Book Synopsis Listening to Charles Ives by : J. Peter Burkholder
Download or read book Listening to Charles Ives written by J. Peter Burkholder and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-02-10 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Ives is widely regarded as the first great American composer of classical music. But listening to his music is an adventure—hearing how a piece begins may not prepare you for what comes next, or how it ends. Knowing one Ives piece may not prepare you for another. Award-winning music historian J. Peter Burkholder provides an introduction to the composer’s diverse musical output and unusual career to readers of any background, discussing about forty of the best and most characteristic pieces framed with biographical sketches. Burkholder shows how Ives mastered each tradition he encountered, from American popular music to classical European genres, from Protestant church music to his own unique experimental idiom, and then interwove elements from all these traditions in the astonishing works of his maturity. Listening to Charles Ives contains compelling walkthroughs of select pieces and ultimately reveals that there is an Ives piece for everyone.

Download or read book Charles Ives and His World written by J. Burkholder and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Charles Ives and His Music written by Henry Cowell and published by New York : Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1955 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often called 'the father of American music,' Charles Ives, who died in May 1954, left a heritage of music which will in all probability be as widely known and loved from now on as it was neglected in the past generation. The authors have written a warm, moving story of Ives's life and art. Born in Danbury, Connecticut, in 1874, Charles Ives was long regarded by many as a musical eccentric. Today, he is more and more thought of as a creator as truly and triumphantly American as were Mark Twain and Walt Whitman. As a youth, he was the restless pupil of his father (also a musician), and loved to try new things in musical idiom. Ives was a Connecticut Yankee to his roots, at home with the world of nature, militantly idealistic, relentless in his integrity, diligent in his appointed duties, and proud of resulting achievements. He was a better baseball player than organist when he entered Yale and, afterward, more successful as a businessman than as a composer. He believed that artists could bear their economic burden without endangering their art. Consequently, he applied himself to building one of the great insurance sales agencies of America. His composition was done in the hours he could spare from his vocation. As he prospered, much of his money went to print and publish his music, to hire performances so that he might hear what he wrote, and to make his music available. But, at first, performers and conductors scorned as unplayable music far beyond their talents and imaginations. The burden of vocation and the frustration of avocation brought on an early physical collapse, and Ives spent the last half of his life in retirement and partial invalidism. With financial means to devote himself wholly to composition, he now lacked the strength, and his will to continue composing was damaged by long artistic isolation. The music of Charles Ives is a cultural sourcebook of America at the turn of the century. Ives took the evangelical hymns, the melodies of the dance hall, the military band marches, the sounds of village life, college and fraternity songs, the music of the world of nature, and set them faithfully. He then shaped, interwove, and integrated them so that a fresh musical work might emerge - familiar in substance but of startling drive, perception, and vigor. 'The fierce complexity of reality' was Ives's conception of the nature of things and music.

Book Synopsis The Music of Charles Ives by : Philip Lambert
Download or read book The Music of Charles Ives written by Philip Lambert and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this innovative analysis of the music of Charles Ives, Philip Lambert fills a significant gap in the literature on one of America's most important composers. Lambert offers the first large-scale theoretical study of Ives's repertoire, encompassing major works in all genres. He argues that systematic techniques governed Ives's compositional language and thinking about music, even in his unconventional and apparently unstructured pieces. He portrays Ives as a composer of great diversity and complexity who nevertheless held to a single artistic vision. Using modes of analysis for post-tonal music and approaches devised specifically for the study of Ives as well, the author explains the origin, evolution, and culmination of Ives's systematic methods. He discusses important aspects of the composer's early training, the relation between Ives's experimental and his concert music, Ives's fugal and canonic techniques as the basis for his systematic music, his paradigms of procedure and transformation, and pitch relations in Ives's music, particularly the unfinished Universe Symphony. Lambert refutes the popular image of Ives as a highly eccentric composer haphazardly casting about for arbitrarily regulated ways of generating musical material and instead portrays him as a keenly determined and resourceful artist who gradually discovered ever more powerful tools for creating remarkably original music.

Book Synopsis Charles Ives in the Mirror by : David C Paul
Download or read book Charles Ives in the Mirror written by David C Paul and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American composer Charles Ives (1874–1954) has gone from being a virtual unknown to become one of the most respected and lauded composers in American music. In this sweeping survey of intellectual and musical history, David C. Paul tells the new story of how Ives's music was shaped by shifting conceptions of American identity within and outside of musical culture, charting the changes in the reception of Ives across the twentieth century and into the twenty-first century. Paul focuses on the critics, composers, performers, and scholars whose contributions were most influential in shaping the critical discourse on Ives, many of them marquee names of American musical culture themselves, including Henry Cowell, Aaron Copland, Elliott Carter, and Leonard Bernstein. Paul explores both how Ives positioned his music amid changing philosophical and aesthetic currents and how others interpreted his contributions to American music. Although Ives's initial efforts to find a public in the early twenties attracted a few devotees, the resurgence of interest in the American literary past during the thirties made a concert staple of his "Concord" Sonata, a work dedicated to nineteenth-century transcendentalist writers. Paul shows how Ives was subsequently deployed as an icon of American freedom during the early Cold War period and how he came to be instigated at the head of a line of "American maverick" composers. Paul also examines why a recent cadre of scholars has beset the composer with Gilded Age social anxieties. By embedding Ives' reception within the changing developments of a wide range of fields including intellectual history, American studies, literature, musicology, and American politics and society in general, Charles Ives in the Mirror: American Histories of an Iconic Composer greatly advances our understanding of Ives and his influence on nearly a century of American culture.
