It was the appearance of the first part of Hiawatha, in 1898, that spread Coleridge-Taylor's fame all over the English-speaking world, and just as it was the composer's first really important success, so it has remained the most popular of all his music.
In its vivid and yet simple rhythm, its fresh and natural melody, and the warmth of its orchestral treatment, the music is obviously ideally mated with Longfellow's poem. The ' Wedding Feast' was first performed alone, the second part, ' The Death of Minnehaha', appearing a year later at a North Staffordshire Festival. ' Hiawatha's Departure', which completes the trilogy, was first performed by the Royal Choral Society in London in the spring of 1900.
Dances, songs, and readings from the West Coast with Kitty McLeod (soprano)
Alex. MacGregor (baritone)
Alex. MacKenzie (reader) and pipers and fiddlers
One of the types of programme most frequently requested by Scottish listeners is Scottish dance music, and the ' Scottish Half-Hour' this evening should satisfy these people. The dances will be played by a section of the strings of the BBC Scottish Orchestra, and one of the highlights will be the inclusion of the Scottish or Foursome Reel, which will be played in the authentic manner with the Strathspey played by the strings and the Reel by a quartet of pipers. To give dancers a breathing-space, there will be an interlude of songs and an appropriate reading.
