Description

This collection of tone poems stands as MacDowell's most recognized work. Among the ten pieces are the well-known "To a Wild Rose" and "Will o' the Wisp." The final piece, "Told at Sunset," revisits significant thematic elements from earlier compositions, enhancing the suite's impact when performed in full. The technical demands of these pieces are comparable to those found in "Sea Pieces," Op. 55.
