Helsinki, Finland | composers in the generation following Sibelius were unable to avoid his shadow, and Lauri Ikonen was no exception; indeed, he has been described as the 'last of the Sibelians'. Apart from Sibelius, he derived influenced from his contemporary and friend Leevi Madetoja, from Tchaikovsky and from Beethoven. These names alone are sufficient to outline a traditionally oriented Post-Romantic idiom with occasional Nationalist elements |

| Ingelius, Axel Gabriel | 1822 | 1868 | his opera, entitled Junkerns förmyndare (The
Junker's Guardian, 1853) ['Junker' is a German term for a young nobleman], is a curiosity partly because it was never performed and only fragments survive. Before this work, Ingelius had written the first Finnish symphony. His Symphony (1847) is hopelessly amateurish but not wholly without interest: its third movement, Scherzo finnico, is in the unusual metre of 5/4, following the pattern of ancient Finnish runo chants. Ingelius's output also includes about a hundred solo songs and choral songs. Ingelius came to a tragic end, freezing to death in a snowstorm in winter |

Ives, Charles

Danbury, CT, USA | 19 May 1954
New York, USA | Pupil of his father, George Ives (a bandmaster), and of Horatio Parker, Ives held several positions as a church organist. Partner in the insurance agency of Ives and Myrick, 1907-30. An early proponent of polytonality, complex rhythms, tone clusters, and what later came to be called aleatory procedures. A number of his works include quotations of hymns or other music. As Jan Swafford writes: Ives remains, and perhaps always will, the great maverick among Western classical composers. It is a position he would surely approve of. Yet for all the neglect that lasted to the end of his life, he felt confident that his work would reach the hearts and minds of listeners. After he met Ives in the 1940s, poet Louis Untermeyer recalled, "His presence impressed me. He knew what he had done. He knew what he was".

According to the printer's copies from the Whaley, Royce & Company files, held at Library and Archives Canada, Herbert Ivey's extremely successful song Somewhere in France was reprinted at least nine times. As the War ground on, alternative lyrics were included for the last verse - "
for he doesn't advertise and God bless him where he lies Somewhere in France" became "for he doesn't make a fuss, pray God send him back to us from Somewhere in France". In its final printings, the original lyrics were omitted entirely |
