The poem of the selection is from the song of Hiawatha, Hiawa-tha, by Longfellow and vividly depicts de-picts the death of Minnehaha, the wife of Hiawatha, from starvation and cold. The music is very attractive at-tractive lending all the charm of a beautiful descriptive symphony. The Services of Prof. A. C. Lund of Provo have been secured to sing the Baritone role, while Mildred Bradford, Brad-ford, a pupil of the Snow Academy wilj sing the Soprano Solo part. Orchestral Or-chestral men will be brought from Piovo and Salt Lake to work in connection con-nection with Snow Academy orchestra orches-tra making a complete full Symphonic Sympho-nic orchestra, while a chorus ; 1 5 voices entirely fnim the Academy will do the Choral work. Messrs. Lewis Dorius Huti'st, Thor-vald Thor-vald Breinholt and Emmanuel Anderson An-derson Bass Violinest, have been engaged by Conductor John T. Hand to assist in the orchestral work. The entire work will be given which requires nearly an hour for rendition Arrangements are under way to give performance of the work as a Madnee for the benefit of the District school children who have been studying the Song of Hiawatha in their work. Lewis Dorius, supervisor super-visor of music in the Public Schools, is planning to lay special stress on the musical part to be given, from now till the production, inordir that the children will be able to appreciate appre-ciate the rendition. The big work has had but one performance per-formance in Utah and that was in 1905 at the Salt Lake Music Festival when the Tabernacle choir and tne Chicago Symphony orchestra gave it in the Tabernacle. As far as is ascertained this will be one of the heaviest works ever given in the Church School System and th.! first time in Sanpete County or Southern Utah that a full orchestra has been assembled. Everything is now in readiness for the festival and n cordial invitation is extended to all to attend the e x-1 x-1 ercises. |
