source file: mills2.txt Date: Fri, 23 Aug 1996 10:57:34 -0700 Subject: New Partch recordings promised From: blee@dircon.co.uk (Brian Lee) Here's a tidbit I picked up on the newsgroup rec.music.classical.contemporary on the usenet and I repost it here. Please note that the discussion on Partch he refers to is on that newsgroup not related to what's going on here. Toodle pip! Brian Lee ***************** It's great to see all this discussion about Harry Patch! CRI has kept his music available for more than twenty years. He's a back bone of our catalogue not to mention the experimental tradition in American music. When we reissued on CD The Bewitched, we made a flyer offering both our Patch CDs plus three books by our about Partch and the video of The Dreamer That Remains. If you e-mail CRI, we can send you this flyer by standard U.S. mail. Of the three books offered (an annotated catalogue of his works, Genesis of a Music, and Bitter Music), Genesis is out of print when last we checked, but the other titles can be obtained still through CRI. AND, we have plans to reissue the majority of Patch's remaining Gate 5 recordings on CD. Gate 5 was Patch's own label wherein he recorded the majority of his major works. Our two CDs of recordings are drawn from Gate 5 material. Lots still remains -- many recordings not heard in years. I spent a weekend last spring with Danlee Mitchell, Patch's heir, in San Diego reviewing the material. That's all I'll say for now... It's going to be a lot of work to get this done (two or three new CDs) with proper notes and librettos, etc. So, my guess is winter/spring of next year will be the time to look for a major new Patch series on CRI.
