From Gary Lucas (yes yes THAT GARY LUCAS 🎸) a favourite Charles Ives piece as introduced to me by my art school tutor composer Gavin Bryars . . . . . .
New York Philharmonic
Leonard Bernstein Charles Ives - Central Park in the Dark
N.B.
The piece was first titled "A Contemplation of Nothing Serious or Central Park in the Dark in 'The Good Old Summer Time' (in comparison to A Contemplation of a Serious Matter or The Unanswered Perennial Question). Ives wrote detailed notes concerning the purpose and context of Central Park in the Dark: This piece was composed in 1906
