To A Wild Rose

MacDowell's quiet, contemplative composition from "Woodland Sketches" provides a beautifully expressive and reflective addition to any secular program as well as an appropriate offertory piece. The uncomplicated nature of the piece's simple, slow-moving rhythms and patterns will appeal to the less experienced, while the expressive possibilities can provide an opportunity for the more advanced performer to develop musical interpretive skills. Delicate and charming.
