"The life of Charles Ives spanned two centuries, as he grew up in the nineteenth and
composed chiefly in the twentieth. His nostalgia for a simpler life in the New England
country town of his youth is revealed in his frequent musical quotation of songs of
that earlier time: parlor and patriot songs, hymns and gospel music. He had learned
these songs early in his life through his father, a village bandmaster, who remained
the most important influence in his life and music. Ives absorbed these influences
within an innovative and modern musical style of composition. Stuart Feder's account
of Ives's life clarifies the complexities of the man and his music, while his straightforward
discussion of this uniquely autobiographical music in turn illuminates the narrative."--Jacket
