Ives, Charles. (1874–1954). Thirty-Four Songs [New Music Quarterly, October, 1933]. New York: The New Music Society Publisher. October, 1933. First edition.

Upright tall folio. 71 pp. Blue paper wraps with some light wear to edges with a tiny chip to upper right front cover, some bending and light creasing along upper edge, else fine. The songs appear here in the quarterly magazine of modern compositions, founded by Henry Cowell and first issued in 1927.

New Music was founded as a not-for-profit, quarterly publication of modern, (mostly) American music, initially edited and partly funded by the composer Henry Cowell. The periodical counted around 700 subscribers in advance of its first issue in 1927, but that number plummeted to 350 when that issue appeared, much to Cowell's dismay. Ives, however, was so taken with the enterprise that he submitted a check for an additional 25 subscriptions. Cowell called Ives to offer his personal thanks, and, after examining some of Ives' works, offered to publish them in New Music.

 

Ives demurred at first, doubting that the series was truly non-commercial, but eventually changed his tune. He offered some of his scores to Cowell on the condition that he (Ives) would pay for all of the production costs. Because Ives had only self-published before, New Music effectively became his first publisher, and his music was the feature of several early issues beginning in 1929. This volume of songs marks the third time his works appeared in the publication.
