Extractions: The American composer Charles Ives learned a great deal from his bandmaster father, not least a love of the music of Bach. At the same time he was exposed to a variety of very American musical influences, later reflected in his own idiosyncratic compositions. Ives was educated at Yale and made a career in insurance, reserving his activities as a composer for his leisure hours. Ironically, by the time that his music had begun to arouse interest, his own inspiration and energy as a composer had waned, so that for the last thirty years of his life he wrote little, while his reputation grew. Orchestral Music The symphonies of Ives include music essentially American in inspiration and adventurous in structure and texture, collages of Americana, expressed in a musical idiom that makes use of complex polytonality (the use of more than one key or tonality at the same time) and rhythm. The Third Symphony, for small orchestra, reflects much of Ives's own background, carrying the explanatory title Camp Meeting and movement titles Old Folks Gatherin', Children's Day and Communion. The Fourth Symphony includes a number of hymns and Gospel songs, and his so-called First Orchestral Set, otherwise known as New England Symphony, depicts three places in New England. Chamber Music The first of the two string quartets of Ives has the characteristic title From the Salvation Army and is based on earlier organ compositions, while the fourth of his four violin sonatas depicts Children's Day at the Camp Meeting.

Is he a romantic, or more the kind of a musical craftsman constructing polytonal music scores? ... On this page you will also find links to some audio files of Ives' music to get a first impression. Charles Ives (1874-1954) is a great American composer. His music wasn't esteemed very high by his contemporaries, as he often doesn't obey the rules of the classical or romantic music styles. Now he is widely recognized as Father of the modern American music . Nevertheless, when talking with my friends, I still have the impression that many people get a strange feeling when hearing most of his works. I think about everything he has composed be it important for the development of modern music or not sounds great , just because it sounds great. I enjoy it, maybe just because it's so complicated. Hope you don't conclude that I'm entirely crazy. Here is a list of Ives's works, that I use to listen regularly, together with a simple rating. The links go to my own descriptions of the works, personal rather than scientific ones: Symphony No. 2 (*) [listen

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/style/longterm/books/chap1/ives.htm

Extractions: By Jan Swafford Chapter One: At Home The settlers laid out Towne Street, the future Main, along the Indian trail that had brought them there. They erected their spare houses along it and planted crops, and the land proved fertile. Other families arrived, some bearing names also destined for local renown: Starr, Wildman, and Wood. In 1687 the twenty families in the settlement petitioned the General Court for a charter under the name Swampfield, which described much of the land. Governor Robert Treat granted the charter but decreed the more propitious name of Danbury, after a town in his native Essex. As New Englanders did in those days, the people of Danbury worked together raising houses, pulling stumps, planting and harvesting. Most were Congregationalist, also like most New Englanders; the entire community cooperated to erect the first meetinghouse in 1695. In the next century a dispute erupted around First Congregational Church and Reverend Ebenezer White, father of Joseph Moss White, who would be father-in-law of Danbury's first Ives. Another Yankee determined to find his own way up the mountain, Reverend White denounced church control of government and the doctrines of original sin and infant damnation. The imbroglio around his dismissal in 1764 divided the citizenry and led to the formation of White's New Danbury Church. Some disaffected Congregationalists joined the Episcopal church, founded in 1762. This spiritual controversy and its outcome boded a town relatively diverse in religious makeup and, in the end, relatively tolerant as web.

Extractions: C OMPOSING serious music still seems to be an un-American activity. Our composers are caught between rock or jazz or Broadway and the hardened repertory of the concert hall. If they aim low, the critics accuse them of writing bad imitations of good popular music. If they aim high, their music is dismissed as "European" a code word implying that the music is derivative, abstruse, and snooty. If they aim for the bland accessibility audiences are willing to tolerate, their music will be played once or twice and then justifiably forgotten. What would it take to make American music unequivocally American? Assuming for the moment that this is desirable, it would take a composer whose work both addressed a broad public and was serious in its emotional or ethical concerns. The music would both induce a feeling of national nostalgia, the way Elgar's does for the English, and envision our brash future. In short, it would take or should have taken a Charles Ives . Ives has been hailed as the founding father of American music ever since his Concord Sonata was first performed, in 1939. Yet the man, the music, and most of all the contradictory myths surrounding Ives only heighten the suspicion with which Americans view their native concert music.
