Composer Biography
Charles Ives's father, George Ives, began his musical career as the youngest bandmaster in the Union Army during the Civil War.
Composer Biography
Charles Ives worked in the insurance business to pay his rent, as he suspected the experimental music he wanted to write would be beyond most listeners.
Composer's Artistic Vision
George Ives, Charles Ives's father, told his son that any combination of notes is acceptable if one can make sense out of them, a unique license for a composer at that time.
Recording & Production
This album was recorded live in concerts at the Eugene McDermott Concert Hall in Dallas across several dates in 2004, 2005, and 2006.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Ives meticulously explored modernist musical techniques like polyrhythm, polytonality, and atonality years before musical 'modernism' itself was born.
Critical Reception
The Third Symphony, titled 'The Camp Meeting', won the Pulitzer Prize in 1946, though Ives famously stated, 'Prizes are badges of mediocrity'.
