Hawaii-born Dai-Keong Lee composed "The Polynesian Suite" featuring 3 movements : 1) Ori Tahitian, 2) Hula, 3) Festival. It was written in 1958, and performed in conjunction with statehood celebrations in 1960 by the Honolulu Symphony Orchestra. Hungarian born composer wrote both "Mana Hawaii (The Spirit of Hawaii" and "Pacific Triptych" which stopped in Japan, Kauai & Tahiti. "Mana Hawaii" features several movements: "Worship to Kane","Luau Festival On The Royal Grounds","Anger Of Pele","Sunny Nature/Happy Life" etc. Also in the jacket was a signed letter from the composer to to the program director of a Honolulu radio station (1965) thanking him for deciding to air the recording & asking his opinion of it. Also, I can't go without mentioning the great cover art..the back jacket reads "Sculpture of the goddess Pele by Paul Fujimoto, carved in the Studios of Hardwoods Hawaii, Ltd. Honolulu.
