The
Harry Partch Special Collection
Once upon a time
There was a little boy
And he went outside
The Harry Partch Special Collection at San Jose State University
contains a complete collection of autograph scores of Harry
Partch, perhaps America's most original and iconoclastic composer.
The past several years have witnessed increased activities from
composers and performers interested in working beyond the walls
of twelve-tone equal temperament. Technology, and perhaps a
more sensitized community triggered by access to global musics,
is now providing the artist with the interest and the means
to disturb the patrimony of standardization which Partch
originally challenged over 72 years ago. This page is in honor
of and in tribute to Harry Partch and is intended to serve as
a research resource for his work and a invitation to others
to take a step outside. Anyone having materials or
information relevant to this collection is invited to contact
The Harry Partch Project in care of:
