Leo ʻelua — e kani pū ana a hiki ke hīmeni ʻia kēlā me kēia ma kona hoʻokahi
ʻElima mau pālua e hoʻolohe ai. Ma ka hema ke kākau ʻana i kākau ʻole ʻia pēlā, ma ka ʻākau ka mea pololei — a me kahi mele piha ma nā laina ʻumikumamākahi.
ʻO ka manaʻo o nā leo ʻelua e hana pū ana: hele nā leo ʻelua i ka manawa hoʻokahi, a he mele kēlā me kēia o lāua ma kona hoʻokahi. ʻOi aku kēia ma mua o ke kani maikaʻi pū ʻana — ʻaʻohe hewa o ke kāko ʻana e hahai haʻahaʻa ana ma ka mamao ʻekolu, akā ʻaʻole ia he leo lua. ʻO ka noʻeau ka loaʻa ʻana o nā mea ʻelua i ka manawa hoʻokahi: he kani hui e hāpai ana, a me nā laina ʻelua e hiki ai ke hīmeni ʻia kēlā me kēia ma kona hoʻokahi.
Ua hoʻonohonoho ʻia kēia aʻo ma nā pae; ma ʻaneʻi ke kū nei ka mua, nota kūʻē nota. Ua like ka lōʻihi o ka manawa o nā leo ʻelua, no laila he hoʻoholo kūʻokoʻa kēlā me kēia hālāwai. ʻO ia nō ka mea e lilo ai ka pae mua i pōhaku hoʻāʻo: ʻaʻohe nota e hala ana e hiki ai i ke kani ʻino ke peʻe ma hope ona.
Ma ʻaneʻi ke kū nei nā pālua ʻelima ma ka ʻaoʻao like. Ma ka hema ke kākau ʻana e kamaʻilio ʻia nei, ma ka ʻākau ka hoʻomaka like i kākau ʻia ma muli o nā lula. Hiki ke hoʻolohe i nā ala ʻelua, a aia mau ka ʻokoʻa i laila koke: ma ka neʻe like ʻana hehee nā leo a lilo i hoʻokahi, ma ka pau ʻana o ke mele noho hāmama mākou.
Mamao ʻelima like
ʻEkolu mamao ʻelima ma hope kekahi o kekahi, piʻi nā leo ʻelua: ʻo ia ka hewa kaulana loa ma ke kākau ʻana no nā leo ʻelua. Kūlike loa ka mamao ʻelima, a na nā mea ʻelua ma ka ʻaoʻao like e hehee ai nā leo a lilo i hoʻokahi — lohe ʻia kahi mele hoʻokahi me ka waihoʻoluʻu, ʻaʻole ʻelua laina. Ma ka ʻākau ua like nō ka leo lalo, hele kūʻē ka leo luna, a i laila koke aia hou nā leo ʻelua.
ʻOkakaha like
Pēlā nō me ka ʻokakaha, ʻoi aku ka mōakāka: pāpālua ka leo luna i ka leo lalo a pau kona noho ʻana he leo kūʻokoʻa. ʻIke ka mea hoʻolohe ʻaʻole ʻokoʻa loa kāna mea i lohe ai mai kahi mele hoʻokahi. Ma ka ʻākau hele ka leo luna mai ka ʻokakaha ma o ka mamao ʻeono i ka ʻekolu, a lilo ka pāpālua i leo kūʻē.
Kūlike ʻole ma ka hahau
Ma ka pae mua kū kahi mamao kūlike ma kēlā me kēia hahau. Ma ka hema aia ka mamao ʻehā a me ʻelua mamao ʻehiku — he kani e hoʻomākaukau a hoʻopau ʻia ma ke kākau ʻana no nā leo ʻelua, a ma ʻaneʻi kū wale nō. Ma ka ʻākau hiki mai ka ʻekolu, ka ʻekolu a me ka ʻelima. ʻO ka mamao ʻehā ka mea i hoʻopaʻapaʻa nui ʻia: ma waena o nā leo luna ʻelua ua lawa, ma luna o ke kani haʻahaʻa loa ʻaʻole lawa.
Hopena ma ka pau ʻana o ke mele
Ma ka hopena lawe ka leo luna i ka nota alakaʻi: ʻo ka hālāwai lua mai hope mai ʻo ia ka mamao ʻeono nui e ākea ana i ka ʻokakaha. Ma ka hema ʻaʻohe nota alakaʻi, a noho liʻiliʻi ka mamao ʻeono — pau ke mele ma ka ʻokakaha akā ʻaʻole i hiki maoli. Ua ʻae ʻia nā mea ʻelua, a kani ʻokoʻa lāua; noi ke aʻo kahiko i ka mamao ʻeono nui no ka hopena.
Kaulahao mamao ʻekolu
Ua ʻae maopopo ʻia kēia kaulahao, no laila ke kū nei ma ʻaneʻi: ʻaʻole i pāpā ʻia nā neʻe like a pau. Hiki i ka mamao ʻekolu a me ka ʻeono ke hahai kekahi i kekahi e like me ka makemake. Akā noho paʻa nā leo kekahi i kekahi — hana lāua i ka neʻe like, a lohe ka pepeiao i kahi mele hoʻokahi me ke kāko. Ma ka ʻākau ua lawa kahi neʻe kūʻē hoʻokahi, a lilo ke kāko i leo.
Mele piha ma nā laina ʻumikumamākahi
Ma lalo aia ka cantus firmus, ʻo ia ke mele i hāʻawi ʻia; ma luna ona hele ka leo kūʻē. Kūlike kēlā me kēia hālāwai, ʻaʻohe mamao hemolele i hana hou ʻia ma ke ala like, a hala ka pau ʻana ma ka mamao ʻeono nui i ka ʻokakaha. Hoʻololi ka neʻe kūʻē a me ka neʻe like — ʻaʻole ka leo kūʻē e hahai i ka leo lalo ma kahi ʻoi aku ma mua o ʻelua kaʻi.
ʻEhā lula o ka pae mua
ʻO nā mamao kūlike wale nō ke kani pū: ka mamao mua, ʻekolu, ʻelima, ʻeono, ʻewalu a me ko lākou hoʻonui ʻana i ka ʻokakaha aʻe. ʻAʻole ka mamao ʻehā ma waena o lākou ma ke kākau ʻana no nā leo ʻelua — ma luna o ke kani haʻahaʻa loa ua helu ʻia ʻo ia he mea kūlike ʻole. ʻAʻole kēia he mea no ka ʻono akā he hoʻoholo e kū ai ke aʻo holoʻokoʻa.
Ua pāpā ʻia ʻelua mamao hemolele kūlike o ke ʻano like ma hope kekahi o kekahi ke hele nā leo ʻelua i ke ala like: ka mamao ʻelima like a me ka ʻokakaha like. Hiki ke lohe i ke kumu, ʻaʻole ia he kauoha wale nō — hehee pū nā leo, mai ʻelua koe hoʻokahi. Ma ka mamao ʻekolu a me ka ʻeono hiki ke hele like, akā noho paʻa nā leo kekahi i kekahi.
Hala ka pau ʻana o ke mele ma waho o ka hopena: ʻo ka hālāwai lua mai hope mai ʻo ia ka mamao ʻeono nui, ʻo ka hope loa ka ʻokakaha, a piʻi ka leo luna i laila ma o ka nota alakaʻi. Loaʻa nā lula ma kēia ʻano iā Johann Joseph Fux, Gradus ad Parnassum, 1725 — mai ia wā mai he aʻo kula ia, a ma kēia ʻaoʻao ʻaʻole mākou e ʻōlelo wale iā lākou akā helu hou mai ke kani mai.
He aha ma ka ʻaoʻao
Ka inoa o nā mamao ma waena o nā kani ʻelua: Nā kaʻawale. Ka pau ʻana o kahi mele: Nā kadena. Ma loko o ke ʻano hea e kū ai kahi mele pēlā: Nā mode.

E kiʻi i ke paʻi kiʻi o ka pepa mele a i ʻole e hoʻokani i ke mele — ʻike ʻo Anotona i ke kī, kākau i nā leo, a lawe iā lākou i kekahi kī ʻē aʻe. Manuahi.
