He experimented with atonality , quarter tones, and clashing time signatures, decades before the avant-garde movement. Most of his music uses (simultaneous) quotations from popular tunes, military marches, patriotic songs, and hymns of the time. He wrote four symphonies, including the Dvorakian Symphony No. 1 Concord Sonata Three Places in New England New England Holidays The Unanswered Question Much of Ives's music is in a polytonal style, and occasionally employs microtones (intervals smaller than a semitone). In addition, he experimented with conflicting rhythms, dissonant harmony and counterpoint, chord clusters, and the spatial presentation of music. He also made frequent use of hymn and folk tunes. He composed alone, without much thought for the ease of performer or publisher, earning his living very successfully from his own insurance company. He stopped composing around 1920, but it was only after his death that his music was widely played and appreciated. He was a child prodigy on the piano and organ, and worked as an organist well into his adult life. Dvorakian Symphony No. 1

The son of a Danbury, Conn., bandmaster, Ives was greatly influenced by the rather eccentric musical ideals of his father, and began composing as a young adult. His studies with Parker at Yale led to the relatively conventional First Symphony (1898) and song sets of at the turn of the century. His profession, however, was selling insurance, not writing music, and even though he diligently produced three monumental symphonies and numerous orchestral and chamber works in middle age, most of it was written without prospect of performance. Ironically, he became among the most widely performed American composers of his generation after death, and the only consistent characteristic of this music is defiant originality and disregard for convention. He died in New York in 1954.

Both fathers seem to have shared a certain dreaminess that expressed itself in speculating about art and, in the case of Carl Adams, took the form of several failed attempts to establish himself as a painter after an some earlier experience playing jazz clarinet and saxophone.

Peter Burkholder Shopping Cart Reviews Table of Contents Google full text of this book: This volume shows Charles Ives in the context of his world in a number of revealing ways. Five new essays examine Ives's relationships to European music and to American music, politics, business, and landscape. J. Peter Burkholder shows Ives as a composer well versed in four distinctive musical traditions who blended them in his mature music. Leon Botstein explores the paradox of how, in the works of Ives and Mahler, musical modernism emerges from profoundly antimodern sensibilities. David Michael Hertz reveals unsuspected parallels between one of Ives's most famous pieces, the Concord Piano Sonata, and the piano sonatas of Liszt and Scriabin. Michael Broyles sheds new light on Ives's political orientation and on his career in the insurance business, and Mark Tucker shows the importance for Ives of his vacations in the Adirondacks and the representation of that landscape in his music. The remainder of the book presents documents that illuminate Ives's personal life. A selection of some sixty letters to and from Ives and his family, edited and annotated by Tom C. Owens, is the first substantial collection of Ives correspondence to be published. Two sections of reviews and longer profiles published during his lifetime highlight the important stages in the reception of Ives's music, from his early works through the premieres of his most important compositions to his elevation as an almost mythic figure with a reputation among some critics as America's greatest composer.

The Library of Congress presents . . . SEARCH BROWSE ABOUT HELP ... home biography brief display Ives biography [biography] [Charles Ives], [n.d.]. To hear the music of composer Charles Ives is to hear a unique voice in American music, and indeed, in Western music as a whole. His work is at once iconoclastic and closely tied to his musical heritage; in its conception and form, both staggeringly complex and immediately accessible; and in its musical language, both universal and distinctly American. Ives's life is as diverse and colorful as the often mosaic-like character of his music. By the age of thirteen, Charles's composition Holiday Quickstep (now lost), a march for chamber ensemble, was performed publicly to encouraging reviews in the Danbury Evening News ("...certainly a musical genius... we shall expect more from this talented youngster in the future"). By the age of fourteen, Charles had become a salaried organist at his local church. During services, he often performed free improvisations on familiar hymns which apparently often included audacious musical effects such as fugues in multiple keys simultaneously. In addition to his musical talents, Ives was also an accomplished athlete, and was captain of several baseball and football teams. In the fall of 1894, Ives began his first year at Yale College, and continued his study of composition with Horatio Parker (1863-1919). The American-born, German-trained Parker insisted on Ives's rigorous adherence to traditional forms. While Ives's Symphony no. 1 (1898-1901, revised 1907-8), begun under Parker's tutelage, was heavily indebted to nineteenth century European symphonic models, this early work still demonstrated the composer's affinity for synthesizing accepted art music with music of the "every day" (i.e. hymn tunes, band marches, parlor songs, etc.), presented in innovative ways. Apparently this effort was unacceptable to Parker; Ives reports that "the first subject went through six or eight different keys, so Parker made me write another first movement."

"Er beantwortet Nachlässigkeit mit Verachtung." — Arnold Schönberg, 1945 "Über viele Jahre konnte ich mit Ives Musik nichts anfangen. Nachdem ich jedoch meine eigene Musik geändert hatte, wurde Ives für mich ein äusserst bedeutender Musiker." — John Cage "Nature is prepared to welcome into her scenery the finest work of human art, for she is herself an art so cunning that the artist never appears in his work. Art is not tame, and Nature is not wild, in the ordinary sense. A perfect work of man's art would also be wild or natural in a good sense. (...) Art can never match the luxury and superfluity of Nature. In the former all is seen; it annot afford concealed wealth, and is niggardly in comparison; bu Nature, even when she is scant and thin outwardly, satisfies us still by the assurance of a certain generosity at the roots." — Henry D.
