HARRY PARTCH Harry Partch (1901-1974), one of the greatest and most individualistic composers of all time, was not only a great composer, but an innovative theorist who broke through the shackles of many centuries of one tuning system for all of Western music, a music instrument inventor who created dozens of incredible instruments for the performance of his music, and a musical dramatist who created his own texts and dance/theatre extravaganzas based on everything from Greek mythology to his own experiences as a hobo. Between 1930 and 1972, he created one of the most amazing bodies of sensually alluring and emotionally powerful music of the 20th century: music dramas, dance theater, multi-media extravaganzas, vocal music and chamber music-mostly all performed on the instruments he built himself. With parents who were former missionaries to China, living in isolated areas of the American southwest, Partch, as a child, was exposed to a variety of influences from Asian to Native American. After dropping out of the University of Southern California, he began to study on his own and to question the tuning and philosophical foundations of Western music. During and after the Great Depression, he was a hobo and itinerant worker and rode the trains, keeping a musical notebook of his experiences, which he later set to music. In 1930 Partch broke with Western European tradition and forged a new music based on a more primal, corporeal integration of the elements of speech with music, using principles of natural acoustic resonance (just intobnation) and expanded melodic and harmonic possibilities. He began to first adapt guitars and violas to play his music, and then began to build new instruments in a new microtonal tuning system. He built over 25 instruments, plus numerous small hand instruments, and became a brilliant spokesman for his ideas. Largely ignored by the standard musical institutions during his lifetime, he criticized concert traditions, the roles of the performer and composer, the role of music in society, the 12-tone equal-temperament scale and the concept of "pure" or abstract music. To explain his philosophical and intonational ideas, he wrote a treatise

Harry Partch Harry Partch was born in Oakland, California on June 24, 1901, and died in San Diego on September 3,1974. His parents were American missionaries in China who moved to California just before Partch was born. His family lived in the southwest from the time partch was very young until he finished highschool. It is during this time that Partch says he received most of his musical influence. He was exposed to chinese culture and music through his parents, church hymns through his mom, mexican tunes,and the music of the Yaqui Indians. He also studied various strings and woodwinds as well as piano. Following the death of his father, in 1919, Partch's family mother moved the family to Los Angeles,California. He briefly enrolled in the Music School at The University of Southern California in 1920-21, but left stating that his teachers were "no older or wiser than he". It was during the period of the 1920's th the early 30's that Partch began to establish his ideas on music. Primarily self-taught, Partch studied music theory and composition in librarys. He focused on the music philosophies of the ancient Greece and denounced the theories of western music. He also studied

HARRY PARTCH A Biography Bob Gilmore 480 pp. 30 illus., 6 1/8 x 9 1/4 Cloth ISBN 0-300-06521-3 Visionary composer, theorist, and creator of musical instruments, Harry Partch (1901–1974) was a leading figure in the development of an indigenously American contemporary music. A pioneer in his explorations of new instruments and new tunings, Partch created multimedia theater works that combine sight and sound in a compelling synthesis. He is acknowledged as a major inspiration to postwar experimental composers as diverse as György Ligeti, Lou Harrison, Philip Glass, and Laurie Anderson, and his book Genesis of a Music, first published in 1949, is now considered a classic. This book is the first to tell the complete story of Partch’s life and work. Drawing on interviews with many of Partch’s associates and on the complete archives of the Harry Partch Estate, Bob Gilmore provides a full and sympathetic portrait of this extraordinary creative artist. He describes Partch’s complicated relationships with friends, patrons, the musical establishment, and the world at large. He traces Partch’s upbringing in the remote desert towns of the Southwest, his explosive encounter with formal music education in Los Angeles, and his revolutionary course as a composer that began with an interest in the musicality of speech patterns. After immersing himself in hobo subculture during the Depression, Partch came to occupy a lonely and uncompromising position as a cultural outsider. Richly fascinating in themselves, Partch’s compositions, writings, and life also have much to reveal about American society and the creative impulses of the artistic avant-garde.

HARRY PARTCH June 24 1901 – 1974 Composer, microtonal theorist, instrument-builder, writer, visual artist, satirist, philosopher, flunky, musicologist, copy editor, hobo, man of letters, publisher, iconoclast, record producer, eccentric, teacher . The 12-tone equal tempered tuning system has been around for about 300 years in the Western world but is scientifically an impure system of pitch relationships. In other words, notes have been ‘adjusted’ or put out of tune from the pure intervals of the harmonic series. This is borne out by the fact of much non-western music having different pitch relationships to the 12-tone system and, of course, much so-called ethnic music has been around since the dawn of time. One of the most ancient scales exists in Javanese gamelan. In the Paris fair of 1898 composers such as Debussy were strongly influenced by these strange oriental scales and tuning systems. However, this wasn’t the first encounter by a westerner of such tuning systems. In 1580, for instance, Sir Francis Drake logged in his diary that the music of this land ‘was of a very strange kind, yet the sound was pleasant and delightful.’ Partch is perhaps best known for his innovative so-called 43-tone-to-the-octave scale structure. Partch realised that Western music since Gregorian chant was completely out of tune and set about devising a scale system based on the overtones of a vibrating string or column of air. He calls this system Monophony, as all the musical principles relate to ONE tone (i.e. the first eleven partials of the harmonic series). Partch spent 12 years researching the science and musical theories which led him to this system beginning with Pythagoras (6

Dr.Godfried-Willem RAES Kursus Experimentele Muziek : Boekdeel Terug naar inhoudstafel kursus American Classics Harry PARTCH (24 juni 1901-3 september 1974) De hiernavolgende notities werden samengesteld door Joachim Brackx , als lesopdracht voor het vak muziekgeschiedenis, in 1996. Leven : Harry Partch werd geboren op 24 juni 1901 in Oakland,Californië_.Zijn ouders,Franklin Partch (1860 - 1919) en Jennie Childers (1863 - 1920),waren toen net terug van een missie in China. In 1904 verhuisde de familie Partch naar zuidwest Arizona,eerst naar Tucson,daarna naar Benson.Deze kleine dorpjes waren de laatste restanten van het "Wilde Westen",er leefden bijvoorbeeld echte vogelvrij verklaarden en ook enige Yaqui indianen. In zijn jeugd werd Partch dus beïnvloed door een amalgaam van culturen : in de eerste plaats was er de Chinese traditie die zijn ouders meegebracht hadden : Chinese meubels,vazen,boeken en zelfs volksmuziek en kinderiedjes die zijn moeder voor hem zong; daarnaast was er de invloed van het ruige "Wilde Westen" : de omgeving van de saloons,waar Partch de Mexicaanse volksmuziek leerde kennen en de muziek van de Yaqui indianen; ten slotte werd er in de Partch-familie ook Westerse muziek beoefend : Partch speelde piano,viool en mandoline.Bovendien had zijn vader ook een collectie Westerse muziek op 'cylinders'.
