Bibliography

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!" (223).

Quotes from Rosenfeld's review of the Concord Sonata. Adds that “Rosenfeld's great enthusiasm for the music of Charles Ives was partly attributed to Ives’ interest in American subject matter and his use of native themes.”
