Review
' ... full of musical insights.' Michael Church, The Independent
'Feder sensitively charts the tragedies and disappointments of Ives's life ...' The Musical Times
'Feder charts the course of Ive's life and work with obvious empathy ... listeners new to Ives will come away with a real sense of the composer drawing on his idealised past to create music of a utopian future.' Gramophone
Book Description
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.
