It is such a great shame that MacDowell the composer (in contrast to the namesake of the artists' residency) is chiefly remembered for a not-particularly-compelling small piece, "To a Wild Rose," from his Woodland Sketches. He wrote lots of other interesting pieces, many of them daring and of large scope. It would be as if Beethoven were remembered chiefly for "Für Elise;" it's hardly a bad piece, per se, but it is nothing compared to the rest of the output. In MacDowell's case, "To a Wild Rose," isn't even the most interesting piece in the suite! Have a listen to another movement from the same collection, and check out some of his larger works while you're at it (the second and third volumes of this disc collection have the bigger works on them.)
