Hawaiian Opera: an Exposition and Development of a Life-Vision

By Harvey Hess and Jerre Tanner

"These days, composers realize the importance of the text, and with greater pressure to deliver a masterpiece every time, it had better be solid both musically and textually. Harvey Hess in one of that breed who crafts words for a particular musician.
The Hawai'i-based composer Jerre Tanner is emerging as a major force in music, and his operatic texts have been the result of collaboration with his dear friend Harvey Hess."
