An alphabetical chart to accompany the writer's article “Assessing Classical Music of the 20th Century.” Chooses The Unanswered Question and Three Places in New England. No mention of Ives in the article.

Relates the story of the per-formance of Harvest Home Chorales and Psalm 67 (1948 April), with Shaw's letter to the Collegiate Chorale members about the difficulty of the music and Mrs. Ives's letter to Shaw; lists Ives as a donor to the New Friends of Music, supporters of the Collegiate Chorale (76-78); tells of performing the middle section of Psalm 90: "Teach us to num-ber our days,"on the 1967 tour of the Robert Shaw Chorale, as an en- core in Chicago's Orchestra Hall (163). In Chapter 10, "The Second Battle of Atlanta," there is much discussion of Shaw's choosing to per- form contemporary music and the conflicts that caused with the [Atlan-ta] Symphony [Orchestra] Board of Sponsors. "Of the nearly one hund-red titles on the [orchestra's] combined Romantic and Subscription series, only thirty-four belonged chronologically to the twentieth- century. But fourteen of them, plus two dated before 1900, bore the one name that could itself evoke in timid ears an insufferable din, and in tightly closed minds a most delicious loathing: Charles Ives!"
