Hiawatha's Wedding Feast is a cantata written by the American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in 1898. It tells the story of Hiawatha, a Native American hero, and his wedding to Minnehaha. The cantata is written for a tenor soloist, chorus, and orchestra, and is divided into three parts. The first part describes the preparations for the wedding, including the gathering of food and the building of the wedding feast. The second part tells the story of Hiawatha's courtship of Minnehaha, and the third part is the actual wedding feast. The cantata is known for its use of Native American rhythms and melodies, and for its vivid depiction of Native American life and culture. It has been performed by many orchestras and choirs around the world, and is considered a classic of American choral music.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
