George Ives, Danbury’s town bandmaster and a well-trained musician himself, was perhaps the young Charles’s strongest influencer; among George’s favorite composers were Bach and Stephen Foster, and their music would become his son’s inheritance.   Charles Edward Ives was born in Danbury on October 20, 1874, the first son of Mary (Mollie) Parmelee and George Edward Ives. The influences on Charles’s early musical life varied widely; from European concert music and American parlor music, to ragtime, other vernacular and sacred music, and even his father’s keen interest in sound. 
 
George Ives was a gifted self-taught early American music innovator and teacher of his son Charles Ives. George served as a musician and the youngest person to serve as a military bandmaster during the American Civil War. After his military service, George Ives performed and experimented on developing radical poly-tonal music forms which had a strong influence on his son's early musical development and style.
