"Hawaiʻi Ponoʻī" ("Hawaii's Own") is the anthem of the U.S. state of Hawaii. It previously served as the national anthem of the independent Hawaiian Kingdom during the late 19th century, as well as the short-lived Republic of Hawaii, and has continued to be Hawaii's official anthem ever since annexation by the United States in 1898.
History
The words were written in 1874 by King David Kalākaua with music composed by Captain Henri Berger, then the king's royal bandmaster. "Hawaiʻi Ponoʻī" is one of the national anthems of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi and also was the national anthem of the Republic of Hawaiʻi.
It was adopted as the national anthem in 1876,[1] replacing Liliʻuokalani's composition "He Mele Lāhui Hawaiʻi". It was the adopted song of the Territory of Hawaiʻi before becoming the state symbol by an act of the Hawaiʻi State Legislature in 1967. The melody is reminiscent of "God Save the King" and the Prussian anthem "Heil dir im Siegerkranz".[2] "Hawaiʻi Ponoʻī" is commonly sung at sporting events in Hawaii, immediately after the U.S. national anthem.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". It is sung at many local schools and Local Service Organization Meetings and Events.
In the Hawaiian language, "Hawaiʻi Ponoʻī" means "Hawaiʻi's Own".
