Much interest has been shown in Charles Ives since his death on May 19, 1954. Few composers in the history of music have offered the innumerable problems of analysis and performance that are seen in the works of Ives. Although the importance of this major American composer is now widely recognized, the frustrating complexity of his music has succeeded in discouraging large-scale studies of Ives's compositional characteristics on a musicological level. Ives's transcendental beliefs directly influenced his concepts of freedom in creative expression. For this reason, this book will focus on Ives's indebtedness to Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Thoreau, Horatio Parker ad George Ives. This book begins with an investigation of the New England Transcendental tradition. The Transcendentalists were critical, restless, sensitive and highly sophisticated. They were Utopians 1 who seriously reacted to radical social changes, and advocated progressive opinions. Music was very important to them as an expression of their beliefs, and their musical philosophy greatly influenced the development of Ives's musical thought. The Transcendentalists regarded music as a unique form of communication, a universal truth, capable of penetrating all the barriers of time and space. Furthermore, they viewed music as a means of communicating with one's own thoughts. Ives's philosophical beliefs about musical composition will be discussed with reference to Ives's own writings on aesthetics and music, as well as selected works by Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau and others. In addition, Ives's aesthetic concepts are reflected in the structural organization of the above-mentioned piano compositions. It is not possible within the limited scope of this manuscript to present a detailed account of Ives's life. However, there are some biographical considerations and philosophical beliefs that are valuable to this study insofar as they affected Ives's thoughts about music and composition. In particular, the New England Transcendentalists exerted a direct influence upon his concepts of creative freedom and stylistic development. Most books and periodicals have considered the influences of the New England Transcendentalists upon Ives. However, the sum of his philosophical and musical thoughts exist in his own Memos, Essay Before a Sonata, and handwritten notes made in his manuscripts. An American Composer-Charles E. Ives: New England Transcendentalism 3 Gordon Cyr's article, "Intervallic Structural Elements in Ives's Fourth Symphony,"4 presents the Fourth Symphony from an intervallic relationship. The author examines Ives's use of borrowed tunes and the alteration of the basic cell by way of inversion, retrograde, and stretto. Clayton Henderson's dissertation, "Quotation as a Style Element in the Music of Charles Ives,"5 considers the structural role of borrowed elements as a more significant key for understanding Ives's music. Ives adopted much of his material with discernment, using it for its programmatic qualities and as a unifying element from which traditional forms, such as rondo, verse and refrain, ternary structure, and arch designs were evolved most frequently. At present, there are no reliable stylistic analyses and philosophical investigations of Invention, March in G and D "Here's to Good Old Yale," Three-Page Sonata, Song Without (Good) Words, The Anti-Abolitionist Riots, Some Southpaw Pitching, Varied Air and Variations, Waltz Rondo, Study No. 22, The Celestial Railroad. Therefore, it is necessary to emphasize the salient factors which contribute to Ives's compositional characteristics. 4 Gordon Cyr, "Intervallic Structural Elements in Ives's Fourth Symphony," Perspectives of New Music 10 (Fall/Winter 1971): 291-303. 5 Clayton Henderson, "Quotation as a Style Element in the Music of Charles Ives." (Ph.D. Dissertation, Washington University, 1969).
