“...No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American People. I do the
refore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens...” -—Abraham Lincoln, 1863 Thanksgiving Proclamation
Happy Thanksgiving to All who take its meaning, and especially to All of our Armed Forces yet afield.

Ives eperimented a lot with dissonance and atonality, which he regarded as masculine. Beautiful melodies were something he relegated to the feminine. He always referred to Sergei Rachmaninov as Rach-not-man-enough.
During the Thirties, Ives liked going to concerts conducted by Nicholas Slonimsky that featured "modern" classical music, full of dissonance. (I met Slonimsky in 1988, accompanied by his stunning 18 year old red-headed great-granddaughter, at a Los Angeles Philharmonic concert conducted by Pierre Boulez and dedicated to the moderns.) During the intermission of this Slonimsky concert in New York, a man sitting behind Ives complained to his wife that he didn't like this music because it didn't have any melodies he could hum-m-m-m-m-m. Charlie turned to the man behind him and hissed, "You goddam sissy!"
I think Ayn Rand used Ives as a model for composer Richard Halley in Atlas Shruged.
