9780521590723 / The Life of Charles Ives (Musical Lives) Illustrated Edition
by Cambridge University Press; Illustrated edition (September 28, 1999) (Author)
Ives’ life (1874-1955) spanned two centuries; he grew up in the nineteenth and composed chiefly in the twentieth. His nostalgia for a simpler life in the New England town of his youth is revealed in his frequent musical quotation of songs of that earlier time: parlor and patriotic songs, hymns and gospel music that he learned from his father, a village bandmaster, and the most important influence on his life and music. This book clarifies the complexity of the man and his music–music that is uniquely autobiographical and that itself illuminates the narrative.
