Charles Ives is widely regarded as the first great American composer of classical music. But listening to his music is an adventure—hearing how a piece begins may not prepare you for what comes next, or how it ends. Knowing one Ives piece may not prepare you for another. Award-winning music historian J. Peter Burkholder provides an introduction to the composer’s diverse musical output and unusual career to readers of any background, discussing about forty of the best and most characteristic pieces framed with biographical sketches. Burkholder shows how Ives mastered each tradition he encountered, from American popular music to classical European genres, from Protestant church music to his own unique experimental idiom, and then interwove elements from all these traditions in the astonishing works of his maturity. Listening to Charles Ives contains compelling walkthroughs of select pieces and ultimately reveals that there is an Ives piece for everyone.

Often called 'the father of American music,' Charles Ives, who died in May 1954, left a heritage of music which will in all probability be as widely known and loved from now on as it was neglected in the past generation. The authors have written a warm, moving story of Ives's life and art. Born in Danbury, Connecticut, in 1874, Charles Ives was long regarded by many as a musical eccentric. Today, he is more and more thought of as a creator as truly and triumphantly American as were Mark Twain and Walt Whitman. As a youth, he was the restless pupil of his father (also a musician), and loved to try new things in musical idiom. Ives was a Connecticut Yankee to his roots, at home with the world of nature, militantly idealistic, relentless in his integrity, diligent in his appointed duties, and proud of resulting achievements. He was a better baseball player than organist when he entered Yale and, afterward, more successful as a businessman than as a composer. He believed that artists could bear their economic burden without endangering their art. Consequently, he applied himself to building one of the great insurance sales agencies of America. His composition was done in the hours he could spare from his vocation. As he prospered, much of his money went to print and publish his music, to hire performances so that he might hear what he wrote, and to make his music available. But, at first, performers and conductors scorned as unplayable music far beyond their talents and imaginations. The burden of vocation and the frustration of avocation brought on an early physical collapse, and Ives spent the last half of his life in retirement and partial invalidism. With financial means to devote himself wholly to composition, he now lacked the strength, and his will to continue composing was damaged by long artistic isolation. The music of Charles Ives is a cultural sourcebook of America at the turn of the century. Ives took the evangelical hymns, the melodies of the dance hall, the military band marches, the sounds of village life, college and fraternity songs, the music of the world of nature, and set them faithfully. He then shaped, interwove, and integrated them so that a fresh musical work might emerge - familiar in substance but of startling drive, perception, and vigor. 'The fierce complexity of reality' was Ives's conception of the nature of things and music.

Central to the repertoire of Western art music since the 1700s, the symphony has come to be regarded as one of the ultimate compositional challenges. In his series The Symphonic Repertoire, the late A. Peter Brown explored the symphony in Europe from its origins into the 20th century. In Volume V, Brown's former students and colleagues continue his vision by turning to the symphony in the Western Hemisphere. It examines the work of numerous symphonists active from the early 1800s to the present day and the unique challenges they faced in contributing to the European symphonic tradition. The research adds to an unmatched compendium of knowledge for the student, teacher, performer, and sophisticated amateur. This much-anticipated fifth volume of The Symphonic Repertoire: The Symphony in the Americas offers a user-friendly, comprehensive history of the symphony genre in the United States and Latin America.

Foundations of Diatonic Theory: A Mathematically Based Approach to Music Fundamentals is an introductory, undergraduate-level textbook that provides an easy entry point into the challenging field of diatonic set theory, a division of music theory that applies the techniques of discrete mathematics to the properties of diatonic scales. After introducing mathematical concepts that relate directly to music theory, the text concentrates on these mathematical relationships, firmly establishing a link between introductory pedagogy and recent scholarship in music theory. It then relates concepts in diatonic set theory directly to the study of music fundamentals through pedagogical exercises and instructions. Ideal for introductory music majors, the book requires only a general knowledge of mathematics, and the exercises are provided with solutions and detailed explanations. With its basic description of musical elements, this textbook is suitable for courses in music fundamentals, music theory for non-music majors, music and mathematics, and other similar courses that allow students to improve their mathematics skills while pursuing the study of music.
