THE AMERICANS: Beach(Op. 60 & Op. 15) & MacDowell

Amy Beach: Variations on Balkan Themes, Op. 60 & Sketches, Op. 15MacDowell: Woodland Sketches & New England Idyls


I thought Dave’s presentation is pretty thorough. I have few things to add. I really like “To a Wild Rose” by MacDowell, sounds every nostalgic. Also, I found out that Beach had spent many summers at the MacDowell Colony!
Both composers are classified as the Boston Classicists.
