String orchestra - Digital Download SKU: IZ.OMS156 Composed by Marcia Stockton. Score and Parts. 13 pages. Imagine Music - Digital #OMS156. Published by Imagine Music - Digital (IZ.OMS156). 9 x 12 in inches.To a Wild Rose is the most popular piece in American composer Edward MacDowell's (1860-1908) well-known piano suite Woodland Sketches, Op. 51 (1896). Its simple, unassuming character portrays a pretty wild rose that one might encounter in the woods. Less elegant than their suburban garden cousins, the loveliness of wild rose blossoms is short-lived, fragrant and undisciplined. With this in mind, Stockton rejuvenated MacDowell's piano piece with a fresh orchestration featuring a lush string sound within younger musicians' capabilities.InstrumentationViolin I (divisi) up to 5th position; an optional ossia (the top voice down 1 octave) remains in 1st positionViolin IIViolaVioloncello (divisi)Contrabass (or bass cues in cello part).
