A Christmas Carol: Victorian Carols with Readings from Dicke

Contrasting music rooted, like American painting of the late nineteenth century, in the European and American tradition: Charles Griffes was the first American 'Impressionist' composer while Macdowell took the American landscape and it's scenes as his inspiration.

Music from America's brilliant period, from the end of the Civil War to the second decade of the 1900s, reflected in an album of piano music and songs. Edward Macdowell and others wrote music of great beauty and refinement: and there are songs from Stephen Foster, and early ragtime too, in the works of Joplin and others.
