This dramatic work was inspired by the legend of Kamehameha, the warrior-king of Hawaii who came to power in the late-18th century. Through his many conquests and great generosity toward subjects, Kamehameha has captured a significant place in Hawaiian history and has been called the Napoleon of the Pacific. The brief and powerful introduction represents a bold declaration of war. A faster allegro section suddenly ensues, and is driven by percussion dance rhythms and a haunting woodwind melody. The music slows briefly, as the mighty army prepares for the next campaign. In the final section, the song of war from the introduction returns, as the great king fearlessly leads his army to splendid victory. Energy and boldness of spirit are vital for a successful, gratifying performance. Percussion is the driving force throughout the piece, but must never overplay.
