VIERRA'S ROYAL
Hawaiian Singers and Players
THE talking machine companies are finding great difficulty in supplying the demand for records of Hawaiian music, both instrumental and vocal. Therefore, it is to be doubted if a more popular offering will be made in the Lyceum this season than Vierra's Royal Hawaiian Singers and Players. Hawaiian companies were a feature attraction in the Horticultural Building at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco, and this particular company has already proven a big success in the Lyceum.
Mark Twain, after his first visit to the Hawaiian Islands, said, in an interview: The music of the Hawaiians, the most fascinating in the world, is still in my ears and haunts me sleeping and waking. I can still hear the pulsing of the surf at Waikiki, see the plumy palms drowsing by the shore, the garlanded crags, and the leaping cascades, and this music fills me with the spirit of its woodland solitudes. Just as this music fascinated the beloved American writer, so has it captivated thousands of people from both hemispheres who annually stop at the Islands.
For those who cannot visit these lovely lands, we have brought this quintet of Hawaiian singers and players and they can be enjoyed in your own town. Hawaiian music by the gifted native singers and players has been a great success in America because it is different. The wistful beauty of the music seems to carry the American audience across the Pacific to those beautiful islands of the South Seas. We hear the native Hawaiians singing and playing, describing in turn, love for country, birds and flowers, tropic moon, soft murmuring of the waves on the beaches of Waikiki. Love songs are particularly effective. The melodious strains of the songs and the accompaniment on native instruments, with the peculiar sliding of the fingers on the strings, is plaintive and fascinating.
Vierra's Royal Hawaiian Quintet was selected to fill lyceum engagements after the Affiliated Managers had listened to concerts by every standard Hawaiian company in America. Each member of the Quintet is a soloist, either instrumental or vocal, and the ensemble work of the company is most pleasing.
Their repertoire includes all the songs of Hawaii sung in native tongue, many of the popular airs of this country and classical and operatic numbers. The entire company appears in native Hawaiian dress. They present a musical program of real merit.
