Sommario/riassunto

From earliest times, the chanting of poetry served the Hawaiians as a form of ritual celebration of the things they cherished. This anthology embraces a wide variety of compositions: it ranges from song-poems of the Pele and Hiiaka cycle and the pre-Christian Shark Hula for Ka-lani-opuu to postmissionary chants and gospel hymns.
