Program Notes

Relive the legend of the warrior-king of Hawaii's past. A bold and powerful introduction signifies the declaration of war. Driven by authentic-sounding percussion rhythms, the ensuing melody in the woodwinds provides the framework for the piece. After a brief slower section, the mighty army prepares for its next conquest as the music builds to a rousing conclusion.
