OH baby - this is the one I've been waiting for, well, it seems forever......!

Relase date is Oct. 27 according to Amazon.

The three remaining Holiday movements on this one seem to be edited by Sinclair,
Shirley, and Elkus. Are these newly edited Ives Society editions?

I'm preordering this sucker for sure. I've been hitting Hamelin's Concord (II)
the past few ngihts as well. Glorious.

Hello Ives scholars

I have a dim memory of reading a description of a moment in an Ives symphonic
score where one of the instrumental parts switches to 128th notes, with a simple
instruction to the musician to 'just play as many of these as you can'.  For
years I've been hoping to come across this anecdote again, or locate the precise
score which deploys this effect.

Can anyone remember if this accurately describes an Ives piece?  Or are my wires
crossed?  I'm working on a lecture series about the development of appropriative
collage in music, and while this 'trick' of Ives is more of a foreshadowing of
ways to 'score' indeterminate results than one of musical collage, I still like
to mention it to friends.  But if I'm going to start mentioning it behind a
podium, I'll need footnotes, and I would love to hunt down the score itself.

Thanks in advance, fellow fanatics

-jl

ps - if anyone is interested, a podcast overview of the music I'm discussing is
freely available here -- episode 1 kicks off with bits of Ives' Holidays & the
4th:  http://rwm.macba.cat/en/curatorial/

Last night, my local public TV station aired a 1-hr documentary entitled 'Note
By Note: The Making of Steinway L1037.'  Part of it involves Pierre-Laurent
Aimard showing up to the Steinway factory looking for a piano that can meet the
needs of the music he'll soon perform at Carnegie Hall.  He's looking for a
'monster.'  You then learn that the demanding music to which Aimard is referring
is the Concord Sonata because they proceed to show him testing-out a few pianos,
then finally performing Concord at Carnegie Hall.  The documentary didn't go too
deep into piano construction but that little side story made it well worth
watching.

Thought some of you would find this Italian video interesting.  best,

Hi Tony.
Many thanks indeed for the reply. I'm looking through the You Tube posts now. I
was thinking more of DVD quality performances when I posted the earlier message
but there's certainly more items of interest on YT than I'd have expected so
thanks for the tip.
I've also ordered the Bernstein DVD of Ives' 2nd Symphony from Amazon and will
try not to get overly impatient while I await its delivery!
There's a DVD of Keith Kirchoff performing with the Ives Festival Orchestra that
I've ordered too, at keithkirchoff.com, so there's another thing I look forward
to arriving on my doormat.
Thanks again,
Malcolm

I saw this on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002F3BQ6M/ref=dm_dp_cdp?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=12\
51016190&sr=8-3

The CD pairs five premiere recordings of pieces written in honor of Charles Ives
with works of Ives himself, including a world-premiere recording of Ives's
"London Bridge is Fallen Down".

Below is an excerpt from the liner notes:

Responses to Ives, by Heather O'Donnell

The project "Responses to Ives" was conceived in 2003 as a way to acknowledge
the 50th anniversary of Charles Ives's death (May 19, 2004)

The project had humble origins. I approached a handful of composers known to
have strong affinities for Ives and asked them to write a "musical reflection"
on the presence of Charles Ives in their lives and work. Impressed by the
enthusiastic responses from these composers and encouraged by the powerful sense
of identification they felt with Ives (musically and personally), I invited more
composers to participate- the project grew to proportions more worthy of the
composer of grand projects like the Universe Symphony or The Celestial Country,
and finally premiered at the MaerzMusik Festival in Berlin in 2004 in the midst
of a twelve hour extravaganza of Ives and Ives-inspired music. In the months
following repeat performances took place in South Africa, China, the Czech
Republic, Germany, and the US.

The issuing of the CD in the summer of 2009 presents an opportunity to speculate
on the lingering presence of Charles Ives in contemporary life and culture. Ives
would certainly have experienced fascination and dismay, hope and concern by our
times. Perhaps the son of an old Yankee abolitionist family would have been
deeply moved by the election of our first African-American president. He would
have certainly had much to say about contemporary issues such as the endangering
of our natural environment, globalism, the erosion of basic constitutional
principles, a non-regulated free market, military ostentatiousness and
preemptive doctrines, as well as irresponsibility and rampant greed in business
culture. He may have been fascinated by the Information Age with its
democratizing implications and educational potentials, and would have certainly
had at least one remedy for his involuntary artistic isolation in having a
MySpace page.

The task of trying to sum up a soul as magnificently and maddeningly varied,
conflicted, and all-encompassing as Charles Ives can be daunting and often leads
to painfully shallow and incomplete caricatures of the man and his outward
eccentricities. Enough attention has been allocated to the image of a Yankee
crank with a spiteful tongue and explosive temperament, this writer prefers to
focus more on the mystical pragmatist in Ives, the enormously successful
insurance executive who cared to spend his free hours in the deepest searchings
and strivings for a universal musical language that could serve as an awakening
agent for humanity on the cusp of realizing its transcendental potential.

Charles Ives, a man who embodied the Emersonian call to self-reliance, found his
voice in personal and artistic seclusion, maintained his enthusiasm for music by
never subjecting it to earning his keep. Instead of scraping together a meagre
subsistence as a music teacher, free-lance composer, or full-time church
organist, Ives made a comfortable living in life insurance. This allowed him to
devote himself to composition on weekends or holidays, free to pursue his
musical imagination without needing to worry about existential issues or public
taste. A deeply spiritual person capable of discerning divine elements in humble
forms, Ives was divided between a spirit of generosity in supporting and
encouraging fellow composers and a penchant for acidic and irascible
denunciations of composers who he felt threatened by. He was a beautifully and
brazenly flawed man who had little concern for reaching the sterile perfection
of classical form, but instead strove with great zeal and untiring investment
towards the dizzyingly ambitious aim of reflecting through music a totality of
human experience, divine and profane.. Ives lived Transcendentalist ideals of
spiritual awareness , intellectual independence and idealism. His political
orientations were progressive, optimistic about human nature and the innate
goodness of the majority, he was an active and exemplary citizen, sacrificing
his time and health for aiding the war effort in 1918. At the same time, he
maintained a watchful and critical eye on the Wilson administration. His music
was also progressive, ever-expanding the tonal system within an aesthetic
universe in which dissonance was an indication of strength and honesty,
reflecting the motley multifariousness of life's experiences. He effortlessly
combined wildly divergent musical expressions into a unified whole, eradicating
hierarchical notions of "high" as opposed to "common" music. He elevated the
local to the universal, and brought universal themes back to his Yankee
homestead. He began an experimentalist tradition which continues on to today by
playfully challenging musical dogma in the areas of tonality, rhythm and form.
He adhered to a strong and reliable inner compass of decency and virtue, and
lived and worked uncompromisingly towards his ideals.

This disc is intended to be a celebration of Charles Ives, through his own works
as well as reflected in the work of contemporary composers who admire and love
him.

& apologies if this is old news for any of you.........& I'm so excited that I'm
sending this before having looked at & heard a DVD which dropped on to my
doormat today - Lenny conducting Bavarian RSO in Symphony No. 2 in 1987 (plus
TUQ with NPO) and also some Gershwin.........and also: 15 min. interview of LB
on S.No.2.  Details: DGG recordings issued by Unitel Classica - DVD number 00440
073 4513.  Can't see how I'm going to be disappointed with this (as I was never
able to see Lenny conduct Ives live - just a fabulous performance of Mahler 7
with LSO at the Royal Festival Hall, London in the '70s); but will report when I
have seen it.  Tony

Happy new year to all of you and all of Charles Ives's fans

I have received the new Society Newsletter from James Sinclair With
several exciting information.
Patrick

-------------

An Ives Newsletter ' 1 January 2009

Happy New Year!!

New: A Charles Ives Omnibus

Selected, compiled, and annotated by James Mack Burk. Monographs &
Bibliographies in American Music, no. 18 (Hillsdale, NY: Pendragon
Press, 2008).

In just over 1000 pages, this tome covers Ives bibliography (254 pp.)
and discography (200 pp.; both sections done by year of publication),
and Ives's compositions (in a putative chronological order; 352 pp.;
citing a number of important performances and their reviews), plus a
substantial section titled "Et Alia" that has 25 subsections covering
some unusual ground, including "Awards Named in Honor of Ives," "Films
with Ives's Music in the Soundtrack," "Ives Cited in Fiction," "Music
Dedicated to Ives," Ives in ballet, Ives in sculptures, etc.'a unique
collection of information. With so much information in chronological
order, it takes a substantial index to get to info on a particular
work or subject: 130 pp. of that seem to do it. (ISBN-13:
978-1-57647-119-7) [amazon.com has the book currently priced at $32]



Three Places at Presser

Orchestral Set No. 1: Three Places in New England has just been
published (456-40008 - $40.00) by Theodore Presser Co. in a new
engraving of the oft-performed and recorded full orchestra version
edited by James Sinclair. The new publication is of "Version 4",
Sinclair's fusion of Ives's 1929 musical text (done for Slonimsky's
small orchestra) and Ives's full orchestration of his original
version, ca. 1914-16. This is a performance version based on
Sinclair's critical edition of the 1929 state. Master engraver Thomas
Brodhead has produced the new score and created a remarkably clear and
helpful set of parts. A new set of engraved materials for the 1929
small orchestra version will be available shortly.



Ives Vocal Marathon

In four days of performances, four singers and one pianist (Neely
Bruce) will present the complete songs (185) and song fragments(!) of
Charles Ives. This multi-day event will take place at Wesleyan

I am very curious to read your review Tony. IMO i rank the Muraro's
performance among the spontaneous lectures of the Concord, like Jay
Gottlieb, Phillip Mead and steven Mayer. I like this style of playing,
almost improvised.

Many thanks for this information, Patrick - it is fascinating to listen to and a
good source of these important early recordings for those who don't have the
CD-Rom ("Star of David") or, of course, the original NMQR discs!  Thanks also to
you, and to Kirk, for the info regarding Roger Muraro's new recording of Concord
- isn't it interesting that this great work dominates his 2-CD "Regards sur le

   Subject: [charlesives] Interview of Mordecai Bauman in streaming


   Hello

   On Internet Archives i have found an very interresting document . An
   interview of the Tenor Mordecai Bauman talking about Charles Ives with
   the famous six songs performed by M. Bauman diffused in the same program
   Interview conducted by Charles Amirkhanian on KPFA's Morning Concert,
   September 15, 1980. This audio archive is in streaming format and the
   sound quality of the songs is good. Maybe it's the source of the CD
   "Star of David" pointed by Tony ?
