Variation On A Celebrated Air

In the year 1916, the hottest fad in the music world was "Hawai'ian" music.
The quotes are there because most of what came out was by non-Hawai'ians.

That was the year of the hit "Oh How She Could Yacki Hacki Wicki Wacki Woo."
See what I mean ?

The compositions of Henry S. Sawyer were published by the McKinley Music Company.
They had some series called "Transcriptions, Variations, And Medleys On Celebrated Airs."

Series 3 came out in (you guessed it) 1916. Sawyer's contribution was "Aloha Oe Waltzes."
The first part is "In Honolulu By The Sea." I suspect that was an original by Sawyer himself.

The second part is a waltz version of Queen Liluokalani's famous authentically Hawai'ian tune.
This last monarch of the kingdom of Hawai'i was a versatile musician and a prolific composer.

The third part is apparently more original material by Sawyer. Here is the complete work.

Queen Lili'uokalani reigned for two years (1891-1893) before the monarchy was overthrown and the Republic of Hawai'i was established. That was counter to her goals, which included strengthening the power of the monarch.
The Republic existed until 1900, when Hawai'i became a U. S. territory. The former queen died one year after this publication came out. I wonder whether the composer ever heard this interpretation of her masterpiece. . . .
