Songs by Henry Cowell and Charles Ives

[reveal heading=”%image% Program Details”] Discussions, Arguments, and a View from the Mountain. That, in a nutshell, is how Charles Ives described his Second String Quartet. It might well describe this unruly flock of composers, who flew in scattered formation around Ives, taking bearings from – and on occasion issue with – him and each other, each on wing toward an independent summit.[/reveal] Some of Cowell’s works are unpublished and are performed by permission of The David and Sylvia Teitelbaum Fund, Inc., as successors to Henry and Sidney Cowell.
