Hiawatha..(A Summer Idyl)..1902..Neil Moret

There are recordings of this by Charley Rogers and Parke Hunter in original recordings.  I only discovered this after I'd written the arrangement, which I've taken from the piano score, consequently if does differ in parts. I've kept it as a simple as I could and it's fairly straightforward apart from the trio which is slightly challenging to play at the given tempo. The piano score is in G/C, I've arranged it in F/Bb and I've added some octave repeats. I've seen reference to this being recorded by Ossman but so far, I've not come across a recording by him. The score and midi are in the library...Steve.

Horrifically slow, but Ossman nevertheless.

Hi Marc, thanks for that, I quite liked this played by Osman at a slightly slower tempo...Steve.

Yah, some of the mechanisms in those were speed adjustable, some were not...and stiff grease or a weak spring would get the RPM well below 78. That one sounds like it needs a new spring! The announcer sounds like a baritone when he's probably a tenor...

Hi Joel, apart from setting it in F rather than G, it's interesting to see that my arrangement isn't too far away from both of them....Steve.

I have the sheet music for an arrangement by Arthur Stanley.  I can't scan it as the sheet music is too big for my printer but here are some photos:

Hi Carrie, it seems that the scores for Hiawatha  are like the proverbial British bus, you wait for ever and one never comes and then you get 4 all together!...Steve.
