Charles Ives (1874-1954)
Symphony No. 4
Microtonality, polyrhythms, and the inclusion of everyday sounds and popular music into a score: so much of what the 20th century produced in the way of musical innovation had already been “invented” by Charles Ives. The evidence for this can be found above all in his Fourth Symphony, which also reveals the metaphysical dimension of this composer’s work. It’s a symphonic search for meaning, from worldly doubt to the assurance of salvation, through music ranging from church chorales to military marches and folk songs. But before this work Peter Eötvös will conduct one of French “spectralist” Tristan Murail’s sonically sensual scores, as well as his own work, the double concerto “Shadows,” in which he divides the orchestra into different groups that are associated with the soloists as “sound shadows”—a fascinating example of spatial composition.
