Composer:
Charles Ives

Artist(s):
Blair String Qt

Background: Charles Ives's two string quartets are as unalike in origin as they are in content. The First Quartet uses his beloved revival and gospel hymns as musical sources, and its energy and originality provide an early example of Ives's highly original creative powers.

The highly complex Second String Quartet was born of a typical Ives rage against what he perceived as the effeminacy of standard string quartet performances. Ives himself summarised the work's programme as: 'four men – who converse, discuss, argue ... fight, shake hands, shut up – then walk up the mountainside to view the firmament'.
