"James Revell Carr contributes to the diversity of perspectives for understanding Hawaiian music and expressive culture. His study positions the Hawaiian experience as one of mutual interaction with the Anglophone world and constitutes a welcome historical resource for specialists in American music, ethnomusicology, dance ethnology, Hawaiian studies, American studies, culture studies, performance studies, and ethnic studies."--American Music

"Hawaiian Music in Motion is an important contribution to our understanding of the effects of outside influences on Hawaiian music and dance."--Journal of the Society for American Music
