(More customer reviews)This is a fabulous resource for anyone in academia. This is the quickest way to identify the borrowed tunes in Ives' music, and is a great, great toy for interested musicologists. I've been using this book for a term paper, but it's definitely one that I will keep on my shelf for the duration of my career. My professor brings it for "show-and-tell" each time he discusses Ives in one of his courses. It is definitely a good choice.

Since the celebration of his centennial in 1974, Charles Ives has becomean iconic figure in the history of music; his name and compositions are widelyrecognized, and his influence has been felt throughout the world. One of the moststriking features of Ives's music is his use of the borrowed melodies that pervadehis scores. Ives drew extensively from a large historical repertoire, some of itlittle known today, including hymns, military and patriotic music, college andpopular songs, instrumental music, and "classical" music models. By cataloging thesesources and including musical examples of their incorporation into Ives's music,Clayton W. Henderson provides important insights into the composer's body ofwork.
