Donald Johanos- Haleakala: How Maui Snared the Sun (CD)
Dan Welcher, a professor at the University of Texas, composed Haleakala: How Maui Snared the Sun in 1991, when he was composer-in-residence at the Honolulu Symphony. The text, by Ann McCutchan, is drawn on a Polynesian folktale that sketches an origin for the seasons (yes, they do have them in Hawaii). Welcher's music, beginning with a Copland-esque vocabulary, follows the text closely but has convincing arcs of it's own; it is not a film soundtrack. Hawaiian percussion and bits of melody are employed. The story centers on a youthful trickster god named Maui, whose namesake is presumably one of the present Hawaiian islands. The narrator is none other than actor Richard Chamberlain.
Tracklist:
- Haleakala: How Maui Snared The Sun (Tone Poem)
- Light Coming On The Plains
- Canyon With Crows
- Starlight Night
- Very Fast-Slowly-Dancing
- Blues And Toccata (On The Name 'Benny Goodman')
