Home Composers Index Musical Epochs Musical Forms ... Links Charles Ives (1874-1954) Epoch: Modern Country: USA Picture Gallery Introduction (born Danbury, CT, 20 October 1874; died New York, 19 May 1954). He was influenced first by his father, a bandmaster who had libertarian ideas about what music might be. When he was perhaps 19 (the dating of his music is nearly always problematic) he produced psalm settings that exploit polytonality and other unusual procedures. He then studied with Parker at Yale (1894-8) and showed some sign of becoming a relatively conventional composer in his First Symphony (1898) and songs of this period. He worked, however, not in music but in the insurance business, and composition became a weekend activity - but one practised assiduously: during the two decades after his graduation he produced three more symphonies and numerous other orchestral works, four violin sonatas, two monumental piano sonatas and numerous songs. The only consistent characteristic of this music is liberation from rule. There are entirely atonal pieces, while others are in the simple harmonic style of a hymn or folksong. Some are highly systematic and abstract in construction; others are filled with quotations from the music of Ives's youth: hymns, popular songs, ragtime dances, marches etc. Some, like the Three Places in New England , are explicitly nostalgic; others, like the Fourth Symphony, are fuelled by the vision of an idealist democracy. He published his 'Concord' Sonata in 1920 and a volume of 114 songs in 1922, but composed little thereafter. Most of his music had been written without prospect of performance, and it was only towards the end of his life that it began to be played frequently and appreciated.

Yale, 1898; pupil of Dudley Buck and Horatio Parker. He was organist (1893-1904) in churches in Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York. In the insurance business from 1898 to 1930, Ives was at the same time composing music that was advanced in style, anticipating some of the innovations of Schoenberg and Stravinsky, but not influencing the trend of music because most of his works were not published. They were little known until 1939, when performance of his second piano sonata, Concord (1911-15), won him wide recognition. In 1947 his Third Symphony was awarded the Pulitzer Prize. His works include symphonies, orchestral suites, sonatas, organ pieces, choral works, a great deal of chamber music, and about 150 songs. He often used American folk music in compositions evoking the spirit of various aspects of American life such as revival meetings and brass-band parades.

Ives, Charles (1874 - 1954) 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.

Home Composers Charles Ives updated 6 January 2003 Born in Danbury, Connecticut on 20 October 1874, Charles Ives pursued what is perhaps one of the most extraordinary and paradoxical careers in American music history. Businessman by day and composer by night, Ives's vast output has gradually brought him recognition as the most original and significant American composer of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Inspired by transcendentalist philosophy, Ives sought a highly personalized musical expression through the most innovative and radical technical means possible. A fascination with bi-tonal forms, polyrhythms, and quotation was nurtured by his father who Ives would later acknowledge as the primary creative influence on his musical style. Studies at Yale with Horatio Parker guided an expert control overlarge-scale forms. Ironically, much of Ives's work would not be heard until his virtual retirement from music and business in 1930 due to severe health problems. The conductor Nicolas Slonimsky, music critic Henry Bellamann, pianist John Kirkpatrick (who performed the Concord Sonata at its triumphant premiere in New York in 1939), and the composer Lou Harrison (who conducted the premiere of the

Komponisten Charles Ives Biographie Hauptwerke Photo Gallery Home Page Die Biographie von Charles Ives Amerikanischer Komponist: oberflächlich betrachtet war Ives ein amerikanischer Allerweltsjunge. An der High School von Connecticut war er Kapitän des Football- und des Baseball-Teams. Studien an der Yale University gipfelten in einer äußerst erfolgreichen Karriere im Versicherungsgeschäft. Mit Fünfzig war er ein reicher Mann und hätte sich auf einen langen, kömfortablen Ruhestand freuen können. Das aber hätte geheißen, die Rechnung ohne Ives Senior machen; George Ives, ein beachtlicher Dorfkapellchef, pflanzte seinem Sohn schon frühzeitig eine Vorliebe für die natürlichen Dissonanzen des Alltagslebens ein: da war der Mißklang, wenn zwei Kapellen nebeneinander zwei verschiedene Märsche spielten; oder die von einer größeren Menge mit vielen falschen Tönen gesungenen Choräle, Hymnen und ähnliches. Als er endlich nach Yale ging, um ordentlich Musik zu studieren, war das Malheur schon passiert, und sein, Professor Horatio Parker, war entsetzt über die exzentrischen Flausen dieses Jünglings, dem Brahms nicht eine Spur mehr bedeutete als Stephen Foster.

COMPOSERS CHARLES IVES Born: October 20, 1874. Danbury, CT Died: May 19, 1954. New York, NY In his own words... "Beauty in music is too often confused with something that lets the ear lie back in an easy chair. Many sounds that we are used to do not bother us, and for that reason we are inclined to call them beautiful. Frequently possibly almost invariably analytical and impersonal test will show that when a new or unfamiliar work is accepted as beautiful on its first hearing, its fundamental quality is one that tends to put the mind to sleep." American composer. Ives' music was little appreciated in his lifetime, but has since been recognized for its quality and innovative characteristics. According to Charles Ives, his interests in experimenting with sound came from his father, a town band director. Ives tells stories of his father having the band divided into two halves and marching toward each other playing different pieces; or of tuning two pianos a quarter-tone off from each other and playing them together. This kind of daring approach marks most of Charles Ives' music and explains its slow acceptance in the musical world. Apart from what he learned from his father, Ives' musical training was rather traditional. He studied at Yale with Horatio Parker and produced a somewhat unsurprising work, his
