Another excellent 250 to 250! As usual, this post inspires me to explore more about the subject. Thank you for opening my eyes AND ears to Charles Ives!
I am learning so much from "250 to 250"! And I'm a professor :). I had heard of Charles Ives, but didn't know what his contribution to American music was. Wonderful series. I look forward to it every day.
