After returning to his home country, he worked as a teacher while also being the director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra for eight years. During his studies in Germany, the musician already began to compose songs (with German texts), still in the European tradition. From 1886 he used English lyricism as a basis and preferred a sparing, yet expressive accompaniment of the piano. in his last songs, he placed special emphasis on the declamatory aspect of the text and expanded the harmonic range of his tonal language. of his 42 solo songs, the present volume contains six titles from three of his song collections: Composed or printed for the first time between 1890 and 1898, these songs are a representative selection from MacDowell's important middle creative period and, without doubt, a valuable addition to the song repertoire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContents:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThy beaming eyes, Op. 40, No. 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe swan bent low, Op. 56, No. 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA maid sings light, Op. 56, No. 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eO lovely rose, Op. 40, No. 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeserted, Op. 9, No. 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlumber song, Op. 9, No. 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eWorks:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Old Songs (1.
