A concert for choir and organ celebrating the sesquicentennial year of American avant-garde composer Charles Ives. His earliest works are among his least-heard; written for the organ, an instrument he abandoned at age 27. In 1890, Ives accompanied his father George and other local musicians in concerts in neighbouring towns, where he gave the first public performances of his own compositions. As a 14 year old, Ives employed tactics that European modernists would not until decades later — he reportedly shocked the audiences with a melody played in three keys simultaneously, as well as choral writing that jumped more than an octave every two notes. As he noted later, one of his organ variations “was not to be played in church, as it made the boys laugh and become noisy!”
Featuring the modern premiere of reconstructed and undiscovered music by the renowned composer.
