Don’t Curse the Precursors

Along with John Knowles Paine, Horatio Parker, Amy Beach, Arthur Foote, and Edward Mac Dowell, he [Chadwick] was a representative composer of what is called the Second New England School of American composers of the late 19th century—the generation before Charles Ives. – Wikipedia

The Second New England School consists

    Of Beech, MacDowell, and Paine;

Add Foote and Chadwick and the list’s

    Completed, in the main.

They lived in proper Boston style,

    And prospered in their lives,

While History, with a patient smile,

   Awaited Charles Ives.
