3/5. Ives's brand of patriotism verged on the jingoistic, but his music tells a more nuanced story, as in the deeply moving From Hanover Square North, at the End of a Tragic Day, the Voice of the People Again Arose - the composer's evocation of a moment of spontaneous popular grief at the news of the sinking of the liner Lusitania. Also in today's programme,
Ives's magnificent symphony, New England Holidays, which has been described as an American Four Seasons.
