source file: mills3.txt Date: Sun, 28 Dec 1997 19:28:44 +0100 Subject: Harry Parth & Native American Music From: John Chalmers RE North American Indigenous Music: Harry Partch made a number of transcriptions of the Lummis collection at the Southwest Museum in Los Angeles in 1933. These included songs of the Cahuilla tribe, from whom two melodies were quoted in THE BEWITCHED, an Isleta chant performed by Ramon Zun'i (and incorrectly attributed to the Zun'i tribe) used in CLOUD CHAMBER MUSIC, and music of the Hupa (Hoopa), which is mentioned in Genesis for its 13-beat rhythms. For more details, see the article by Richard Kassel in MusicWorks 51, Autumn 1991 pp 6-15. The cassette accompanying this issue of MusicWorks containes excerpts of this music, Partch's Cloud Chamber Music. Other MW cassettes with North American Indigenous Music are listed at the end of Kassel's article. --John SMTPOriginator: tuning@eartha.mills.edu From: Xou Oxno Subject: Re: TUNING digest 1282 PostedDate: 29-12-97 01:25:49 SendTo: CN=coul1358/OU=AT/O=EZH ReplyTo: tuning@eartha.mills.edu $MessageStorage: 0 $UpdatedBy: CN=notesrv2/OU=Server/O=EZH,CN=coul1358/OU=AT/O=EZH,CN=Manuel op de Coul/OU=AT/O=EZH RouteServers: CN=notesrv2/OU=Server/O=EZH,CN=notesrv1/OU=Server/O=EZH RouteTimes: 29-12-97 01:23:27-29-12-97 01:23:28,29-12-97 01:22:52-29-12-97 01:22:53 DeliveredDate: 29-12-97 01:22:53 Categories: $Revisions: Received: from ns.ezh.nl ([137.174.112.59]) by notesrv2.ezh.nl (Lotus SMTP MTA SMTP v4.6 (462.2 9-3-1997)) with SMTP id C125657C.00022497; Mon, 29 Dec 1997 01:25:20 +0100 Received: by ns.ezh.nl; (5.65v3.2/1.3/10May95) id AA26808; Mon, 29 Dec 1997 01:25:49 +0100 Date: Mon, 29 Dec 1997 01:25:49 +0100 Received: from ella.mills.edu by ns (smtpxd); id XA26802 Received: (qmail 710 invoked from network); 28 Dec 1997 16:25:45 -0800 Received: from localhost (HELO ella.mills.edu) (127.0.0.1) by localhost with SMTP; 28 Dec 1997 16:25:45 -0800 Message-Id: <34A71631.3DC6@virtulink.com> Errors-To: madole@mills.edu Reply-To: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Originator: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Sender: tuning@eartha.mills.edu
