Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: Ives composed to suit himself, Copland tried to make his music accessible to ordinary citizens; melodies of
both tended to preexistent American themes although Ives combined his tunes in such as way as to make the
familiar unfamiliar; Ives frequently included polytonality and his dissonance is harsh and jarring dissonance;
Copland softens and makes it more palatable through widely spaced chords; Ives's texture tends to be thick
and dense, Copland's texture is open, usually with a bass, treble, and middle.

ANSWER: regular rhythmic pulse, repeating bass pedal point and walking bass, terraced dynamics, quotes a Baroque
melody
