Phillip Sear plays an evocation of dawn (complete with bird song as the birds awake) by the American composer Charles Wakefield Cadman (1881-1946). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The American composer Charles Wakefield Cadman (1881-1946) was born in Pennsylvania and received his musical education in the US (he did not travel to Europe for training as did so many of his compatriots). One of his teachers was Leo Oehmler (whose 'Liebespfad' you will find on this channel). Cadman is best-known for his songs - in particular, 'At Dawning', sung by John McCormack; he is also remembered as an 'American Indianist', who studied and lectured on Native American music. The 1906 Prairie Sketches suite has prefatory verses by Cadman's friend and fellow Pittsburgher, the poet Nellie Richmond Eberhard (1871-1944). Alas they are missing from the copy I used, but if I find them, I may reproduce them here!
