Charles Ives - Two Little Flowers

Copied!
On sunny days in our backyard
Two little flowers are seen
One dressed, at times, in brightest pink
And one in green
The marigold is radiant
The rose passing fair;
The violet is ever dear
The orchid, ever rare;
There's lovliness in wild flow'rs
Of field or wide savannah
But fairest, rarest of them all
Are Edith and Susanna

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.
