Harry Partch (June 24, 1901 -- September 3, 1974) was an American composer, music theorist, and creator of musical instruments. He was one of the first 20th-century composers in the West to work systematically with microtonal scales. He built custom-made instruments in these tunings on which to play his compositions, and described his theory and practice in his book Genesis of a Music (1947 and 1974).
Partch composed using scales of unequal intervals in just intonation, derived from the natural Harmonic series; these scales allowed for more tones of smaller intervals than in the standard Western tuning, which uses twelve equal intervals to the octave. Partch divided the octave into 43 unequal tones. To play this music, he built a large number of unique instruments, with names such as the Chromelodeon, the Quadrangularis Reversum, and the Zymo-Xyl. Partch described his own music as corporeal, and distinguished it from abstract music, which he perceived as the dominant trend in Western music since the time of Bach. His earliest compositions were small-scale pieces to be intoned to instrumental backing; his later works were large-scale, integrated theater productions in which he expected each of the performers to sing, dance, speak, and play instruments. Ancient Greek theatre and Japanese Noh and kabuki heavily influenced his music theatre.

Live Recording - Meany Hall, University of Washington - 11/7/2012
Performed on original instruments invented and built by Harry Partch.
Castor and Pollux (1952) Harry Partch
Dean Drummond - kithara II
Nathaniel Liberty - surrogate kithara
Joe Bergen - cloud chamber bowls
Jared Soldiviero - harmonic canon
Jeffrey Irving - bass marimba (high)
Bill Ruyle - diamond marimba
Joe Fee - bass marimba (low)
Castor and Pollux "A Dance for the Twin Rhythms of Gemini" - was composed by Partch in 1952. First it was a sextet for Kithara II, Harmonic Canon, Diamond Marimba, Bass Marimba (two players), and CloudChamber Bowls. It was quickly determined that the Kithara part was too difficult and Partch also quickly invented and built the Surrogate Kithara so he could divide the original part between two players. A story of seduction, birth, and an ascent into the stars, this score only follows the story of the famous twins up to their birth, or more accurately, their hatching from an egg. (Daddy was a swan), It was originally conceived as a more optimistic antidote to Partch's dancedrama based on the tragic Oedipus. Castor and Pollux is one continuous work in two large parts, as each twin is handled separately, first Castor, then Pollux. Both halves of the work consist of three duos (or trios when the kitharas are playing) in sequence: the Conception, the Seduction, and the Incubation. In the fourth and final section of each half, Delivery from the Egg, the duos and trio are played simultaneously, a musical triple exposure.
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.

Newband was founded in 1977 by composer Dean Drummond and flutist Stefani Starin who continue as Artistic Directors. With Drummond's invention of the 31-tone zoomoozophone in 1978, Newband began to explore music using microtonality and alternative tuning systems. In 1990, Newband received custodianship of the original Harry Partch Instrument Collection and has since been involved with resurrecting Partch's great works while commissioning new works for what is now perhaps the most unique instrument collection in the world.

1. Today I am a Man
2. Gentlemen
3. Considered Pretty
4. A Very Good Idea
5. Possible Rides
6. Jesus was God in the Flesh
7. You Lucky Women
8. Why in Hell did you Come?
Barstow is one of Harry Partch's earliest extant compositions and one of the most accessible and often performed. It originates from the years when he was, often as a hobo, riding the rails from one casual employment or temporary home to another. In late 1939, he went on a hitchhiking trip to take photos in the Southwestern deserts of California and Arizona. In the tough little Mojave Desert junction town of Barstow, California, in February 1941 while waiting for a lift, he noticed the following inscription on a highway railing:
It's January 26. I'm freezing.
Ed Fitzgerald. Age 19. Five feet, ten inches.
Black hair, brown eyes.
Going home to Boston, Massachusetts.
It's 4:00, and I'm hungry and broke.
I wish I was dead.
But today I am a man.
He was struck by this "unedited human expression" and jotted it down along with seven more that were legible.
By autumn Harry settled at an abandoned convict camp at Anderson Creek on the Big Sur coast, living in the old superintendent's office. While there, he built his first large string instrument, the kithara, from gigantic redwood railroad bridge supports. Early in 1941, he set the eight hitchhiker inscriptions, scarcely edited, for solo voice and adapted guitar, with the idea that he could perform them as a solo work. Barstow lasts about ten minutes, and in spare, natural language paints deft and telling portraits of the unknowns who left little fragments of their stories on that highway railing. There's Ed, quoted above. Then there's brown-eyed, brown-haired Marie from Las Vegas who leaves her address so she can be found. "Object: Matrimony," she says. "Dear Marie," answers a later hitchhiker, "a very good idea you have there. I too am on the lookout for a suitable mate. My description -- ." But "[n]o description follows, so he evidently got his ride." Each inscription is introduced by a little ritornello, then is quoted in a more or less spoken passage, then extended in more fanciful sung passages, more in the style of American folk music than classical vocalism.
In the end, Barstow is a touching and even inspiring portrait of Americans at the bottom of their luck, grittily carrying on and somehow sure of better days. Or at least that was the mood after revisions in 1943, 1954 (when he grouped Barstow with other hobo-era pieces collectively called The Wayward), and 1968. In each case, Partch added more of his growing number of hand-made instruments and more singers. The instrumentalists now sometimes make comments on the original inscriptions, and Barstow has become an illustration of how better times can take the painful edges away from old memories. The adapted guitar original version, however, is a tough, serious piece with a less optimistic tone. In 1941, Partch's hitchhiking days were just yesterday, and his "personal Great Depression" was to continue for a few more years of wandering. [allmusic.com]

Castor and Pollux
In Greek and Roman mythology, Castor and Pollux or Polydeuces were twin brothers, together known as the Dioskouri. Their mother was Leda, but Castor was the mortal son of Tyndareus, the king of Sparta, and Pollux the divine son of Zeus, who raped Leda in the guise of a swan. Though accounts of their birth are varied, they are sometimes said to have been born from an egg, along with their twin sisters and half-sisters Helen of Troy and Clytemnestra.
In Latin the twins are also known as the Gemini or Castores. When Castor was killed, Pollux asked Zeus to let him share his own immortality with his twin to keep them together, and they were transformed into the constellation Gemini. The pair were regarded as the patrons of sailors, to whom they appeared as St. Elmo's fire, and were also associated with horsemanship.
They are sometimes called the Tyndaridae or Tyndarids, later seen as a reference to their father and stepfather Tyndareus.
Birth and functions
The best-known story of the twins' birth is that Zeus disguised himself as a swan and seduced Leda. Thus Leda's children are frequently said to have hatched from two eggs that she then produced. The Dioscuri can be recognized in vase-paintings by the skull-cap they wear, the pilos, which was explained in antiquity as the remnants of the egg. Whether the children are thus mortal or half-immortal is not consistent among accounts, nor is whether the twins hatched together from one egg. In some accounts, only Pollux was fathered by Zeus, while Leda and her husband Tyndareus conceived Castor. This explains why they were granted an alternate immortality. It is a common belief that one would live among the gods, while the other was among the dead. The figure of Tyndareus may have entered their tradition to explain their archaic name Tindaridai in Spartan inscriptions or in literature Tyndaridai, in turn occasioning incompatible accounts of their parentage.

Harry Partch Documentary-The Outsider
Harry Partch (June 24, 1901 -- September 3, 1974) was an American composer, music theorist, and creator of musical instruments. He was one of the first 20th-century composers in the West to work systematically with microtonal scales. He built custom-made instruments in these tunings on which to play his compositions, and described his theory and practice in his book Genesis of a Music (1947 and 1974). Partch composed using scales of unequal intervals in just intonation, derived from the natural Harmonic series; these scales allowed for more tones of smaller intervals than in the standard Western tuning, which uses twelve equal intervals to the octave. Partch divided the octave into 43 unequal tones. To play this music, he built a large number of unique instruments, with names such as the ... -

Partch divided the octave into 43 unequal tones. To play this music, he built a large number of unique instruments, with names such as the Chromelodeon, the Quadrangularis Reversum, and the Zymo-Xyl. Partch described his own music as corporeal, and distinguished it from abstract music, which he perceived as the dominant trend in Western music since the time of Bach. His earliest compositions were small-scale pieces to be intoned to instrumental backing; his later works were large-scale, integrated theater productions in which he expected each of the performers to sing, dance, speak, and play instruments. Ancient Greek theatre and Japanese Noh and kabuki heavily influenced his music theatre.

Performed on original instruments invented and built by Harry Partch.
Castor and Pollux (1952) Harry Partch
Dean Drummond - kithara II
Nathaniel Liberty - surrogate kithara
Joe Bergen - cloud chamber bowls
Jared Soldiviero - harmonic canon
Jeffrey Irving - bass marimba (high)
Bill Ruyle - diamond marimba
Joe Fee - bass marimba (low)
Castor and Pollux "A Dance for the Twin Rhythms of Gemini" - was composed by Partch in 1952. First it was a sextet for Kithara II, Harmonic Canon, Diamond Marimba, Bass Marimba (two players), and CloudChamber Bowls. It was quickly determined that the Kithara part was too difficult and Partch also quickly invented and built the Surrogate Kithara so he could divide the original part between two players. A story of seduction, birth, and an ascent into the stars, this score only follows the story of the famous twins up to their birth, or more accurately, their hatching from an egg. (Daddy was a swan), It was originally conceived as a more optimistic antidote to Partch's dancedrama based on the tragic Oedipus. Castor and Pollux is one continuous work in two large parts, as each twin is handled separately, first Castor, then Pollux. Both halves of the work consist of three duos (or trios when the kitharas are playing) in sequence: the Conception, the Seduction, and the Incubation. In the fourth and final section of each half, Delivery from the Egg, the duos and trio are played simultaneously, a musical triple exposure.
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.

Newband was founded in 1977 by composer Dean Drummond and flutist Stefani Starin who continue as Artistic Directors. With Drummond's invention of the 31-tone zoomoozophone in 1978, Newband began to explore music using microtonality and alternative tuning systems. In 1990, Newband received custodianship of the original Harry Partch Instrument Collection and has since been involved with resurrecting Partch's great works while commissioning new works for what is now perhaps the most unique instrument collection in the world.

Harry Partch
1. Today I am a Man
2. Gentlemen
3. Considered Pretty
4. A Very Good Idea
5. Possible Rides
6. Jesus was God in the Flesh
7. You Lucky Women
8. Why in Hell did you Come?
Barstow is one of Harry Partch's earliest extant compositions and one of the most accessible and often performed. It originates from the years when he was, often as a hobo, riding the rails from one casual employment or temporary home to another. In late 1939, he went on a hitchhiking trip to take photos in the Southwestern deserts of California and Arizona. In the tough little Mojave Desert junction town of Barstow, California, in February 1941 while waiting for a lift, he noticed the following inscription on a highway railing:
It's January 26. I'm freezing.
Ed Fitzgerald. Age 19. Five feet, ten inches.
Black hair, brown eyes.
Going home to Boston, Massachusetts.
It's 4:00, and I'm hungry and broke.
I wish I was dead.
But today I am a man.
He was struck by this "unedited human expression" and jotted it down along with seven more that were legible.
By autumn Harry settled at an abandoned convict camp at Anderson Creek on the Big Sur coast, living in the old superintendent's office. While there, he built his first large string instrument, the kithara, from gigantic redwood railroad bridge supports. Early in 1941, he set the eight hitchhiker inscriptions, scarcely edited, for solo voice and adapted guitar, with the idea that he could perform them as a solo work. Barstow lasts about ten minutes, and in spare, natural language paints deft and telling portraits of the unknowns who left little fragments of their stories on that highway railing. There's Ed, quoted above. Then there's brown-eyed, brown-haired Marie from Las Vegas who leaves her address so she can be found. "Object: Matrimony," she says. "Dear Marie," answers a later hitchhiker, "a very good idea you have there. I too am on the lookout for a suitable mate. My description -- ." But "[n]o description follows, so he evidently got his ride." Each inscription is introduced by a little ritornello, then is quoted in a more or less spoken passage, then extended in more fanciful sung passages, more in the style of American folk music than classical vocalism.
In the end, Barstow is a touching and even inspiring portrait of Americans at the bottom of their luck, grittily carrying on and somehow sure of better days. Or at least that was the mood after revisions in 1943, 1954 (when he grouped Barstow with other hobo-era pieces collectively called The Wayward), and 1968. In each case, Partch added more of his growing number of hand-made instruments and more singers. The instrumentalists now sometimes make comments on the original inscriptions, and Barstow has become an illustration of how better times can take the painful edges away from old memories. The adapted guitar original version, however, is a tough, serious piece with a less optimistic tone. In 1941, Partch's hitchhiking days were just yesterday, and his "personal Great Depression" was to continue for a few more years of wandering. [allmusic.com]

1957 - Harry Partch – Plectra & Percussion Dances
Harry Partch (born June 24, 1901 in Oakland, California – September 3, 1974) was one of the first composers in the West to work systematically with microtonal scales, he also invented and built instruments on which to play his compositions.
bio from harrypartch.com: 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.
