With this innovative analysis of the music of Charles Ives, Philip
Lambert fills a significant gap in the literature on one of
America's most important composers. Lambert offers the first
large-scale theoretical study of Ives's repertoire, encompassing
major works in all genres. He argues that systematic techniques
governed Ives's compositional language and thinking about music,
even in his unconventional and apparently unstructured pieces. He
portrays Ives as a composer of great diversity and complexity who
nevertheless held to a single artistic vision. Using modes of
analysis for post-tonal music and approaches devised specifically
for the study of Ives as well, the author explains the origin,
evolution, and culmination of Ives's systematic methods. He
discusses important aspects of the composer's early training, the
relation between Ives's experimental and his concert music, Ives's
fugal and canonic techniques as the basis for his systematic music,
his paradigms of procedure and transformation, and pitch relations
in Ives's music, particularly the unfinished Universe Symphony.
Lambert refutes the popular image of Ives as a highly eccentric
composer haphazardly casting about for arbitrarily regulated ways
of generating musical material and instead portrays him as a keenly
determined and resourceful artist who gradually discovered ever
more powerful tools for creating remarkably original music.
