Oral History of American Music: Charles Ives

The Oral History of American Music (OHAM) project at Yale offers a netcast on Charles Ives. The 20-minute netcast features historic interviews with Ives’s family members, friends, and colleagues – including Henry Cowell, John Kirkpatrick, Lou Harrison, Nicolas Slonimsky, Elliott Carter, and even Ives’s barber. A highlight is a rare clip of Ives himself at the piano, raucously singing “They Are There!”
