 Music Cemetery
The Music Cemetery may well be the first burial ground to serve the early settlers in and around Summitville.
The earliest legible stones in the Music are incised 1840, one for a son of Zachariah Robertson and another for Ellen Stanley who died March 2 of that year.
This indicates the very small number of families living near the Music Cemetery in the early 19th century as compared to the number in the early 21st.

The sheet music industry was burgeoning as no other entertainment form had before and learning to play the piano was a major industry.
In 1874, American music was in what we have called the "Dead Zone" and much of the music in America induced ennui and/or was more European in nature than American.

 Charles Ives   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
When he was perhaps 19 (the dating of his music is nearly always problematic) he produced psalm settings that exploit polytonality and other unusual procedures.
He worked, however, not in music but in the insurance business, and composition became a weekend activity - but one practised assiduously: during the two decades after his graduation he produced three more symphonies and numerous other orchestral works, four violin sonatas, two monumental piano sonatas and numerous songs.
Most of his music had been written without prospect of performance, and it was only towards the end of his life that it began to be played frequently and appreciated.

 Max Reger
Max Reger's musical output spanned several genres, including choral works, but he is recognized and appreciated particularly as a composer of organ music.
He began musical studies at a young age and by the age of fifteen was already composing in earnest.
His musical mind was that of a genius: being able to write music in almost any circumstances, and music that was often of great contrapuntal complexity.

In 1919 he founded a society for performance of new music, and in 1925 returned to Berlin to teach.
Schoenberg's early music was clearly marked by the style of the late nineteenth century, and influences of Brahms, Mahler and others can be seen in pieces such as his Verklärte Nacht.
The music of this period is also marked by a style that is referred to as expressionist, and Schoenberg had contact with, and a great deal of admiration for, the expressionist painters and writers (Schoenberg himself painted in an expressionist style).

 Ives, Charles (1874 - 1954)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Ironically, by the time that his music had begun to arouse interest, his own inspiration and energy as a composer had waned, so that for the last thirty years of his life he wrote little, while his reputation grew.
The symphonies of Ives include music essentially American in inspiration and adventurous in structure and texture, collages of Americana, expressed in a musical idiom that makes use of complex polytonality (the use of more than one key or tonality at the same time) and rhythm.
Much of the earlier organ music written by Ives from the time of his student years, when he served as organist in a number of churches, found its way into later compositions.

Music from the American musical Yiddish theater with subsets of songs from incidental music for plays at the Yiddish Art Theater and songs from the labor-oriented depression era Arbeter Teater Farband.
Without meaning to sound as if the songs are derivative in any way, the music tends to a kind of combined lyrical line that extends from American operetta and early theater with a mix of the vaudevillian song, though "popular" song style is less apparent on the surface of many of the songs.

 Holst, Gustav (1874 - 1934)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Gustav Holst, of Scandinavian ancestry on his father's side, was born in the English spa town of Cheltenham in 1874 and studied music at the Royal College in London, using his second study, the trombone, to provide an income.
His music had a variable reception in his life-time, but he exercised a strong influence on later English composers.
As a choral conductor, Holst wrote a considerable amount of choral music, accompanied and unaccompanied, including arrangements of folk-songs, and a smaller number of solo songs.

 Arnold Schönberg
He began violin lessons when he was eight and almost immediately started composing, though he had no formal training until he was in his late teens, when Zemlinsky became his teacher and friend (in 1910 he married Zemlinsky's sister).
The larger pieces of this period have some appropriate dramatic content: the rage and despair of a woman seaching for her lover (Erwartung), the bizarre stories, melancholia and jokes of a distintegrating personality (Pierrot lunaire, for reciter in Sprechgesang with mixed quintet), or the progress of the soul towards union with God (Die Jakobsleiter).
Gradually Schönberg came to find the means for writing longer instrumental structures, in the 12-note serial method, and in the 1920s he retumed to standard forms and genres, notably in the Suite for piano, String Quartet no.3, Orchestral Variations and several choral pieces.
