[PAR] [TLE] Charles Ives [SEP] Charles Edward Ives ( ; October 20, 1874May 19, 1954) was an American modernist composer.  He is one of the first American composers of international renown, though his music was largely ignored during his life, and many of his works went unperformed for many years.  Over time, he came to be regarded as an "American original".  He combined the American popular and church-music traditions of his youth with European art music, and was among the first composers to engage in a systematic program of experimental music, with musical techniques including polytonality, polyrhythm, tone clusters, aleatory elements, and quarter tones, foreshadowing many musical innovations of the 20th century.

The premiere took place April 30, 1988, at the New York State Theater, Lincoln Center, as part of New York City Ballet's American Music Festival with lighting by the Feld Ballet's Allen Lee Hughes and Willa Kim's costumes.
