Charles Ives - Dreams

 
0
Copied!
When twilight comes with shadows drear
I dream of thee, of thee dear one;
And grows my soul so dark and sad as shadows drear
They tell me not to grieve love, for thou wilt come
But oh! I can not tell why I fear their words are false:
I dream of theee, I dream of thee, love!
And thou art near till I awake

When I look back, when I look back on happier days
My eyes are filled with tears;
I see thee then in visions plain, so true, so full of love
But now I fear to ask them if thou art 'live;
They tell me not to grievе love!
For thou wilt come at last:
I dream of thee, I drеam of thee, love!
And thou art near till I awake

Biography

Arguably the first modernist composer, Charles Ives (1874-1954) was a solitary figure who composed in obscurity for most of his life. The son of a U.S. Army bandleader, Ives enjoyed a wildly successful career as an insurance executive. In his spare time, he composed music in a wide variety of genres that combined popular song, church hymns, military marches, and European art music in ways that used tone clusters, polytonality, and other techniques decades before they were adopted by European composers.
