Written by Queen Lili‘uokalani during the midst of her home imprisonment by those who overthrew her kingdom, The Queen’s Prayer (Ke Aloha O Ka Haku) is rich with emotional complexity. At times graceful, wistful, and hopeful, this arrangement recreates it all within the song’s four verses, highlighted by the interplay between the different textures of brass, woodwinds, and percussion.
