Published by EMK Music (A0.834116). ‘To a Wild Rose’ is one of the most popular pieces from Edward MacDowell’s ‘Woodland Sketches’ (Op.51) written in 1896. While the melody of ‘To a Wild Rose’ has a poignant and retrospective romantic simplicity, more contemporary textures are achieved through the use of more progressive chords with altered, fifths, sevenths and ninths. The overall effect is an endearing charm that has contributed to its longevity.
