Extra-Infos: Works By Harry Partch
Description:Eine Sammlung von Partch-Klassikern, die noch niemand wirklich gehört hat. Seine Partitur für den Film Windsong wurde für den Soundtrack geschnitten, und obwohl Musikliebhaber das Material aus der später erweiterten Daphne of the Dunes erkennen werden, ist das symphonisch strukturierte Original viel dramatischer gestaltet und wird hier zum ersten Mal präsentiert. Es stellt sich heraus, dass es tatsächlich auch zwölf Intrusions gibt, nicht elf. Eine verrückte Sonate? Oh ja! Obwohl der Komponist sie nie aufgeführt oder aufgenommen hat, ist seine 1950 entstandene Komposition Sonata Dementia dreisätzig: I. "Abstraktion und Wahn", II. Scherzo Schizophrenie, und III. Allegro Paranoia. Bis zum Rand gefüllt mit Humor, Höhenflügen und einer unbändigen Phantasie wurde sie später als "Ring Around the Moon" überarbeitet, aber was für ein Genuss, das Original in seiner ganzen verrückten Pracht zu hören. Die Bonus Tracks enthüllen noch mehr verlorene Schätze: Die allererste Aufnahme von Partch als Interpret, die sein wohl berühmtestes Stück Barstow: 8 Hitchhiker Inscriptions vor einem Live-Publikum im Jahr 1942, nur ein Jahr nach der Entstehung, spielt. - WORKS BY HARRY PARTCH
Did you know that the legendary American Maverick Harry Partch wrote music for West Coast jazz icons Chet Baker and Gerry Mulligan? They never got a chance to play his smart and funny Ulysses at the Edge of the World, but this "Minor Adventure in Rhythm" really swings in time signatures that would have made Dave Brubeck blush. So opens a collection of Partch classics that no one has really heard before. His score for the film Windsong was edited for the soundtrack, and though music lovers will recognize the material from the subsequently expanded Daphne of the Dunes, the symphonically structured original is much more dramatically crafted, and is presented here for the first time. It turns out that there are actually Twelve Intrusions, too, not eleven. And a demented sonata? Oh yes! Though the composer never performed or recorded it, his 1950 composition Sonata Dementia is in three movements: I. Abstraction & Delusion, II. Scherzo Schizophrenia, and III. Allegro Paranoia. Filled to the brim with humor, flights of fancy, and a febrile imagination, it was later reworked as "Ring Around the Moon," but what a treat to hear the original in all it's zany glory. The Bonus Tracks reveal even more lost treasures: here is the original 1904 Edison recording of the Native American "Cançion" that Partch had transcribed in the 1930s and used to close his final Intrusion "Cloud Chamber Music." But best of all, the first-ever recording of Partch as performer, playing what is probably his most famous piece, Barstow: 8 Hitchhiker Inscriptions in front of a live audience in 1942, just a year after it was written.
