Format : Score and Parts
Edward MacDowell (1860-1908) est considéré comme le premier grand compositeur américain de l histoire de la musique bien qu il refusait avec vigueur d être associé à un quelconque courant musical nationaliste. Edward MacDowell a toujours considéré que la musique était une véritable langue internationale et ses œuvres sont fortement influencées par le style de composition européen et plus particulièrement par l écriture allemande. Compositeur adulé de son vivant dans son pays natal et à l étranger il était également un pianiste exceptionnel dont la virtuosité a impressionné l un de ses plus brillants professeurs Franz Liszt. Edward MacDowell a composé de nombreusesœuvres pour piano un grand nombre de lieder ainsi que plusieurs œuvres orchestrales. Mais l œuvre la plus connue de son répertoire est une charmante suite de miniatures musicales pour piano Woodland Sketches une composition modeste et stylistiquement simple dont est extraite la plus célèbre de ces miniatures To a Wild Rose ( À une rose sauvage ). L étonnante sincérité de la mélodie fit dire à un grand critique musical que cette mélodie valait toutes les œuvres pour piano réunies de MacDowell.

He composed a large number of orchestral works but it is the charming and unpretentious suite of musical miniatures, Woodland Sketches, that has survived as his best-known work, with To a Wild Rose being the most popular.
