- Summary:
- "How many songs did Charles Ives (1874-1954) write? For years the songs of this iconoclastic American composer have only been known in imperfect editions ... The MUSA collection of 129 Songs is a critical edition of the 114 Songs, thirteen songs first published later, and two unpublished "songs without words"--in other words, all of Ives's solo songs except the fifty-four already published in critical editions by the late John Kirkpatrick (Eleven Songs and Two Harmonizations [1968], Sunrise [1977], and Forty Earlier Songs [1993]). The MUSA edition is based upon a comparative study of Ives's manuscript sketches and fair copies; his many copyists' scores; songs he revised for the New Music imprints; annotations by him in personal copies of those imprints and of 114 Songs; and manuscript and published text sources (by Ives, his wife Harmony Twichell Ives, and many other authors)." -- Provided by publisher.
