Charles Ives,Three Places in New England.
The Three Places in New England (Orchestral Set No. 1) is a composition for orchestra by American composer Charles Ives. It was composed mainly between 1911 and 1914, although sketches for the work date from 1903, and the latest revisions were made in 1929. The piece is famous for its use of musical quotation and paraphrasing. Three Places consists of three movements in Ives' preferred slow-fast-slow movement order: I. The "St. Gaudens" in Boston Common (Col. Shaw and his Colored Regiment) II. Putnam's Camp, Redding, Connecticut III. The Housatonic at Stockbridge The three movements are ordered with the longest first and the shortest last, and a complete performance of the piece lasts eighteen or nineteen minutes. As he does in his Orchestral Set No. 2, Ives inverts the fast-slow-fast movement order typical of most three-movement works, using instead a slow-fast-slow order. The piece has become one of Ives' most commonly performed compositions. It exhibits most of the signature traits of his style: layered textures with multiple, sometimes simultaneous melodies, many of which are recognizable hymn and marching tunes; masses of sound including tone clusters; and sudden, sharp textural contrasts. Each of the three movements is named for a place in New England, USA. Each is intended to make the listener experience the unique atmosphere of the place, as though s/he is there. To that end, Ives' paraphrasing of American folk tunes is a particularly important device, providing the listener with tangible reference points. The intention was to make the music accessible despite its avant-garde chromaticism. Three Places in New England aims to paint a picture of American ideals, lifestyle and patriotism at the turn of the twentieth century.

Symphony No. 2 - Charles Ives
Symphony No. 2 - Charles Ives
Symphony No. 2 was written by Charles Ives between 1897 and 1901. New York Philharmonic Leonard Bernstein Although the work was composed during Ives' 20s, it was half a century before it premiered, in a 1951 New York Philharmonic concert conducted by Leonard Bernstein. The symphony premiered to rapturous applause but Ives responded with ambivalence. Indeed, he did not even attend the concert in person but had to be dragged by family and friends to a neighbor's house to listen to the live radio broadcast. The public performance had been postponed for so long because Ives had been alienated from the American classical establishment. Ever since his training with Horatio Parker at Yale, Ives had suffered their disapproval of the mischievous unorthodoxy with which he radically pushed the boundaries of European classical structures to create soundscapes that recalled the vernacular music-making of his New England upbringing. Like Ives' other compositions which honor the European and American inheritances, the Second Symphony never makes verbatim quotation of popular American tunes such as "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean", "Camptown Races", "Long, Long Ago", and "America the Beautiful", but reshapes and develops them into broad themes. There is a subdued version of the opening notes of Beethoven's fifth symphony and a rescoring of part of Brahms' first symphony, as well as a reference (early in the first movement) to the chorales of Johann Sebastian Bach. The work is an interesting precedent to another significant piece of the 20th century, Luciano Berio's Sinfonia, which was composed about 65 years later. Ives' 5th movement uses quotation techniques comparable to Berio's in his 3rd movement. Bernstein's premiere and subsequent interpretations were later widely criticized for taking extravagant liberties with the score. Although the 1951 score itself contained about a thousand errors, Bernstein reportedly also made a substantial cut to the finale, ignored Ives' tempo indications, and prolonged the terminating "Bronx cheer" discord. Many conductors and audiences, influenced by Bernstein's example, have enthusiastically considered the last of these practices one of the trademarks of the piece. In 2000, the Charles Ives Society prepared an official critical edition of the score and authorized a recording by Kenneth Schermerhorn and the Nashville Symphony Orchestra to adhere more closely to Ives' intentions.

Charles Ives - Sonata for Violin & Piano, No. 3
Sonata, for violin & piano No. 3, S. 62 (K. 2C6), (1913-1914) I. Adagio II. Allegro III. Adagio Timothy Fain, violin Jeremy Denk, piano Between about 1902 and 1916, Charles Ives, in his mid-thirties and early forties, at the peak of his composing career, completed four sonatas for violin and piano. More than any other similar cluster of his compositions in a single genre, these sonatas all seem to be citizens of the same musical world. Each has three movements; each includes one or more movements in "cumulative" musical form; each is tinged with the music of American Protestant hymnody and ends with a finale based on a hymn-tune; and all are comparatively "easy" pieces (by Ives's standards). Nevertheless, each sonata has its own characteristics. Ives accepted the traditional fast-slow-fast pattern of movements in Sonatas 1 and 4, but Sonatas 2 and 3 are slow-fast-slow, a non-traditional, Ivesian pattern first tried out in his Third Symphony. Sonatas 1 and 3 are basically abstract, with no specific extra-musical movement titles. Sonata 2, however, has such titles ("Autumn," "In the Barn," and "The Revival"), and Sonata 4 is subtitled "Children's Day at the Camp Meeting." A word about the "cumulative form" that crops up in so many movements of these sonatas (the first and last movements of Sonatas 1 and 2 and all the movements of Sonatas 3 and 4). The term was introduced by the Ives scholar J. Peter Burkholder, in his magisterial study All Made of Tunes: Charles Ives and The Uses of Musical Borrowing (1995). Such pieces begin with subtle suggestions and developments of musical fragments that hint at a pre-existent melody, then gradually work toward a culmination in which the "borrowed" melody is revealed in its simple entirety, usually with climactic effect. Essentially, Ives invented this musical form, which is the one he favored in his maturity. Ives offered characteristically picturesque comments about three of the sonatas. Of the Third Sonata: "An attempt to suggest the feeling and fervor - a fervor that was often more vociferous than religious - with which the hymns and revival tunes were sung at the camp meetings held extensively in New England in the '70s and '80s. The tunes used or suggested are Beulah Land, There'll Be No More Sorrow, and Every Hour I Need Thee. The first movement is a kind of magnified hymn of four different stanzas, all ending with the same refrain. The second movement may represent a meeting where the feet and body, as well as the voice, add to the excitement. The last movement is an experiment: the free fantasia is first; the working-out develops into the themes, rather than from them; the coda consists of the themes for the first time in their entirety and in conjunction. The tonality throughout is supposed to take care of itself." By now, their technical and expressive challenges welcomed by performers (and many listeners), Ives's violin sonatas are considered among the most substantial contributions to the violin literature by an American composer. That was hardly the case at first. In 1914, before completing his Third Sonata, Ives invited Franz Milcke, whom he described in his Memos of 1931-32 as a "prima donna solo violinist from Germany who has given concerts in Carnegie Hall," to try over the First and Second Sonatas: "The 'Professor' started to play the first movement of the First Sonata. He didn't even get through the first page. He was all bothered with the rhythms and the notes, and got mad. He said "This cannot be played. It is awful. It is not music, it makes no sense." He couldn't get it even after I'd played it over for him several times and said, "When you get awfully indigestible food in your stomach that distresses you, you can get rid of it, but I cannot get those horrible sounds out of my ears." After he went, I had a kind of feeling which I've had off and on. Are my ears on wrong? No one else seems to hear it the same way." Not until decades later, essentially only after World War II, years after Ives had died, was it recognized that Ives's ears were, in fact, on just right, only far ahead of his contemporaries'. --H.

Charles Ives,Symphony No.4
The Symphony No. 4 by Charles Ives was written between 1910 and the mid-1920s (the second movement Comedy was the last to be composed, most likely in 1924). The symphony is notable for its multi-layered complexity—typically requiring two conductors in performance—and for its large and varied orchestration. Combining elements and techniques of Ives's previous compositional work, this has been called "one of his most definitive works". Ives' biographer, Jan Swafford, has called it "Ives's climactic masterpiece.". Detroit Symphony Orchestra and Chorus/Leonard Slatkin.- published: 02 Feb 2014
