- Charles Ives is widely regarded as one of the most influential American composers of the 20th century, but his music is weird especially considering it's now well over 100 years old.

I just realised I didn't make it very clear in the video, but Ives actually studied music at Yale University. Feel free to leave any fun facts about Ives in the comments!
The Most Important Musical Lecture Series ever given at Harvard University, was given my Leonard Bernstein about Charles Ives that went to Yale. When I went to Yale: Nobody ever questioned Me if I needed their Key Card to get into the Music Department, but: Harvard is so Ghetto that They act like Nobody could ever be Allowed into their Buildings. Thee Irony is that Harvard has a Much Worse Music Program than Yale, especially considering the Sacred Music Department at Yale.
Thank you! I vividly remember the first time I heard Robert Browning Overture when I was a young teenager in the 1960s. In 60s language: "It blew my mind! Far out!" I read his autobiography. He paid to have his music engraved, hired a conductor and orchestra and a hall. Thirty minutes after starting rehearsal, the conductor quit saying "This music is unplayable!" In the mid 1950s shortly after Ives' death, Ives' music started getting the recognition it deserved from performances by Stokowski and Bernstein. My music literature teacher said Ives used every musical technique that begins with "poly" and or ends with "ism". Ives often quoted hymn tunes. His favorite was "Columbia, Gem of the Ocean". Thanks for sharing this video.
I think his quartertone pieces are incredible. I can feel my brain rewiring while listening to them.
Ives wrote fascinating songs and choral music, too. His psalm settings are amazing.
Man. I hope you are getting paid for these. *These are great.* Appreciate the time and effort.
Absolutely true. He’s my model on how you combine composition with the mundane reality of earning a living.
Gotta tip your hat to artists who can be brilliant AND have a day-job. Apparently, he stopped gong to concerts because it was difficult to carry a passage in one's head over the course of a work-day if you had someone else's music bopping around in there as well.
One of my favourite Ives quotes (or quips; and forgive me if I recall it less than accurately) was: "Everybody ought to have the opportunity NOT to be over-influenced". He may sound dismal sometimes, but he's enthusiastic and hopeful.
that last line "its fundamental quality is one that tends to put the mind to sleep."... I was not expecting such a roast to "accepted" music. Absolutely hilarious
As an insurance underwriter myself, this is so inspiring!
I've been falling in love with Ives recently, and I'm an ardent hater of late modernist and post-modernist composing, experimental techniques and all. What captivates me about Ives is the raw creativity and passion that is so hard to find in the works of serialism and minimalism, it's clear he has a loud voice attempting to scream out in all of his works. Reminds me somewhat of Langgaard, a shut-in Danish composer who had similarly avant-garde and weird works that went largely unnoticed until after his death, e.g. his Music of the Spheres. That kind of stuff is my absolute favorite, composers just creating in their truest and, oftentimes, weirdest voices.
Fantastic video. Ives has always been an interesting composer to me, and the quote at the end has made me reevaluate how I listen to music
I heard Three Places in New England during high school at a mandatory concert at the music house in Helsinki. It was fascinatingly groovy to my prog-jazz-poisoned brain, even if I generally can't get into the too modernist stuff. Really unique. I didn't realize how early he wrote this music, it's kind of blowing my mind. I thought he'd be mainly a 1920s-1930s era composer.
Love your videos, man! Highly recommend putting up a RUclips Short to help reach a wider audience. You definitely deserve more viewers - great content ☺️
Fascinating, and so inspiring !
Love Charles Ives! Thanks for the video 😀
I can’t believe you don’t even have 1k views on this. For the algorithm ✊
YES. Excellent stuff.
Love Ives! Symphony 2 and 4 are great!
Fascinating and his music is strangely beauty.
Would you consider making a video about Satie? He was active around the same time as Ives and was similarly completely uninterested in contemporary compositional techniques and just did his own thing.
Love this! The collage makes me think that Ives is the first postmodern composer… the first score I ever bought was the score to Ive’s 4th symphony. Just spectacular. Could you do a video on late Scriabin or Berio?
Great content! I'm surprised you didn't end the video with the ending of Symphony 2, lol
I really like this video and your channel. Can you please make a video about Toru Takemitsu? I really like his music, but I only listen to it for the textures and atmosphere. Maybe, you can explain it theoretically more as well as introduce the composer to a wider audience? There is very little about him interms of videos like this on RUclips.
I love comments like this! I'm also a fan of Takemitsu so I'll keep this idea in the back of my mind.
@@ScoreCircuit Awesome! Thank you!
What is Charles Ives’s greatest melody?
ask Gershwin
@@corvanha1 explain
Listen to the Concord Sonata's interluding melodies, all grasped from the American tradition, folk songs, anthems and you will find great melodies all along while Gershwin acted as a connector between black folk songs, spirituals and western classical tradition. Ives melodies are echo's of American life, yearning for eternal youth and strength. The greatest melodie might be the song in your own heart which was never heard before. @@jacksonelmore6227
@@jacksonelmore6227 Gershwin was a fan of Ives.
Nobody like Charlie Ives. By the way, the violin sonatas, the Concord, and the Housatonic at Stockbridge are simultaneously radical/dissonant AND among the most beautiful in the American canon.
Extremely beautiful, as are the symphonies especially and orchestral sets.
