Cosmic Closet,

The Ives work evocative of the grief surrounding the Lusitania sinking is called, "From Hanover Square North, at the End of a Tragic Day, the Voice of the People Again Arose".

The story is that Ives was going home from work - he worked in insurance- he saw a group of people on the train platform, mourning the loss of the Lusitania, who began singing a hymn, and Ives built on that image.

A very evocative piece and Ives weaves both the tension and serenity of grief in that wonderful inventive way.

Cheers,

Bambi B
