Notes for Pauli KA’OLEIOKU II
BUGLER, KAWAIAHAO ASST CHOIR MASTER, MUSIC EDUCATOR
He entered into bugling in the time of William Tell, the leader, and he was the only student who remained in the position of bugler for the soldiers of the king from Kauikeaouli Kamehameha Ill on down to Lunalilo, and held that position until his death. He was a smart man in music, and he indeed was the foremost of the Hawaiian men who deeply understood the things relating to music, and great was his assistance in directing the choir of Kawaiahao; and he was also seen in the concert audiences with the chiefesses Pauahi and Kamakaeha. He was appointed by the Board of Education as music teacher for the government schools of the district of Kona, Honolulu, and from that job his burden of life was released [he died).
