA supports SB 916. We appreciate this opportunity to provide testimony.
