Charles Ives (1874-1954) was probably one of the most psycho -
intellectually brilliant, imaginative and flexible Americans to
ever "walk the land of free-dom." A graduate of Yale, he became a
multi-millio-naire in the American insurance industry, introducing
brilliant innovations within that industry. He also, unlike a few
composers, found the time and the money (being a shrewd and
practical businessman) to get married and have children. His
accomplishments for which he is best known, however, are those in
the field of music. At the time of its composition, Ives' music was
probably the most radically modern in history, and by itself had
enough material to serve as the foundation of modern 20th century
music. For example, at the turn of the century, this eccentric
composer created band works featuring multiple melodies of multiple
time signatures opposing and complimenting each other within the
same piece. Ives was also a revolutionary atonal composer, who
created, essentially without precedent, many atonal works that not
only pre-date those of Schoenberg, but are just as sophisticated,
and arguably even more so, than those of the 12-tone serialist.
