World premiere recordings of music by Charles Ives in 2023 are certain to draw considerable attention from those who have an affinity for music from the early-20th century composers. Beyond those looking to complete a collection of Ives' recorded works, this collection of mostly miniatures will likely pique the interest of instrumental ensembles seeking to expand their repertoire. There is a lot of humor in this music, for instance in "Calcium Light Night" from Set No. 1. The wind instruments represent different fraternities parading Yale's campus, singing their society songs as they pass each other in an attempt to drown the other out. A major benefit to this collection is the diversity of Ives' compositional range. There are sensitive, emotional tunes contrasted directly by marching and aggressive rhythms, and Naxos provides texts that the composer used as a basis for these purely instrumental works. The concluding Set for Theatre Orchestra was inspired by the makeshift and often extraordinarily flexible musicians that make up local or community theater orchestras. While this is the only set for "Theatre Orchestra," all of these works fall within the same proportions and variety in instrumentation. Ives wrote many of these with the idea of other instruments being substituted or added, often noting which instrument would be a good substitute. The first three sets and the Set for Theatre Orchestra were fully assembled and published, and credit to John Sinclair, Kenneth Singleton, and David Porter for the realizations provided here of the remaining sets, which were planned for assembly but never made it beyond that stage. This recording is likely to find an audience of more than just collectors, and one can imagine many college faculty recitals making use of the eccentric scoring to collaborate across departments.

Album review

World premiere recordings of music by Charles Ives in 2023 are certain to draw considerable attention from those who have an affinity for music from the early-20th century composers. Beyond those looking to complete a collection of Ives' recorded works, this collection of mostly miniatures will likely pique the interest of instrumental ensembles seeking to expand their repertoire. There is a lot of humor in this music, for instance in "Calcium Light Night" from Set No. 1. The wind instruments represent different fraternities parading Yale's campus, singing their society songs as they pass each other in an attempt to drown the other out. A major benefit to this collection is the diversity of Ives' compositional range. There are sensitive, emotional tunes contrasted directly by marching and aggressive rhythms, and Naxos provides texts that the composer used as a basis for these purely instrumental works. The concluding Set for Theatre Orchestra was inspired by the makeshift and often extraordinarily flexible musicians that make up local or community theater orchestras. While this is the only set for "Theatre Orchestra," all of these works fall within the same proportions and variety in instrumentation. Ives wrote many of these with the idea of other instruments being substituted or added, often noting which instrument would be a good substitute. The first three sets and the Set for Theatre Orchestra were fully assembled and published, and credit to John Sinclair, Kenneth Singleton, and David Porter for the realizations provided here of the remaining sets, which were planned for assembly but never made it beyond that stage. This recording is likely to find an audience of more than just collectors, and one can imagine many college faculty recitals making use of the eccentric scoring to collaborate across departments.
