Cíle předmětu
The music of Charles Ives (1874-1954) spans the gamut from simple partsongs to extremely complex orchestral works. Ives lived an unconventional musical life, essentially giving up his professional musical pursuits as a young man and building a successful career in the insurance business-all the while still composing and slowly gaining recognition for his innovative and unique works. This course will look at Ives's music by genre through several "entry points" - works that embody particular stylistic and compositional techniques that characterize his music. Along the way, we will examine his life in more detail, as well as some of the interesting (and sometimes controversial) debates and issues that have emerged in recent Ives scholarship and analysis.
