As with most MacDowell pieces, this one is very atmospheric. The sheet music states it should be played "not too sentimentally", and hopefully it's doesn't sound that cute.
I spent Christmas of 2008 away from my family, and as a way of compensating for my not being there, I intended to give them the gift of self-recorded music. Over the course of the fall, I re-learned a number of pieces done in the previous 3-4 years and began recording them. A week before Christmas, the computer upon which I was storing these tracks crashed, and I lost all the data. Rather than repeat the same catastrophe, I decided to use Web 2.0 to my advantage and start a blog detailing the re-records. Also, by doing it this way I'll hopefully get in the habit and continue to record into the future as I learn new works.
