Except the mill-wheel's round._

The music is of the kind that remains in the memory for a long
time and is of a quality as moving in its sadness as anything
MacDowell ever composed. Its suggested scene seems to be the
bleak and icy winter of North America.



OPUS 33. THREE SONGS, FOR TENOR OR SOPRANO AND PIANOFORTE.

_Composed, Wiesbaden_, 1888. _First Published_, 1894 (J.
Hainauer. Revised Edition of Nos. 2 & 3--Arthur P. Schmidt).

1. _Prayer._

2. _Cradle Hymn._

3. _Idyl._

These songs are rather beautiful, and sincerely, although not
grandly, inspired. They are probably the least known in America
and England of MacDowell's songs, but they do not lack a fine,
spiritual outlook.



OPUS 34. TWO SONGS, FOR VOICE AND PIANOFORTE.

_Composed_, 1888. _First Published_, 1889 (Arthur P. Schmidt).
