And on the Seventh Day Petals Fell in Petaluma (1964)

And on the Seventh Day Petals Fell in Petaluma, Harry Partch's homage to his California home. The composer spent four decades in theBay of San Francisco, with two breaks of six years each, always searching for new sound experiments. The 23 duet studies can be combined into larger-scale chamber music works and are also suitable as concert pieces - full of original polyrhythmics, polymetry and polytonality.
