April 1 - April 7 Listening/Composer Assignment (remember that listening assignments apply to the weeks during which the listening is assigned.)

Charles Ives

Composer (If this link doesn't take you to the right composer, click on "by composer" on the page and find the composer of the week there): http://www.dsokids.com/listen/by-composer/charles-ives.aspx

Listening: Listen to the example on the composer page and the "Alcott" movement of his "Concord" Piano Sonata here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8aSTvtKDGM

Question: How would you describe Ives' music? Is it tonal (one key), does he mix ideas, how are the ideas connected--or are they?

    The one one dso sounded like a carnival. It didn't seem connected, everyone was doing their own thing, like at a carnival. Josie

    He has an interesting style. That is really different from the rest... He does his own thing. That's COOL!!
