Surely a great composer, no doubt.
Which is the grand-father of this? But "Warum?" of Robert Schumann. The lines of the melody are very very similar in these two pieces.

You also have Elliot Carter. Cage didn't really accept Ives until later in his career. Roy Harris would be a more likely candidate with his alleatoric melodies which were a direct extension of Ives later works.

What happened to the sound on this? I have my speakers turned all the way up, as well as the volume control on the video, and I can still hardly hear this. (The other vids I've been watching are fine, so it's not my system)

I guess I just don't get it, but playing cello for this song was hell on my arms.

It isn't a song and you can't judge music just because you don't like the way it's played.

I think there is no question but that Ives is America's greatest composer. I'll go one further and say that the case can be made that he was the greatest composer of the 20th century.

You aren't getting ... ( 2 months ago by 101Bottles)

You aren't getting the importance of this piece. It's written the same year Mahler wrote his 9th, and Schoenberg wrote his first atonal piece. Ives had no idea all this was going on, yet he composes the perfect musical depiction of the tonal/atonal struggles that composers were going through. There's three layers, the strings (tonal), the trumpet (the question) and the winds (the atonal "answers"). There's a reason the trumpet "asks" one last time and there's no answer. Sorry about your arm.

If you say you hate this song, you are DEFINITELY not educated well in music! This song, with the theory behind it, is by far one of the most influential pieces to ever be played. The messege it conveys, as well as the sound that comes forth, is actually one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard in my life! I arranged this for trumpet, flute quartet, and organ, and performed it at my senior trumpet recital! Everyone LOVED it!!

this is what my teacher said from my music class:
1 the trumpet asks the questionm
2 the flutes respond but don't really answer
3. the strings are like wallflowers
it has to do with his fathers death and how they use to play trumpets at the pond together

My high school's chamber orchestra along with a trumpet, oboe, clarinet and another flute and I are playing this piece at the State Conference this year.
I'm incredibly excited. :] Absolutely beautiful.

One of the greatest pieces of music ever written. That I've heard at least. It's just so... powerfully delicate... however paradoxical that is. I adore this piece.

When I saw it ... ( 1 week ago by Hamgammy)

When I saw it performed by The Markham Symphony Orchestra, the Trumpet was in the balcony behind the audience, the flutes were on the stage, and the strings were behind the curtain, invisible to the audience, but still audible. Apparently, this was the way Ives had intended it to be performed. It truly was altogether a different but powerful experience, to not only hear this piece of music, but to witness it performed in such a manner!
