Description

Rare musical quotation from Hawaii's last queen, the composer of 'Aloha Oe'

Last reigning monarch of the Hawaiian islands (1838-1917) who actively pursued the preservation of the islands for their native residents; an accomplished author, songwriter, and musician, she wrote numerous songs and chants including 'Aloha Oe.' Exceedingly rare AMQS on an off-white 9.25 x 3, titled "Ah You Roguey" and signed below, "By Liliuokalani of Hawaii." Queen Liliuokalani pens two lines of music and lyrics for the song, which is to be sung "Lively" and have a "Laughing Chorus." In fine condition. Autographs of Liliuokalani are generally scarce, and musical pieces are extremely rare.
