Hello group, I was recently looking through a volume of Ives's songs, and I noticed that many of them are written for medium voice. Are any of his songs...

I see what I consider a rather lame defense of this approach by Richard Whitehouse on the Naxos site: "Although it would be entirely possible to collate Ives's...
