Woodland Sketches, Op. 51

Description

Schirmer Library of Classics Volume 1805

This suite of tone poems has survived as MacDowell's best-known work. Included among the 10 pieces are the familiar miniatures, “To a Wild Rose” and “Will o' the Wisp.” The last work of the set, “Told at Sunset” reiterates a considerable amount of thematic material from earlier works, making the suite very effective when performed in its entirety.

2. Will o' the Wisp
3. At an Old Trysting Place
4. In Autumn
5. From an Indian Lodge
6. To a Water Lily
