Re: Novaro, Carrillo, Partch

Novaro included some short guitar pieces and exercises in his 2nd book. I sent copies to Wim Hoogewerf several years ago. I can probably scan them and send the files to the Anaphoria site. He was well-known as a teacher, though I believe of only 12-tone music and some of his students may still be alive in Mexico. I have some badly reproduced articles by one of his former students--I'll look up her name and post it when I get home tonight.

Harry Partch told me that he found nothing of musical value in Carrillo's music and expressed some surprise that someone like myself who was influenced and interested in Carrillo's work would also be interested in his. So, I doubt they met or that there was any influence.

In looking in my files last night, I saw in a listing of Carrillo's works, an entry about a SOLFEO in 5th tones (I presume this is merely an exercise or vocalise , not an instrumental piece). I'll post the reference to the lists.

Finally, does anyone have an email address for Arturo Salinas, a Mexican composer who studied with Jean Ettienne Marie and did some tape pieces based on Carrillo's piano in 96 (collage from recorded samples, I believe). I met him at Mills College, where he was a visiting faculty member back in the late 80's, but have lost touch.

I had the privilege of hearing him play last year at the UK microfest,
it was wonderful! I think some of these were on the program, but
can't remember for certain.

hi John-
I have a copy of the later book too. Getting the second translating is
a much greater task than the former. But have seen these guitar
exercises which i don't think are really pieces.

Through the years a few of Novaro's students students have contacted
me. None of them seem to have any direct knowledge or contact with
Novaro's music.
Since Erv is a natural Spanish speaker and i am not, i forward the
info and contacts to him.

I remember there being only one record of Carillo at the time (60's)
and maybe that turned off. It is not uncommon for creative people to
have this attitude toward the work of others:)
