[PAR] [TLE] David Wallis Reeves [SEP] David Wallis Reeves (February 14, 1838 – March 8, 1900), also known as D. W. Reeves or Wally Reeves, was an American composer, cornetist, and bandleader.  He developed the American march style, later made famous by the likes of John Philip Sousa, and his innovations include adding a countermelody to the American march form in 1876.  Sousa called Reeves "The Father of Band Music in America", and stated he wished he himself had written Reeves' "Second Regiment Connecticut National Guard March".  Charles Ives also borrowed from the "Second Connecticut" on four occasions. [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.
