Zimmermann, Bernd Alois Harry Partch was born in Oakland, California as son of missionary parents on 24 June 1901. Largely self-taught, he enhanced his skills as instrument maker and developed during the 1920s and 1930s his own theory of music. Taking his authority from the Greeks, he argued for music as a 'corporeal' rather than an intellectual art. He used the natural intervals of just intonation and built his own percussion and wind instruments for this purpose in a 43-note scale. His own major works were dramatic, their drama enhanced by the striking presence of his instruments. Largely ignored by standard musical institutions, he criticised concert traditions, the roles of performer and composer, the role of music in society, the twelve-tone equal-temperament scale and the concept of pure or abstract music. To explain his ideas, he wrote "Genesis of a music". Between 1930 and 1972, Partch, who held no teaching appointments, but had research posts at the universities of Wisconsin, Illinois, and California, created music dramas, dance theatre, vocal music and chamber music - mostly performed on instruments he built himself.

Zimmermann, Bernd Alois Harry Partch wurde am 24. Juni 1901 in Oakland, Kalifornien, als Sohn von Missionaren geboren. Weitgehend Autodidakt, perfektionierte er seine Fähigkeiten als Instrumentenbauer und entwickelte in den 20er und 30er Jahren eine eigene Musiktheorie. Ausgehend von den griechischen Schriften zur Musik plädierte er für eine weniger intellektuelle, mehr "körperliche", von inneren Bewegungsimpulsen bestimmte Musik.. Er benutzte Mikrotonintervalle und baute zur Realisation seiner auf einer 43-tönigen Skala basierenden Werke sein eigenes Schlagwerk und eigene Holzblasinstrumente. Seine Hauptwerke sind überwiegend musikdramatischer Natur und beziehen durch das spezifische Instrumentarium zusätzliche dramatische Impulse. Lange von den klassischen Musikinstitutionen ignoriert, kritisierte er konventionelle Konzerttraditionen, die althergebrachte Rolle der Ausführenden und Komponisten, die Rolle der Musik in der Gesellschaft, die Wohltemperierte Stimmung und die Idee der absoluten Musik. Diese Ideen legte er in der "Genesis of a music" nieder. Zwischen 1930 und 1972 schuf Harry Partch, der nie offiziell unterrichtete, jedoch an den Universitäten von Wisconsin, Illinois und Kalifornien forschend tätig war, Musikdramen, Tanztheater, Vokal- und Kammermusik, die überwiegend auf den von ihm selbst konstruierten Instrumenten auszuführen ist.

    Extractions: An obituary reads: "Harry Partch: American composer, librettist, philosopher, publisher, record distributor, teacher, satirist, instrument builder and designer, sculptor, instrument repairman and tuner, theorist, experimentalist, iconoclast, self-taught musician, percussionist, adapted violist, conductor, author, retired hobo, seaman, sewer cleaner, dishwasher and kitchen flunky, comedian, vagrant, member of the Percussive Arts Society Hall of Fame, and graffitist. Until his death, Harry Partch had lived in San Diego and had been doing his own thing for more than half a century. Partch's own thing began with his rejection of the European masters and the traditional bourgeois concert-hall performance." [Numus-West; 6/74, Page 28] Harry Partch was born in Oakland, California. His parents had been Presbyterian missionaries in China who endured the Boxer Rebellion. Two years after his birth, they moved to Arizona to homestead, but never for long in any one place; after age fourteen, in fact, Partch never stayed more than three years in any single residence. He roamed all over: Hawaii at age twenty, the Midwest and East and back to Northern and Southern California. Partch's early compositions, dating from the 1930's, are all vocal, with small instrumental accompaniments. They are masterpieces of Americana, employing the language in a natural style uninfluenced by European traditions.

    http://www.musicmavericks.org/features/feature_partch.html
    
    Extractions: By 1969, the year he recorded "Delusion of the Fury," Harry Partch had designed 27 new instruments, all to be played on stage at the same time in a spatial ritual theater. These instruments were made to be beautiful in sound, vision, and "magical purpose." They were tuned according to the natural overtone series, "Just Intonation" Some, like the Chromelodeon, had as many as 43 tones in a single "octave." He made particular instruments for specific needs in his compositions, not the other way around. But, more than this, he designed the instruments to be "corporeal." To Partch, corporeal meant to involve the whole body, the whole person in the art.

Born in Oakland, California, he was largely self-taught in music. Most of his works are theatrical or have texts; often they exhibit an element of irony mixed with idealism and a strong sense of ritual. His instruments, which have been exhibited at the San Francisco Museum of Art and at the Museum of Modern Art, New York City, include percussion instruments such as the cloud-chamber bowls (of glass) and the boo (a bamboo marimba) and stringed instruments such as the surrogate kithara. His music is primarily monophonic (using unharmonized melody), with a strong rhythmic momentum. His most famous work is the suite

Partch also wrote music based on newsboy cries and hobo experiences. Another of his innovations was the division of the octave into a 43-note scale. He designed and built instruments to play music composed from this scale. Partch wrote several stage works, including, in 1952, music for William Butler Yeats's adaptation of Sophocles' Oedipus.
