Klappentext zu „One Voice “
The study of American, microtonal composer Harry Partch (1901-74) is complicated by specious autobiographical accounts, contradictory theoretical positions, and a methodology predicatedon a vague concept of ''intuition'. These complications are exacerbated by his use of a forty-three-tone scale, non-Westerns ources of inspiration, novel terms for preexisting ideas, and ani ntegration of music, drama, and dance. In addition, his use ofratios to represent pitch, and the unique tablature notations forhis nearly forty invented instruments create a seeminglyi nsurmountable barrier to the analysis of his music. Yet while these complexities are initially overwhelming, they actually work to obscure the simplicity of Partch's core ideas and compositionaltechnique. At the foundation of all his ideas was anindividualistic concept he called One Voice. One Voice was the process by which Partch projected his self image through his works.In doing so, he created a model that aimed to inspire others toward individual expression and artistic investigation.
