Extractions: Few composers in any era of Western music have ventured into territory as esoteric as that which Harry Partch explored during his singular career. Although often underappreciated in his lifetime, Partch (1901-1974) is increasingly recognized by musicians and listeners as a member of the pantheon of great American originals that includes Ives, Cowell and Cage. Indeed, during this centennial year of Partch's birth, major commemorative events are taking place throughout the U.S., including an all-day celebration of the composer's life and his works at UCLA on Saturday, May 26. Partch was a California native and occasional Angeleno who rejected what he considered the empty formality of musical academia, and spent much of the Great Depression as a hobo, itinerant worker and lumberjack. Yet this self-taught, supremely individualistic and innovative musician went on to receive a Guggenheim Award and pioneered the modern use of just intonation and microtones in contemporary Western music. Microtones, which are typically described as the notes in the cracks of the piano keys, are intervals smaller than a half-step, such as that between B and C, in the well- tempered (or equal-tempered) tuning system that became the standard in Western music during Bach's life. However, microtones of various permutations abound in world music including traditional and ancient European musicbecause most of those tuning systems are based on the so-called natural, non-tempered scales derived from just intonation. In these tuning systems, ratios of intervals to the tonic (or root note) of a scale, such as C, determine the specific sound of the particular scale.

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."

http://www.ink19.com/issues_F/98_08/wet_ink/print/134_enclosure_3_nf.html

Extractions: I was first introduced to the instruments of Harry Partch by Hal Wilner's Weird Nightmare , a multi-artist tribute to Charles Mingus, where he used the so-called "Partch instruments" to great effect. The fact that it took so long for me to even hear the man's name shows how sadly neglected this important American composer's work is in our culture's general musical consciousness. Enclosure 3 is a collection of Partch's letters, newspaper clippings, photos and other miscellaneous materials. Blackburn's role as compiler is strict; nowhere through the main text does Blackburn interject with editorial comment or conclusion, or for that matter, apology. As a result, the book is a fairly chronologically linear (though, appropriately enough, eccentrically compositioned) overview of Partch's life and work. The whole picture, the gestalt , emerges only after careful and deliberate study. Forays into alternate tunings and instrumentation are not uncommon; Partch's fervent dedication and calculated genius was.
Harry Partch : A Biography
harry partch A Biography.
http://hallbiography.com/composers_musicians/84.shtml

Extractions: Harry Partch (1901^-74) believed in natural order, which led him to formulate musical scales, based on just intonation , whose "octaves" contained 43 intervals. He captured real speech patterns in his vocal compositions; his Oedipus , based on the poetry of Yeats, greatly rewritten, is an example of this. To realize his music, he built stringed instruments, keyboards that operated reeds, and tuned percussion; the shipping of his often immense instruments hindered public performances. Dance and staged movement were an integral part of most of his later music. Employed at odd jobs or living off grants, friends, and sponsors, Partch was wary of academic institutions. Bitter Music , recalling his days as a hobo, and Genesis of a Music , describing his musical theories, are his major writings. Few recordings gained commercial release in his lifetime, and his music remains recondite today. Gilmore's loving biography of an isolated, often bitter man depicts him as being ahead of other contemporary composers while on a track parallel to theirs and as being unique in his belief in predetermined, rhythmic, tone-centered music. Alan Hirsch This biography of visionary composer, theorist, and creator of musical instruments Harry Partch is the first to tell the complete story of his life and work. . . . Richly fascinating in themselves, Partch's compositions, writings, and life have revealed much about American society and the creative impulses of the artistic avant-garde.

http://www.gold-music.com/fiches/fiche_19875.php

Extractions: Fils de missionnaires, élevé dans l'Arizona, il décide, très jeune de s'écarter de tous les modes conventionnels de production et d'écriture de la musique, autodidacte, il expérimente des instruments capables de produire des micros-intervalles, ce qui l'amène à la formulation d'une gamme de 43 sons ; son instrumentarium se divise en 3 familles : les chordophones, les idiophones et les aérophones. Injouable sur d'autres instruments que les siens, Partch a exposé la théorie de son oeuvre dans son livre Genesis of a Music by Harry Partch. Sa musique est basée sur l'idée d'un retour aux sources (résonance et consonance naturelles, fonction rituelle et magique de la musique) et puise ses influences un peu partout (musique des indiens, berceuses, musiques orientales et africaines).
