zachariaswmb Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Most of the original stuff being done today would make Charles Ives seem almost Baroque in approach. Uhhh...nope? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestro767 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Fugue in C by Ives is a really great ballad-ish piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prodigal bari Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Please explain. Structured, predictible, even melodic. I guess I am one of those of the opinion that the music books have become too choppy and less developed. I am also not a huge fan of Charles Ives, either. His music strikes me as trying to recreate a train wreck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter s Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Ives' father commanded a marching band. I might be mistaken, but I believe I read that he would take band members and seperate them on the field, playing different tunes, and had them play while marching toward each other, just so he could hear what it sounded like. Slamming two completely different pieces together like this could be a hell of a lot of fun on the field, depending on your definition of fun. I'd like to hear "Decoration Day" or "Thanksgiving and Forefather's Day" on the field. The former has a lovely "taps" moment, and the latter has "Chester," sung among monstrous chords. Hooray for Ives! Let's put his work on the field! Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idontwan2know Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Well, we didn't make Finals in '96 but the crowd did like us. One out of two. Sorry if it seemed like I was taking a shot at any of the corps that have used Ives' music. That was definitely not my intention. Was more speculating on what you'd get with a show designed around his more "creative" stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Kevin can probably answer this........ was there a smattering of "Decoration Day" in the '96 Glassmen show? I thought I heard a bit of it. Wasn't Charles Ives an insurance broker or something?
