 This is a superb introduction to Partch's music, covering many of the conceptual facets of his career including the early fascination with everyday speech patterns and the hobo life ("The Letter"). The final scene and epilogue from his "The Bewitched" is an excellent example of his mid-period work for larger ensembles and chorus as well as his attempts to "modernize" the ancient Greek practice of integration between musicians, singers, and actors. "Castor and Pollux" is a fabulous plectra and percussion dance from 1952, the point where his invented instruments really began branching out into realms of aesthesia undreamt by any of his contemporaries. It sounds entirely modern years later.

"The Letter" achieves enormous poignancy by simply restricting itself to a reading of an actual letter from a friend describing in sarcastic fashion his latest travails, accompanied by adapted guitar and percussion. Its stark simplicity and honesty set it far above the "equivalent" art songs being produced at the time. "Windsong," created as a soundtrack to an experimental film, shows Partch's greater command of his arsenal in 1958, varying the dynamics and increasing the sense of drama while still evoking all manner of amazing sonic colors.

From The Music of Harry Partch is a perfect starting point for the interested listener and, of course, mandatory for the Partch fan.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMBINED SHIPPING ON ALL 12" RECORDS (LPs / 12" SINGLES etc). PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!!

We offer combined shipping on vinyl records: our shipping rates are listed below. HOWEVER shipping packages that weigh more than 2kg is VERY expensive.

***Due to the physical logistics of how I can package orders, I will not combine box sets with other items, I will only package them individually***

---------------------------------------------------

COMBINED POSTAGE FOR DIFFERENT FORMATS will be invoiced at my discretion:

While I am happy to combine (for example) one or two 7” singles into one package with 12” records, sometimes it isn’t practical (like if you want me to combine one 12” record with three or more 7” records). I do not think that these combinations can be packaged together safely and securely. Therefore these will be invoiced separately as two packages.

IF YOU ARE UNSURE, please contact me before bidding!

---------------------------------------------------

Sorry but I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks of auctions (see below).

---------------------------------------------------

PAYMENT

I would appreciate payment within seven days of the auction's end. If you want to bid on more of our auctions ending a week later please inform me. I will wait and issue a combined invoice at the close of the second week's auctions.

However, I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks and in these cases would appreciate payment promptly after the close of the second week's auctions.

I am sorry to have to introduce these measures – I always try to be patient and allow buyers to bid on extra auctions and / or delay payment. Unfortunately some buyers have been stretching out transactions to unacceptable lengths so I have no option but to limit 'carried over' transactions to two weeks.
