"Curtain!" My favorite part of the song, and of course the section after that :) great job!

Has anyone heard the version by the San Francisco Symphony and Chorus? they did a recording called An American Jounry, its a great version of this song

Great job on this song. Sometimes it's hard to make that switch. I'm doing an Ives set for my senior recital. Does anybody know where to find a video of someone singing "The Cage", "Immortality", "Berceuse", "Autumn", or "At the River"?

Oh lovely! Thank you. What about Grove, Rove, Night Delight? My favourite.

Why is it that every singer I have heard doing the final song vocalises on the 'u' of 'humming' rather than the 'm'? Clearly the singer is supposed to hum at this point. I realise that humming is probably more difficult than vocalising on the 'u', but the score is quite clear: the word is written 'hum - ming'. Sorry to be negative, because it's great to hear a singer performing Ives, but this does annoy me! :)



Jennifer, you've got to repeat this one! The recording skipped a during the second whistling passage, and got very jerky later. It would be wonderful to hear you with better sound reproduction, too.
When I performed this one, I was lucky that my collaborating pianist could whistle, and very well, too. I can't whistle for beans ... have a major third whistling range, max.

Yes, the person who recorded this had to do so on a small digital camera because the video recorder wouldn't work. If I get the chance to perform it again, I will definitely get a better recording!

Quite good... Although I have always heard the A of Memories incredibly rushed.. If I'm not mistaken, it says as fast as it can go, or something like that. But other than that, very good.

Yes, I realize that it should have been faster! I was a bit nervous about getting all of the words out, but realize now that I could have taken the a section a lot quicker.
Thanks a bunch!
