Scope and Contents of the Materials

Consists of books, music, films, personal papers, artifacts and sound recordings collected by the staff of the Music and Performing Arts Library and the University of Illinois School of Music documenting the life and career of Harry Partch, and those associated with him, throughout his career as a composer and writer.

Biographical Note

Born in Oakland, CA in 1901, Harry Partch was an American composer, theorist, instrument designer and performer. He is best known for the work he did with just temperment: developing a 43 tone octave scale, writing pieces to showcase it, and building instruments upon which it could be played. His musical knowledge was largely self-taught and his interest in intonation emerged out of microtonal experimentation conducted on string instruments. Many of his thoughts on the matter are outlined in his 1947 treatise, Genesis of a Music.

By the early 1950s, he had established the Gate 5 Ensemble and record label and begun a musical partnership with fellow composer Ben Johnston that would take him to the University of Illinois in 1956, where Johnston was then teaching. While at Illinois, Partch premiered his large stage work, The Bewitched, as part of the Festival of Contemporary Arts and also composed and had performed the stage works Revelation in the Courthouse Park and Water! Water! He returned to California in 1962 where he completed his last project, the text and music for a film, The Dreamer that Remains before his death in 1974.

Acquisition Source: Donation and acquisition

Acquisition Method: In 1975 the Music and Performing Arts Library acquired a set of scores reproduced from Partch's vellum masters through Irv Wilson. The Music and Performing Arts Library Harry Partch Collection was created in 1978 by Professor Ben Johnston and Thomas McGeary for the purpose of collecting relevant material documenting the life and musical work of Harry Partch. The impetus for the Collection was a donation by Lauriston C. Marshall of a group of tapes, recordings, documents, and letters. Over the following decade, many more accretions were added to the archive. Much of the work of collecting, organizing, and cataloging the material has been make possible through a generous grant to the Archive made by Betty Freeman in 1986.

Series 9: Lauriston C. Marshall Collection

The Lauriston C. Marshall Harry Partch Collection consists of materials relating to Harry Partch given to the University of Illinois Music Library by Larry and Lucie Marshall between 1976 and 1980. The collection provides important documentation for Partch's activities especially between 1949 and 1952 due to the documentation arising from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation grants shared by Partch and Marshall. As a precaution, Marshall had many of Partch's compositions and journals microfilmed, thus preserving several otherwise lost compositions and journals. A more comprehensive biography of Marshall can be found in Box 11, Folder 1 "Correspondence regarding establishment of Marshall Collection."

Arrangement note: related correspondence may be found in adjacent folders in sub-series two.

These reels contain original microfilms of Partch's musical compositions and journals; films nos. 1 and 2 were probably made around 1951 at Berkeley, California; film no. 3 was probably made in Madison, Wis., ca. 1944. The scores represent early versions (often using a variety of experimental notations) of several compositions, including one work ("Come Away, Death") which does not appear in Partch's list of compositions contained in Genesis of a Music, and which was not later revised and renamed. Partch later believed the two journals had been lost.
