Hawai'i Pono'i is the state song and former national anthem of Hawaii. The words were written in 1874 by King David Kalākaua with music composed by Captain Henri Berger, then the king's royal bandmaster. Hawaiʻi Ponoʻī was the national anthem of the Kingdom of Hawaii and the adopted song of the Territory of Hawaii before becoming the state symbol by an act of the Hawaiʻi State Legislature in 1967.
