....forgot to mention that, of course, Ives' attribution in the 114 song
collection of "Watchman" to the 2nd v.sonata was his mistake, and this is
corrected in later publications of the song ("23 Songs" I think) - Tony

Interesting........The score of the song "Watchman" as printed in the "114
Songs" as number 44 & given the date 1913 by Ives states "from 2nd Violin
Sonata". Perhaps this is a similar situation as so often in Charley's music with
its borrowings and cross-references where the score merely indicates these
without any intention on his part for an actual extra performer (same then as
the mention of viola in the Thoreau movement of the Concord. Tony

Did anybody ever hear a recording and/or performance with a sung part of Lowell
Mason's The Watchman in this movement? The score alludes to this, but I have
never heard it before.

Thanks.
