Composed by Edward MacDowell (Edgar Thorne). Arranged by Lisa Ochoco. Children,Romantic Period. 43 pages. Lisa L Ochoco #2081653. Published by Lisa L Ochoco (A0.559379).Edward MacDowell was an American composer born in New York on December 18, 1860. He began playing the piano at a very young age and was studying piano and composition in the Paris Conservatoire under Claude Debussy by the time he was 15. Later, he moved back to America, and he and his wife lived on a secluded farm on the East Coast, where MacDowell wrote most of his music.
Forgotten Fairytales was written under MacDowell's pseudonym, Edgar Thron. It was published in 1897 and was dedicated to his wife. This work isn't about any particular story. MacDowell just loved fairy tales and folklore.
1. Sung Outside the Prince's Door: Like its title, this movement is about a prince being serenaded. The melody is sweet and has a sense of longing. This movement should be played with a lot of tenderness.
2. Of a Tailor and a Bear: This movement is about a tailor that kept his violin near him at work so he could play whenever he felt like it. One day a bear entered his shop. The tailor was frightened, but remembered that bears like music, so he started playing his violin for the bear. To his surprise, the bear started dancing. Soon, the bear's keeper arrived and took the dancing bear home.
3. Beauty in the Rose Garden: This movement was inspired by the story "Beauty and the Beast." The music tells of Beauty's pity towards the Beast.
4. Dwarfland: This movement is not based on a particular fairytale. It's just about the little people in various fairytales that cause mischief, and sometimes evil. In the hope that no harm would be done, food and drink were left on the doorstep for the little people. Will this appease their need to play pranks? You be the judge!
