Island of Peace Overviews

200 years ago in Hawaii... there were no plantations, no ranches, no missionaries, no visitor industry, no hotels, no radio, no multitracking, no singing (only chanting), no overdubbing, no lyrics to engage the talking head, no record company formulas... no entertainment industry...

There were a few Hawaiian men and women who were the original recipients of a "new" instrument called a guitar. Sitting in the peaceful splendor of their environment, they created a unique art form called ki ho'alu -- Hawaiian slack key guitar. They were inspired by simple, natural wonders... the little crabs skittering to and fro on the beach, the moon shimmering off the deep seas, the mist swirling around the mountains, the honu (sea turtles) riding the giant rolling waves, the soft whispering tradewinds, the ua lani pili (rains from the near heavens), ...

Island of Peace, the newest release by Doug & Sandy McMaster, is ki ho'alu in this real old style. Nothing more, nothing less. Enhanced to include a FREE video, screensaver, photo gallery, and more when you put the CD in your computer. The video is a little taste of the magical sunsets by Hanalei Bay on the mystical island of Kauai.

One of our favorite tracks is the title song, Island of Peace, which was a gift from a baby humpback whale that was born in the middle of Hanalei Bay on February 18, 2002 as we and our sunset slack key 'ohana watched on and serenaded the sun to bed. The name Island of Peace was the gift of a visiting monk.

The obtainable manuscripts had to be meticulously marked out by a transcriptionist and were limited in number. In fact, while music was acknowledged on a wide scale, they were probably spread about by crossing minstrels and troubadours. They were certainly not obtainable in imprinted kind at the local music shop.

Prior to the creation of the branding media in the mid 15th century, very few private citizens owned or had found out to sheet music. The ones in presence were owned by a few wealthy noblemen. Simply because the exclusively way to distribute written music was to replicate it by hand, it's little wonder that sheet music was scarce.

The process took prolonged hours and cautious replicating skills, as well as access to the correct materials. Before the printing press, the only music accessible in written score was sacred songs. Most of these were chants implemented in liturgical services. Virtually no secular music scores existed prior to the 15th century.

The creation of the printing press in 1439 changed the history of sheets for music. This is in spite of the fact that the initially methods of recreating musical scores were almost as painstaking as copying music by hand. Italian printer Ottaviano Petrucci may be considered the "father of sheet music."

He formulated the first strategy for recreating sheet music. He was also given a restricted patent for his work, providing him an early monopoly on the business for numerous years. His method included three stages. The paper was pressed three times. First, the staff was printed. On the second impression, the words were added. The final impression laid down the notes.

The disadvantage to the operation was that it was time-consuming and expensive. This made it relatively incorrect for the regular citizen to possess sheet music. However, technologies improved over the years. Consequently, much better and more helpful techniques of printing were produced.

Most of the very first music that was printed was sacred music. In fact, the printing, distribution and publication of music were typically manipulated by the church for quite a few centuries. Gradually this changed, and soon music providers located themselves in the blooming business of music submitting. The retail submission of sheet music became popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s. This appeared to be in spite of the fact that there was no ways for advertising particular songs or artists, like radio or the media.

Portastatic CustomerReview

This Dvd pretty good. The quality is a little better than some of the other bootlegs i've seen... couple different camera angles and such. My only complaints with it are that the dvd starts about halfway through the first song and the between song banter/tuning was edited (i think) but that's just me...i would have like to have watched the whole thing unedited. Overall, a nice little find...not sure if this thing was sanctioned with merge or portastatic for dvd sales (the producer site has it for download) but it works for me because portastatic never tours where i live. Oh and i wish jim wilbur would have been playing bass for this show too...then i'm sure the between song banter would have been left in.
