Musicology:

Two Little Flowers, S.379
Year: 1921
Genre: Solo Song / Lied / Chanson
Pr. Instruments: Voice & Piano

The text of Charles Ives' song "Two Little Flowers" (1921) is of special familial significance. Not only was it a collaborative effort between Ives and his wife, Harmony, but it also took as its subject the Ives' daughter Edith and her playmate Susanna. The tender, happy subject of little girls at play is reflected in this brief vignette; Ives paints the scene with delicate arpeggios in the piano that span a plaintively unresolved major ninth and swing back and forth in a gentle septuple meter.
