Title: Baseball and the Music of Charles Ives
Description: "To fully understand Ives's life as an artist, the art of baseball must be included as a part of the examination, and baseball must be viewed as a serious component of his life. Through discussion of Ives's musical compositions and solid research on the composer's lifelong love of the American pastime, Ives's pioneering spirit and creativity are seen in Baseball and the Music of Charles Ives: A Proving Ground." "Fresh observations are further elucidated by musical examples and photographs of pertinent ball players and venues. Music professionals, baseball historians, and baseball scholars will find this resource fascinating and useful."--BOOK JACKET.
