- Summary:
- Charles Ives (1874-1954) was publicly an insurance executive but privately a composer whose eccentric works and paradoxical life would intrigue, perplex, and inspire generations to come after him. Moving from Ives's childhood and years at Yale to his business and musical careers, the memories and reflections assembled in this Kinkeldey Award-winning volume provide a multifaceted and humanizing view of an enigmatic American musical icon. Vivian Perlis is founding director of the Oral History American Music Project at Yale University and coeditor of An Ives Celebration: Papers and Panels of the Charles Ives Centennial Festival-Conference. She is also coproducer of the five-record Charles Ives: The 100th Anniversary, which was nominated for a Grammy award.
