COMPOSERS

Little-known composers of wonderful music from off the beaten track whom you may not otherwise have encountered: - 

• Harry Partch invented his own sound world rooted in the laws of sound as found in Mother Nature herself (Just Intonation); 

• Giacinto Scelsi created spiritual music from within the deepest depths of his being whilst also inaugurating truly striking innovations within the form of the classical Western orchestra; and finally, 

• Alan Hovhaness who united East and West in spiritually uplifting music of poetic inspiration. Working again within all forms of the western classical tradition his music is strikingly melodic whilst also embracing those evolutionary developments within rhythm and harmony of the last (20th) century.
