Charles Ives - Naughty That Country Needeth

 
0
Copied!
Naught that country needeth of these aisles of stone;
Where the Godhead dwelleth, temple there is none
All saints that in these courts have stood
Are but babes and feeding on childrens food
On through darkness
On through sign and token
On through stars amidst the night
On to light
On through darkness
On through sign and token
Forward into light!

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.
