Charles Ives Reconsidered reexamines a number of critical
assumptions about the life and works of this significant American
composer, drawing on many new sources to explore Ives's creative
activities within broader historical, social, cultural, and musical
perspectives. Gayle Sherwood Magee offers the first large-scale
rethinking of Ives's musical development based on the controversial
revised chronology of his music. Using as a guide Ives's own dictum
that "the fabric of existence weaves itself whole," Charles Ives
Reconsidered offers several new paths to understanding all of
Ives's music as the integrated and cohesive work of a controversial
composer who was very much a product of his time and place. Magee
portrays Ives's life, career and posthumous legacy against the
backdrop of his musical and social environments from the Gilded Age
to the present. The book includes contemporary portraits of the
composer, his peers, and his teachers, as seen through archival
materials, published reviews, and both historical and modern
critical assessments.
