loved!" from "Hiawatha's Wedding
Feast" by Taylor.
The Song Of Hiawatha" has achiev-
ed degree OF popularity with Eng
lish speaking people particularly.
which Is all but unprecedented among
may be to some extent due to the af-
lection which Longfellow's poem In
spires. Taylor's setting unmistaka bly,
makes direct appeal to the public on
account of its evident sincerity and
on account Of the Righteousness with
which the composer has reproduced by
flowing melodies, incisive rhymths and
effective harmonies the romantic at
mosphere and the fascinating pictures
queness Of the verses. The composer
has succeeded in the difficult task Of
heightening the eloquence of the words
without resorting to means of musical
expression. which 1t requires great ef-
fort to appreciate. 1t is of surprising
beauty and originality. rich in unique
and picturesque effects. II carries with
1t the very fragrance of the forest
and sets forth wildly the deep passions
Of JOY and sorrow that surged through
the hearts of the simple wigwam race.
