When they finished writing the song, Mercer called a friend, singer Margaret Whiting, and asked if they could come over and play it for her. On the third or fourth page of his work sheets I saw some lines-one of them was "My momma done tol' me, when I was in knee pants." I said, "Why don't you try that?" It was one of the very few times I've ever suggested anything like that to John.
It sounded marvelous once I got to the second stanza but that first twelve was weak tea. And I knew in my guts, without even thinking what Johnny would write for a lyric, that this was strong, strong, strong! When Mercer wrote "Blues in the Night", I went over his lyric and I started to hum it over his desk.
As usual with Mercer, the composer wrote the music first, then Mercer wrote the words. One requirement was for a blues song to be sung in a jail cell. Problems playing this file?

A feeling of calm and contentment ends the piece, finally coming to rest on one simple C major chord. The angry Beethoven theme is transformed into one of power, hope, and light. Building on that realization and quickly gaining steam, the piece ends with a powerful and joyful climax. A floating interlude brings us back to distant memories where we remember that we are shaped by our past, but have control of the direction of our future. The piece starts serenely but quickly devolves into uncertainty, doubt, and anger. The fact that Ives quotes Beethoven?s 5th Symphony so extensively makes me wonder about his views on destiny, fate, the future, and the creative process. According to Ives, the piece reflects on the old Alcott house in Concord, MA, but I feel a greater struggle in this work than a mere journal about a piece of architecture. Ives finished the majority of his Concord Sonata, from which this movement is excerpted, in 1915. Here is what the arranger, Ross Holcombe says about his great scoring of this wonderful and unique work by Ives.
