Interweaving photographs, concert programs, scores, and drawings with the texts of more than fifty interviews with family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues, Charles Ives Remembered is a vivid memory portrait of the enigmatic American composer, told in the voices of the people who knew him best.
Charles Ives (1874-1954) was publicly an insurance executive but privately a composer whose eccentric works and paradoxical life would intrigue, perplex, and inspire generations to come after him. Moving from Ives's childhood and years at Yale to his business and musical careers, the memories and reflections assembled in this Kinkeldey Award-winning volume provide a multifaceted and humanizing view of an American musical icon.
Vivian Perlis (1928-2019) was the founder and former director of the Oral History of American Music at Yale University and the writer-producer of documentaries of Eubie Blake, Aaron Copland, and John Cage.
