Songs My Mother Taught Me (Charles Ives song)
"Songs My Mother Taught Me" is a song for voice and piano, written by Charles Ives (S. 361, K. 6B21c) in 1895 and set to a poem by Adolf Heyduk.[1][2] Ives' song was written some fifteen years after Dvořák's setting of the same poem, with which it shares some similarities.[1]
There have been numerous arrangements of the Ives song with its nostalgic melody.[3] New York City Ballet balletmaster Jerome Robbins used it for one of the dances he made in Ives, Songs.[4]
