The “Woodland Sketches” piano suite is one of two works (the other being Piano Concerto No. 2) that secures MacDowell’s throne in the pantheon of American greats. The suite consists of 10 pieces, each depicting a specific image uniquely associated with the American countryside. The most renowned, “To a Wild Rose”, found its way into a permanent presence within the common repertoire and into popular culture. The pieces, often sharing stylistic motifs, are recombined and summarized in the last movement, “Told at Sunset”.
