Product Details | <p><strong>This delightful tone poem is from Edward MacDowell's Woodland Sketches, originally composed for piano. <br /><br />His Woodland Sketches, Op 51, a suite of 10 short piano pieces, were composed in 1896, perhaps the most well known and frequently transcribed being “To a Wild Rose”. MacDowell described these compositions as “suggestive music”, where the title indicates the composer`s intentions but without being slavishly programmatic.<br /><br />This beautiful composition, “To a Water Lily” is not as well-known among non-pianists as “To A Wild Rose” but, in our opinion, is more worthy of praise. </strong></p><p><strong>It transcribes most effectively to woodwind instruments which are capable of adding sustained sound and atmosphere, impossible to achieve on the percussive piano. </strong></p><p align="center"><strong> <a href="http://www.drdowningmusic.co.uk/Music/Flute/WaterLilyFl.htm" target="_blank" title="The Water Lily by Edward McDowell for Flute Solo">Click here for preview</a></strong><br /></p> |
