Series 1: Writings

Sub-Series 1: Writings on musical composition

Contains Partch's writings about his musical compositions, both completed and projected or unfinished. The texts comprise scenarios, scripts or librettos, outlines, and statements for concert programs, record booklets, or record liner notes. These are primarily written materials, but a few musical sketches relating to a work are included as appropriate. Some items have been published in Harry Partch, Bitter Music: Collected Journals, Essays, Introductions, and Librettos, ed. Thomas McGeary (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1991), and in facsimile in Enclosures 3, ed. Philip Blackburn (Minnesota Composers Forum, Minneapolis). Folders are designated by a convenient short title. For full descriptions of each work and the versions referred to, see Thomas McGeary's, The Music of Harry Partch: A Descriptive Catalogue.
