The Things Our Fathers Loved

Please note: Course green sheets and other materials may not be updated fully until the first class meeting. Web site registration for students enrolled in these classes will be activated at that time. Please note: The course number for these sections of Introduction to Music was recently changed from Music 1 to Music 1A. As I work to update the online course materials the old course number may continue to appear in some places even though the information does refer to Music 1A.

Charles Ives

1917 (subtitled "and the greatest of these was liberty.")

I think there must be a place in the soul
all made of tunes, of tunes of long ago;
I hear the organ on the Main Street corner,
Aunt Sarah humming Gospels; Summer evenings,
The village cornet band, playing in the square.
The town's Red, White and Blue,
all Red, White and Blue; Now! Hear the words
But they sing in my soul of the things our Fathers loved.
