Charles Ives (1874–1954), a lifelong optimist, was shocked and deeply hurt by the German invasion of Belgium which started in August 1914; when Antwerp surrender-ed in October, Ives dashed a musical tirade he called “Sneak Thief,” referring to the German leader Kaiser Willhelm. Ives continued venting in letters and the marginalia of his musical manuscripts. Sneak Thief presents as a private scream. In 1917 Ives took a more practical approach, composing a patriotic song “He Is There!” which has a fully public intention. |

The Year's at the Spring, S. 202 duration circa 1 minute
|
SATB |
Charles Ives (1874–1954) composed at least a dozen partsongs, mostly while he was a student at Yale College (1894–98). His The Year’s at the Spring (1889 or 1892) appears to be the earliest surviving in the genre, but for SATB, not for the more common TTBB. The text is from “Pippa Passes,” no. 1 of Bells and Pomegranates (1836) by Robert Browning. |
