Extractions: Harry PartchA Poet's View Alan Shaw B rowsing in a bookstore twenty years ago, I came across Partch's Genesis of a Music , in which he sets forth the theory and practice of his music in great detail. It was the first I had heard of him. I was just then obsessed with a rather esoteric question: how did the ancient Greek dramatists set their choruses to music? I had been trying to translate the Agamemnon of Aeschylus, and since I wanted the translation to be performable, it was essential to gain some idea of the how the original productions of the tragedies must have sounded. No one knew, of course. Partch was one of the few who even seemed to consider the question interesting or important. And what he had to say about it was more than intriguing. All the scholars knew that the Greeks regarded music and poetry as one, that they considered music without words an inferior art, and that the words sung in the choruses were apparently understood by a large open-air audience without difficulty. Musicologists knew that the Greeks used scales different from our own, that some of them contained "microtonal" intervals, and that Greek music (or its theorists, at any rate) favored scales built on intervals represented by small-number ratios (so-called "just intonation"). Partch put these well-known facts together in a way that no one else seemed to have thought of. Naturally the Greeks used microtonality, since they were interested in the most sensitive intonation of the words, and speech inflections require intervals smaller than the diatonic "semitone."

Education: Attended the University of Southern California. Harry Partch was the son of ex-missionaries and grew up in the American Southwest. His first rudimentary musical training came from his mother, a church organist. By his own account, he studied piano and harmony with various private teachers in the Arizona, New Mexico, Los Angeles, and Kansas City, and entered the University of Southern Californiafor a few months at leastwhere he studied under concert pianist Olga Steeb. He began composing as a teenager, and in his early twenties worked in traditional classical forms: a piano concerto, a symphonic poem, and a string quartet, among other pieces. The turning point in his musical life came in the spring of 1923 when he discovered On the Sensations of Tone , a book by Hermann Helmholtz which explained the foundations of music through the science of acoustics. Helmholtz related musical intervalsin their most basic form, the difference in sound produced by two adjacent keys on a pianoto the mathematics of a vibrating string. For Partch, this explanation led to the revolutionary conclusion that implied that the 12 tones used for hundreds of years in Western musicthe black and white keys on a pianowere not the only way to compose. A scale could be divided into as many distinct tones, known as microtones, as one wanted. Additionally, Partch believed that the roots of music in the ancient world actually laid in such microtonal systems that were very different from the Western scale, a scale which was artificially based on the mechanics of the piano. With this in mind, he developed his own scale, comprised of 43 distinct tones, rather than 12.

Didaskalia - Journal The late harry partch was an American experimental composer best known for his advocacy of microtonal Just Intonation 1 and the invention of an orchestra http://www.didaskalia.net/issues/vol3no1/chalmers.html
Extractions: E-mail: non12@deltanet.com The late Harry Partch was an American experimental composer best known for his advocacy of microtonal Just Intonation [1] and the invention of an orchestra of special instruments on which to play his music. Two decades after his death he is finally receiving the recognition that generally evaded him during his lifetime [2]. Among his most celebrated works are the two music-dramas he wrote on ancient Greek themes: Oedipus (1951, rewritten 1952-54, 1967), based on Sophocles' tragedy, and Revelation in the Courthouse Park Ñ After the Bacchae of Euripides (1960). These works not only contain some of his most interesting music [3], but exemplify to a great degree his highly personal musical and theatrical philosophy. Although recordings are still somewhat difficult to obtain, experimentalists in both drama and music will find these works intriguing and worthy of study. Partch's music and dramatic works are based on two fundamental philosophical concepts. The first of these is 'Monophony,' the sound of a single voice, speaking, intoning or singing, but always comprehensible and always faithful to the natural rhythm and intonation of the language. Partch's melodies thus grew out of the intensified inflections of speech and his harmony developed from the tonal expansion of the single tone (1/1) into a matrix of small integer ratios [4]. Though his music is replete with unusual intervals and chords, it is the marked (poly)rhythms and the novel percussive and plucked string timbres that strike the hearer initially with greatest force. Then one becomes aware of the delicate, ultrachromatic motion of his melodic lines and the great range of expressive intervals in his tonal fabric.
SJSU School Of Music & Dance - Harry Partch The harry partch Special Collection at San Jose State University contains a complete collection of autograph scores of harry partch, perhaps America s most http://www.music.sjsu.edu/links/partch/index.html
Extractions: The Harry Partch Special Collection at San Jose State University contains a complete collection of autograph scores of Harry Partch, perhaps America's most original and iconoclastic composer. The past several years have witnessed increased activities from composers and performers interested in working beyond the walls of twelve-tone equal temperament. Technology, and perhaps a more sensitized community triggered by access to global musics, is now providing the artist with the interest and the means to disturb the patrimony of standardization which Partch originally challenged over 72 years ago. This page is in honor of and in tribute to Harry Partch and is intended to serve as a research resource for his work and a invitation to others to take a step outside.

Extractions: Artist: NORRIS, TJ Title: Trimix: Tribyrd Installation Soundtracks Deconstructed Label: INNOVA Format: CD/DVD Price: Catalog #: INNO 121CD "A living archaeology of Portland, Oregon, would include its abandoned shipyards and warehouses, its layers of graffiti, and industrial detritus. Through the lens and imagination of artist TJ Norris, however, it takes on a sumptuous other-worldliness. He has unpeeled its ever-evolving history of culture and place in a set of three gallery installations together dubbed Tribryd. Trimix , this CD/DVD set, now re-imagines those events in yet another light. TJ asked eleven international sound artists, including such underground stars as Scanner, SETI, and Asmus Tietchens, to create electronic works that would accompany him on his photo journeys around the industrial Pacific Northwest. These sounds were then remixed and became an intrinsic part of the installations, along with three new video works by such luminaries as Sue Costabile and Ryan Jeffery."

Not until evening, when delegates to the Ameri can Symphony Orchestra League's convention began drifting into the room, were all the instruments ready. There stood the "Spoils of War," the "Sur rogate Kithara," the "Harmonic Canons I and II," the "Chromelodeon" and there stood Harry Partch, quietly examining the tolerant smiles that have confronted him all his life. "This re minds me of an old Chinese proverb " Partch told his 400 listeners. " 'I agree. I am what you accuse me of being.' " Having pleasantly confessed to whatever musical eccentricities his audience had already convicted him of, Partch sat down at Harmonic Canon II and began to play, aided by a disciple who had flown down from Tacoma, Wash., for the occasion. "You exclamation-point Jim," Partch chanted to the rhythm of the Surrogate Kithara's ponderous clucks, "get your semicolon asterisk out o this yard." It was music the likes of which few in the audience had heard before, but it forced upon everyone in the Palace a new and respectful opinion of Harry Partch: Harry may be nuts but Harry isn't kidding.
