Hiawatha's Wedding Feast is a cantata composed by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and based on the poem The Song of Hiawatha by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. The piece is scored for tenor solo, chorus, and orchestra and was first performed in 1898. The cantata tells the story of Hiawatha's marriage to Minnehaha, with the tenor soloist taking on the role of Hiawatha and the chorus representing the various characters and events of the story. The music combines elements of African American spirituals and Native American melodies, creating a unique and vibrant sound. The piece has become a beloved classic of choral repertoire, known for its lush harmonies, rhythmic energy, and vivid storytelling.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
