  5. RIP Roberta Alexander

    First thing that comes to my mind is her interpretation of songs of Charles Ives. Touching and beautiful.

    This is by no means a new situation. #SunRa said exactly this fifty years ago. #CharlesIves sold insurance. The very first #musicians added at St Martins in the Field in 1420 each got only half a stipend!

    They have us over a barrel. They know we cannot stop, and we crave audience. I asked a local music store clerk if sometimes they felt like crack dealers. I just got a nervous laugh. 😅

    I learned from #MarshallAllen how music can have far better reasons to be than for money. YMMV.

  8. Nice piece from #JeremyDenk on Charles Ives, in honor of 150th birth anniversary. Good use of clips from the third and first violin sonatas to illustrate key points, making this something closer to a sound essay (?).

    Happy Birthday #CharlesIves!

  10. Tonight: classin' shit up, I'm at Lincoln Center!! Just saw Bill Frisell play with a symphony at Alice Tully Hall. Everything I could've wanted, blew my mind. Intermission now. Next is Charles Ives Symphony No 4. @smoothatonalsound tells me it's pretty good.

  12. welkom Jan @jk60 op mijn #TL met een stuk uit 2016

    The Unanswered Question 
The American Originals 
Charles Ives
    het bekende muziekstuk #TheUnansweredQuestion gecomponeerd door #CharlesIves in 1908 – behorend tot de groep kunstenaars die ook wel de The American #Originals wordt genoemd heeft een bijzondere geschiedenis – die vertel ik je verderop
    nog steeds te beluisteren op ferrie.audio/b/1RT

  13. @REEL agreed - such an enjoyable record to listen to. #JosephByrd was the #CharlesIves of the Acid Generation.

  14. Am currently pondering the wonderful fact that both #CharlesIves and #WallaceStevens were insurance execs for their "day jobs" -- at roughly the same time, too.

    Ives, however, retired earlier in his life (1930, according to Wikipedia), while Stevens stayed on until nearly his death.

    So much of Ives's critical work was composed in the pre-war years that seem pretty critical to Stevens development, too -- the mid-1910s.

  16. Did John William's Star Wars score steal from Charles Ives' Symphony No. 1 ? Yes, he did. Yes he did! 🤡

  17. And here's an example of what you might hear there. Circus Band by Charles Ives was inspired by multiple marching bands passing by in a parade and overlapping a bit. Choral Union is on stage, University Singers in the aisles, and The RiverTones in the balcony, all singing different tunes.
