To A Wild Rose (E. MacDowell, 1896)
Edward MacDowell (1896): To A Wild Rose
From "Woodland Sketches", Op. 52, No. 1
This is MacDowell's most famous short piece, a very plain, but beautiful, melody which the composer has marked "With simple tenderness".
This is an old arrangement for fretted instrument ensemble by Jim Hulley, taken from our group's repertoire folders. Played on mandolin, with accompaniment on two tenor guitars and octave mandolin.

Re: To A Wild Rose (E. MacDowell, 1896)
During the current on-off lockdown, I have been re-recording some of the arrangements that we normally play during our weekly mandolin gatherings. Here is another one I did over the weekend, MacDowell's "To A Wild Rose". For my home video, I have simplified the quartet arrangement to just melody and tenor guitar arpeggios -- keeping it simple is arguably the point of this piece. Also a bit faster than my earlier recording, closer to the composer's indicated 88 bpm.
