List of compositions and works by Leleiohoku : ウィキペディア英語版 | List of compositions and works by Leleiohoku Prince William Pitt Leleiohoku II (1854–1877), was a poet and composer of many Hawaiian ''mele'' (songs), mostly love songs. He was the youngest of the ''Na Lani Ehā'' ("Royal Four"), which included his sisters Queen Liliuokalani (1838–1917) and Princess Miriam Likelike (1851–1887) and his brother King David Kalākaua (1836–1891). Leleiohoku and his siblings are credited with the musical revival enjoyed by Hawaiians during the last half of the 19th century. Many of his compositions adapted folk tunes of visiting merchants, sailors, and foreign settlers.〔 Liliuokalani said that Leleiohoku had a talent for composition "really in advance" of herself and Likelike. He founded the Kawaihao Singing Club and soon he and his colleagues were winning most of the royal song club competitions. Many claimed that he had one of the best male voices among native Hawaiians. =='' Kāua I Ka Huahuai ''== ''Kāua I Ka Huahuai'', translated as "We Two in the Spray", is considered one of Leleiohoku's greatest compositions. The song dates to the 1860s written when the Prince was 10–14 years old . The song became popular around 1930, when Johnny Noble, bandleader at the Moana Hotel on Waikiki Beach, transformed it into the very jazzy: "Tahuwahuwai", better known as The Hawaiian War Chant. The only reason this song is confused for a war chant is because of its lively melody.〔Na mele o Hawai'i nei: 101 Hawaiian songs By Samuel H. Elbert, Noelani Mahoe. Page 61〕 Unlike the immortal Aloha Oe of his sister Liliuokalani, the original lyrics of this love song are no longer popular but the melody of the song is known as "The Hawaiian War Chant". The Hawaiian lyrics describe a clandestine meeting between two lovers, which may involve the Prince's own affair with an unknown woman.
