Edward MacDowell is considered to be the first American-born internationally renowned composer. Admired greatly by Franz Liszt and close friends with Edvard Grieg, he continued the European music tradition of the 19th century, but still developed his own personal style. Both Northern Songs op. 43 are his only a cappella works for mixed voices and are jewels of finely differentiated choral music. In Slumber Song MacDowell musically traces, in a poignant manner, how a child gently eases into a state of dreaming on an adult’s shoulder, while winter holds sway outside. In keeping with a lullaby, MacDowell has the lower three voices hum throughout the entire piece and with them builds up a fascinating harmonic foundation.
