Sheet Music
Three of King Kalakaua and Queen Lili`uokalani's most important compositions have been reproduced from original music sheets in beautiful copies produced exclusively for The Friends of `Iolani Palace. 
Aloha `Oe. Also known as Farewell to Thee, the words to this popular and endearing song were written as a love song by Queen Lili`uokalani in 1878 and were first introduced to the American public in San Francisco by the Royal Hawaiian Band in 1883. #32002
Lili`uokalani's Prayer. Also known as The Queen's Prayer, this was composed by Queen Lili`uokalani on March 22, 1895, during her imprisonment in `Iolani Palace. It was dedicated to her niece, Princess Ka`iulani. #32001
Hymn of Kamehameha. Also also known as Hawai`i Pono`i, the words to this song were written in 1874 by King Kalakaua with music by Henry Berger, Bandmaster of the Royal Hawaiian Band. Its premiere performance was at Kawaiaha`o Church on November 16, 1874, the first anniversary of the King's birthday following his accession to the throne. Hawai`i Pono`i was proclaimed the national anthem of the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1876; it was declared the official State anthem in 1967. #32003
