Bio
Charles Edward Ives was born in Danbury, Connecticut. His father was a trained musician and tutored Charles and his brother Moss. Ives studied at the Hopkins School and then at Yale where he was a popular figure on campus. He composed while studying and produced a campaign song for William McKinley and his Pulitzer-winning 1st Symphony, though it would not receive the prize for many years.
