██ In 1922, the great American composer Charles Ives (1874 -- ██
██ 1954) gathered together many of the songs he had composed ██
██ and had them privately published, together with his ██
██ commentary, as a book, called simply "114 songs". The songs ██
██ were arranged in reverse chronological order, with the more ██
██ recently composed works appearing first in the volume. Among ██
██ his other accomplishments, Ives deserves recognition as an ██
██ American master of the art song. ██
██ ██
██ The songs are short and widely disparate in mood and style. ██
██ Many of the songs, especially those composed by a young ██
██ Ives, show his indebtedness to German romanticism and to the ██
██ songs of Schubert and Schumann. The latter songs show Ives ██
██ at his most modern and iconoclastic. The songs cover a wide ██
██ variety of subjects as well, including childhood and ██
██ nostalgia for lost innocence, religious revivalism, love of ██
██ America, family, romance, and much else. Ives himself wrote ██
██ the lyrics for many of his songs, and he often used texts ██
██ written by his wife, Harmony Twitchell Ives (1874-1979) as ██
██ well. Ives frequently took the themes of his songs from ██
██ longer works and, conversely, transferred material from the ██
██ songs into his more ambitious compositions. As he does ██
██ throughout his music, Ives borrowed liberally in his songs, ██
██ quoting from gospel and revival hymns, from American popular ██
██ music, and from classical composers. ██
██ ██
██ In 2005, the Canadian baritone Gerald Finney and pianist ██
██ Julius Drake recorded an outstanding collection of Ives's ██
██ songs titled, "A Song -- for Anything"; and this 2008 ██
██ recording of 30 additional Ives songs "Romanzo di Central ██
██ Park" is a worthy follow-up. It was difficult for me to give ██
██ this recording only four stars. But the songs are mixed, and ██
██ some of them are of relatively lesser interest. Then too, ██
██ Ives's songs differ from his other, longer works in which, ██
██ at his best, Ives combined traditionalist romantic ██
██ composition with the wildest flights of fancy. Due to their ██
██ small compass, the songs tend to fall on one side of the ██
██ line or the other with little of the juxtaposition of ██
██ different styles that characterize the larger works. ██
██ ██
██ With their varied styles and themes, there are many lovely ██
██ moments in Finley's and Drake's second effort with the Ives ██
██ songs. The highlights of the early songs include "Slow ██
██ March", perhaps Ives's earliest composition, with lyrics ██
██ written by himself, which is about the burial of the ██
██ family's pet cat. Other notable early songs on this CD ██
██ include the sentimental "Songs my Mother Taught Me" and the ██
██ raucous and lively "The Circus Band" also set to Ives's own ██
██ text. ██
██ ██
██ Some of Ives's best songs explore themes of patriotism. This ██
██ CD includes Ives's text and music to "They are There!" a ██
██ song which became famous for the sentiments it expressed on ██
██ the eve of the United States's entry into WWI. The song "In ██
██ Flanders Fields" to a text by John McCrae offers a more ██
██ sobering view of the war experience. Another song with love ██
██ of country as a theme is "My Native Land" set to a text by ██
██ Heine. ██
██ ██
██ The more modernistic experimental songs include ██
██ "Premonitions" with its echoes of musical impressionism, the ██
██ clangorous song "Watchman", the song "Evening" which at its ██
██ end quotes the Le-be-wohl" motif from Beetoven's Les Adieux ██
██ piano sonata, and "The Last Reader", setting a text by the ██
██ American poet Oliver Wendell Holmes. ██
██ ██
██ Other songs on this CD I enjoyed that fall between early and ██
██ late Ives include "In the Alley", with flirty and light ██
██ lyrics by Ives; the charged "Allegro", "At the River" a song ██
██ based on the famous revival hymn, and the title song for the ██
██ collection, "Romanzo di Central Park." ██
██ This latter song, together with "They are There!" feature a ██
██ violin obligato. ██
██ ██
██ The CD includes texts for all the songs and translations as ██
██ well for the efforts Ives made in setting German poems. This ██
██ CD and its companion are excellent ways to explore the songs ██
██ of Charles Ives. ██
