About this piece
Michael-Thomas Foumai is a Honolulu-born composer of Samoan descent and the first composer in residence of the Hawaiʻi Symphony Orchestra. Breath Water Spirit was commissioned by the Bardin-Niskala Duo and traces the story of Hawaiʻi "from the undiscovered island, to the arrival of the Hawaiians, the ancient battles for unification under Kamehameha I, to the overthrow of the Hawaiian kingdom by the United States, and beyond." [1] It runs about ten minutes and is a substantial recital piece for cello and piano.
