“To a Wild Rose” is one of the most beloved pieces by American composer Edward MacDowell, originally written for piano as part of his Woodland Sketches, Op. 51 (1896). Simple yet deeply expressive, the piece evokes the quiet beauty and fragility of a wildflower in nature—a hallmark of the American Romantic style.

🎶 In this video, I present my own solo guitar transcription of To a Wild Rose, carefully adapted to capture the lyrical phrasing and gentle harmonies of the original. This arrangement preserves the delicate mood of MacDowell’s writing while exploring the warm, resonant qualities of the classical guitar.

📹 The performance features:

Focus on right and left hand technique, while the full score is displayed in real time, allowing you to follow along as you listen.

Whether you're a guitarist, a classical music enthusiast, or simply discovering this timeless piece for the first time, I hope you enjoy this intimate rendition.
