That was also the opinion of his father, George Ives, who himself was a conductor of choirs and woodwind orchestras, and whose strange musical experiments greatly influenced the musical creativity of his son.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The father claimed that this work was very appropriate for church use, but very quickly it became clear that the composition was very challenging for communal settings, on account of the bi-tonal experiments that Ives included. This means that the two choirs are not singing in the same key! The places where Ives has one voice imitating another really sound like a competition between major and minor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ives ends the psalm in conciliation, when the choir sings the final words on the same two chords with which it opened the work. Ives, as was his wont, hewed very close to the original words, from the King James version.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The work was first performed in 1937, after Ives\u2019 greatness was recognized, and the breadth of his work became known. His daring harmonic style, that was far ahead of its time, was highly influential among American liturgical composers in the first half of the 20th century.
