Overture in G Minor

Ives, Charles
parts on rental

This essentially student work of Charles Ives (1874–1954) was composed around 1896–97 while Ives was a junior at Yale College, possibly as an exercise in orchestration. Stylistically it draws on the French overture tradition which Ives cited as “alla Zampa” (referring to Louis-Ferdinand Hérold’s Zampa Overture).
