"It seems to me that to organize on the basis of feeding people or righting social injustice and all that is very valuable. But to rally people around the idea of modernism, modernity, or something is simply silly. I mean, I don't know what kind of a cause that is, to be up to date. I think it ultimately leads to fashion and snobbery and I'm against it." Jack Levine: January 3, 1915 – November 8, 2010 LEVEL BILLIONAIRES OUT OF EXISTENCE

Charles Ives - Symphony n.4 - I. Prelude: Maestoso
I don't usually post parts of pieces but I've recently been asked to write a setting of Lowell Mason's "Morning Star" for the funeral of a wonderful old lady. Charles Ives' use of it went through my head the entire time but my setting is far more conventional. Well, with one unresolved dissonance or so.
