Charles Ives’ composition, The Housatonic at Stockbridge, was inspired by a walk he took with his new wife, Harmony, in June of 1908 during a honeymoon hiking trip in western Massachusetts. The accompanying film imagines Ives on the riverbank that day immersed in the reverie of nature and this joyful time of his life. As he peers into the water, he thinks about the events leading up to this moment and imagines the possibilities of the future. What he hears around him provides a soundtrack for the visions within him which seem to be visible in the river as it flows on by. This is a sneak preview of the film that will be screened in November 2021, with score performed live by the Alexandria Symphony Orchestra.
