MacDowell - "A Haunted House"
"A Haunted House" from Fireside Tales Op. 61 (1902) Edward MacDowell (1861-1908) was born in America, but his musical education was formed abroad. He studied piano at the Paris Conservatory where he was a classmate of Debussy. MacDowell later moved to Germany to study piano and composition and met some of the star European composers of the day, including Liszt. Through Liszt, MacDowell met Joachim Raff and became his pupil. In 1888, MacDowell returned to America and concertized as a pianist, which led to his being recognized as one of the great emerging American musicians. His status as an American composer also rose dramatically after he published numerous orchestral and piano works. When a teaching vacancy opened at the new music department of Columbia University in 1896, MacDowell was offered the post, which he promptly accepted. He became the first professor of music at Columbia and taught there for a number of years. In the last four years of his life, MacDowell suffered from a brain disease and his disintegrating health led to his death in 1908. By the time of his death, MacDowell had been applauded by American critics and audiences as a gifted piano virtuoso and one of America's greatest composers. MacDowell's output is hardly known today, although many piano students are intimately familiar with his sentimental piano piece entitled "To a Wild Rose." However, during his lifetime in America, MacDowell's suites for orchestra and piano sonatas were relatively popular <b>...</b>

MacDowell - "From an Indian Lodge"
"From an Indian Lodge" from Woodland Sketches Op. 51 (1896) While a few composers active in 19th-century America integrated or paraphrased Native American melodies in their works, MacDowell was the first significant composer (even before Dvorak) to write several works featuring transcriptions of authentic Native American melodies that had recently been published by American ethnomusicologists. For two of his piano pieces, From an Indian Lodge and Indian Idyl MacDowell incorporated Indian song, rhythms, and drum-like effects. His efforts would influence and help inspire an American music movement spearheaded by a faction of composers (Arthur Farwell, Charles Wakefield Cadman, and Henry Gilbert) known as the "American Indianists" who operated roughly from 1890 to 1920. Edward MacDowell (1861-1908) was born in America, but his musical education was formed abroad. He studied piano at the Paris Conservatory where he was a classmate of Debussy.

MacDowell - Piano Sonata No. 4 "Keltic"; I With great power and dignity
First movement from the Piano Sonata No. 4 in E minor Op. 59 (1901) Quoted from Lawrence Gilman's "Edward MacDowell": "With the publication, in 1901, of the 'Keltic' sonata, MacDowell achieved a conclusive demonstration of his capacity as a creative musician of unquestionable importance. Not before had he given so convincing an earnest of the larger aspect of his genius: neither in the three earlier sonatas, in the 'Sea Pieces,' nor in the 'Indian' suite, had he attained an equal magnitude, an equal scope and significance... This sonata marks the consummation of his evolution toward the acme of powerful expression. It is cast in a mould essentially heroic; it has its moods of tenderness, of insistent sweetness, but these are incidental: the governing mood is signified in the tremendous exordium with which the work opens, and which is sustained, with few deviations, throughout the work." Edward MacDowell (1861-1908) was born in America, but his musical education was formed abroad. He studied piano at the Paris Conservatory where he was a classmate of Debussy.

Andie MacDowell Interviewed on 'Weekend Today' (1997)
In 1997, actress Andie MacDowell appeared on 'Weekend Today' where she was interviewed by Jack Ford concerning her role in the Wim Wenders movie, 'The End of Violence.' Sadly, Jack Ford did not know how to pronounce Wim Wenders' name correctly. Also, if you listen to exactly what he asks her, I question whether or not he had actually seen the film.

MacDowell - Piano Sonata No. 2 "Eroica"; I Slow, with nobility
First movement from the Piano Sonata No. 2 in G minor Op. 50 (1895) Quoted from Lawrence Gilman's "Edward MacDowell": "The 'Eroica' bears the motto, 'Flos regum Arthuris,' and as a further index to its content MacDowell has given this explanation: 'While not exactly programme music,' he says, 'I had in mind the Arthurian legend when writing this work. The first movement typifies the coming of Arthur...' Indeed, I think it would not be extravagant to say that he has given us here the noblest musical incarnation of the Arthurian legend which we have." Edward MacDowell (1861-1908) was born in America, but his musical education was formed abroad. He studied piano at the Paris Conservatory where he was a classmate of Debussy. MacDowell later moved to Germany to study piano and composition and met some of the star European composers of the day, including Liszt.

Edward MacDowell: Four Little Poems, Op. 32
1 - The Eagle 2 - The Brook 3 - Moonshine 4 - Winter ----------------------------------- MacDowell (1861-1908) wrote this set of four short pieces in Wiesbaden, Germany in 1887 or 1888. He had been living there, teaching and composing, since 1883, the year after he had visited Liszt in Weimar. . This set - which MacDowell revised in 1906 - is really four miniature concert works, and it encapsulate many aspects of MacDowell's style. 'The Eagle' is prefaced by a poem of Tennyson: 'He clasps the crag with crooked hands; Close to the sun in lonely lands, Ringed with the azure world, he stands. The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls; He watches from his mountain walls, And like a thunderbolt he falls.' The music - written in the grand style of his sonata slow movements - is highly programmatic, almost balletic (note the depiction of the last line of the poem!). 'The Brook' depicts a poem by Bulwer-Lytton: 'Gay below the cowslip bank, see, the billow dances; There I lay, beguiling time - when I liv'd romances; Dropping pebbles in the wave, fancies into fancies.' The Dante Gabriel Rossetti prefacing 'Moonshine' is too long to reproduce here, but it depicts a weary tramp walking in the moonlight and being beguiled by the play of its reflected streaks. 'Winter' depicts the following Shelley poem: A widow bird sate mourning for her Love Upon a wintry bough; The frozen wind crept on above, The freezing stream below. There was no leaf upon the forest bare, No flower upon the ground, And <b>...</b>

Edward Macdowell : Sea Pieces, Op. 55 played by Herbert Fryer : Pianola Institute
MACDOWELL: Sea Pieces, Op. 55, Song, and AD 1620, recorded for the Welte-Mignon reproducing piano by Herbert Fryer at Steinway Hall in London in March 1909, published on rolls nos. 1575 and 1574, and played back in May 2009 on a Hamburg Steinway Welte grand, no. 209642, in London, England. Audio recording copyright 2009 by the Pianola Institute. Photos from "Edward Macdowell" by Lawrence Gilman, in the series, "Living Masters of Music", published in 1906 by John Lane, The Bodley Head, and from the Aeolian Company 1927 Duo-Art Catalogue. These two Sea Pieces (and there are two more on the same Welte rolls) are probably the earliest piano recordings of Macdowell's music that can be played back in something approaching hi-fi. On the day of uploading, they are one hundred years and 83 days old, and they sound remarkably natural. Herbert Fryer (1877-1957) studied at the Royal Academy of Music and Royal College of Music in London, and went on to have lessons with Ferruccio Busoni in Weimar. Although he is not as well-remembered as some other pianists, his international career was extensive and long-lasting. Like the Horowitz/Rachmaninov roll that is also amongst our videos, Fryer's performances have an intimate quality, which in this case especially suits the reflective nature of Macdowell's music. Given the "special relationship" that is loudly quoted as existing between the two English-speaking communities on opposite sides of the Big Pond, these rolls are a reminder that not <b>...</b>

MacDowell - Piano Sonata No. 1 "Tragica"; I Largo maestoso
First movement from the Piano Sonata No. 1 in G minor Op. 45 (1893) Quoted from John F. Porte's "Edward MacDowell: A Great American Tone Poet, His Life and Music": "Huneker, the celebrated American writer on music, described this sonata, soon after its appearance, as 'the most marked contribution to solo sonata literature since Brahms' F minor piano sonata.' The work is chiefly notable for its general boldness and strength, punctuated by passages of intimate tenderness and deepness of expression, and its slow movement is one of MacDowell's most inspired efforts." Quoted from Lawrence Gilman's "Edward MacDowell": "In the 'Tragica'--his first essay in [sonata] form--he has vouchsafed only the general indication of his purpose which is declared in the title of the work, though it is known that in composing the music MacDowell was moved by the memory of his grief over the death of his master Raff. The tragic note is sounded, with impressive authority and force, in the brief introduction, largo maestoso. The music, from the first, drives to the very heart of the subject: there is neither pose nor bombast in the presentation of the thought." Edward MacDowell (1861-1908) was born in America, but his musical education was formed abroad. He studied piano at the Paris Conservatory where he was a classmate of Debussy. MacDowell later moved to Germany to study piano and composition and met some of the star European composers of the day, including Liszt. Through Liszt, MacDowell met <b>...</b>

Third movement from the Piano Sonata No. 1 in G minor Op. 45 (1893) Quoted from John F.

The work is chiefly notable for its general boldness and strength, punctuated by passages of intimate tenderness and deepness of expression, and its slow movement is one of MacDowell's most inspired efforts. The Largo con maesta is the outstanding movement of the sonata, remaining to this day one of MacDowell's most impressive creations. The whole aspect of the movement is lofty in thought, vast in tonality and altogether indicative of power and of genius." Quoted from Lawrence Gilman's "Edward MacDowell": "In the 'Tragica'--his first essay in [sonata] form--he has vouchsafed only the general indication of his purpose which is declared in the title of the work, though it is known that in composing the music MacDowell was moved by the memory of his grief over the death of his master Raff. The tragic note is sounded... in the noble and sombre slow movement,--a largo of profound pathos and dignity..."

MacDowell - First Modern Suite; Praeludium
First Modern Suite Op. 10 (1883) Quoted from John F. Porte's "Edward MacDowell: A Great American Tone Poet, His Life and Music": "The first public performance of this suite was secured by Liszt, whom MacDowell had interviewed and who was entrusted with the making up of the programmes of the General Society of German Musicians at the time. It was on Liszt's recommendation, too, that this suite and its successor, the Second Modern Suite, were published by Breitkopf and Härtel at Leipzig." Edward MacDowell (1861-1908) was born in America, but his musical education was formed abroad. He studied piano at the Paris Conservatory where he was a classmate of Debussy.

Angelyn Traylor plays MacDowell Shadow Dance
Angelyn Traylor plays Shadow Dance - no. 8 from Twelve Etudes, op. 39 by Edward MacDowell. She is a 2009 graduate of LaGrange (Georgia) High School and will attend Auburn University in the fall to major in music as a piano student of Dr. Jeremy Samolesky. She currently studies with Rick Robertson in LaGrange. This video was made during a rehearsal for her senior solo recital. Her teacher learned a lesson about filming videos with shiny pianos - but he agrees this is the skinniest he's looked in a long time. UPDATE: Angelyn is now in her junior year at Auburn University, majoring in music education and studying piano with Dr. Jeremy Samolesky. This past January, she was crowned Miss Troup County 2011 and will compete in the Miss Georgia pageant this summer, playing the piano for her talent presentation. (Not this piece, though..)
