Partch Facsimile Scores with Schott

At the occasion of Partch's 100th Year of the birth, Schott has published a
facsimile edition of his scores. Following titles are available:

Six Poems by Li Po
Eleven Poems by Li Po
The Wayward
Dark Brother
Yankee Doodle Fantasy
Two Settings from Finnegan's Wake
Ring around the Moon
Summer 1955
Bless this Home
(to be continued)

I don't know how difficult, or easy, it was to obtain copies of Partch
manuscripts until now, but it's certainly good to sea that they become now
*officially* available.

I have been tracking this since their first announcement, and have
yet found a way to order them or get more information. No place I
contacted had any idea. Have you actually gotten a hold of any of
these? (seel below as well)

Before now they were essentially unavailable, having never been
published. For many reasons! But there is a caveat:

A couple of people have seen preproduction proofs of the scores, and
seeing that Schott didn't see fit to get any knowledgeable Partch
scholar involved, there are apparantly numerous errors. These would
be in the accompanying descriptions, instrumentation, etc, as the
scores are simply reproductions of his manuscript.

As of yet, Schott has not answered any of the contacts regarding the
errors, essentially ignoring any input, and may either not care or
don't want to be bothered with accuracy.

Regards,
Jon

Hi Wim!

I should also mention that one of the co-directors of the Composers
Concordance, Bill Holab is now Director of Sales and Publishing for
Schott Music Corporation in the United States.

So if anyone wants his e-mail address to inquire about this, I would
be happy to provide it...

Actually, Bill is a pretty open guy, and he is generally looking for
business, either publishing-related or engraving... he's a premiere
engraver, one of the best in the world.

So, I will give his e-mail address, William Holab:

bholab@att.net
