"HIAWATHA"
) (To the Editor.) Sir,—ln your notico of the Choral I Union concert it is stated that "this ( , was the first occasion on which nil three parts (of 'Hiawatha')■ have been' given ' in Wellington." Mistakes of this kind are j ' constantly being made in' the columns i of the Press, and I shall bo glad if you will allow me to say that two per- ; , forinanccs of the complete work have j , been given here in past years. Parts V : 'and 2 wero at the Festival of 1903, i ' when Mr. Hamilton Hodges made His ' .-j I lirat appearance on a. Wellington plat- ; ) farm. , I quite agree with your critic's viewsabout part 3. In spite of some fine movements it drags heavily. Part lis delightful; part 2 hardly less so in its > sombre way;, but after that the com- ; poser's inspiration ran dry, or'at least ; only triokled.—l am, etc., ROBERT PARKER. 1 November 11, 1920. , ' [Mr. W. R. Bock also writes pointing ; out th'at there was a -previous perform- j anco of the third part of "Hiawatha."] ~ -,■•■'. i
