The pictures are so PERFECT for the music - you couldn't have done better, and they take us back to a simpler time and where nature ruled supreme. Love the Americana feeling. Always struck by the - space- so inherent in MacDowell's music.
Wow I adore this composition! Never heard from him before but the music manages to find a very easy way into my heart. You chose very atmospheric pictures and you have a good touch for maintaining that too. Thanks for letting us experience this delightful piece of art.
Thank you Hal Freedman for playing and posting this composition. I consider MacDowell to be a nature poet in the same class as Thoreau and Emerson, direct and attuned to the majesty, intimacy and mystery of the world, particularly the Northeast.
I love MacDowell. In his time he was considered to be one of the world's greatest composers. He has been eclipsed by college professors who want to extol the virtues of Copland, Bernstein, Gershwin, Harris, and contemporary Americans. While I love the music of these composers, MacDowell is the only American who does justice to the great European Romantic Tradition of music. His detractors will say that his music sounds German, but I personally think it sounds as American as Grieg sounds Norwegian. I think that MacDowell is the greatest purely Romantic American composer of the 19th and early 20th century.

I feel like Johnny Costa, the piano player for "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood" was very influenced by Edward MacDowell, aside from jazz.
This melody was stolen by the movie "Spinout" and sung by Elvis Pesley as "Am I Ready" (to fall in love with you.
