This book and the two CDs that accompany it present an exceptional collection of interviews with and about the most significant musical figures of the era. Tapping the unparalleled materials contained in the Oral History American Music archive at Yale University, Composers' Voices from Ives to Ellingtonis a unique account of what it was like for musicians and composers to live and work in those years. It is also the story of the making of the archive, as told by Vivian Perlis, who personally conducted many of the interviews. Music aficionados can now hear Eubie Blake describe the birth of ragtime or listen to a firsthand account of how Ira Gershwin came to write those famous lines in "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off." In-depth interviews with such figures as Henry Cowell, Virgil Thomson, Aaron Copland, and Duke Ellington are included in the book, which also features chapter introductions and fascinating sidebars, illustrations, and anecdotes throughout. Two CDs complete the set, enabling today's listener to enjoy the remarkablen experience of hearing the actual voices and the music of American composers of the early twentieth century. 588 0 Print version record. 648 7 1900 - 1999|2fast 650 0 Composers|zUnited States|y20th century|vInterviews. 650 0 Jazz musicians|zUnited States|y20th century|vInterviews. 650 0 Composers|zUnited States. 650 0 Jazz musicians. 650 0 Musicians|zUnited States. 650 7 MUSIC|xHistory & Criticism.|2bisacsh 650 7 MUSIC|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 650 7 Composers.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00871620 650 7 Jazz musicians.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00982205 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 Interviews.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423832 700 1 Van Cleve, Libby. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aPerlis, Vivian.|tComposers voices from Ives to Ellington.|dNew Haven : Yale University Press, ©2005|z0300106734|z9780300106732|w(DLC) 2005000361 |w(OCoLC)57391257 830 0 Oral history of American music. 914 ocn182620709 994 93|bGTK
