The Extraordinary Music of Mr. Ives: The True Story of an American Composer

32 pp. | Houghton | October, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-547-23866-1 $16.99
(3) K-3 This partial biography of experimental composer Charles Ives features the sinking of the Lusitania, the sad inspiration for his famous piece "From Hanover Square North." Stanbridge also touches on Ives's inspiration from everyday sounds and the harsh reception his music received at the time. Cartoonlike watercolors, including a wordless ten-page section on the sinking, ably illustrate the text. Reading list. Bib.
Reviewer: Frieda F. Bostian
