Cowell (Henry) Two Songs for Double Bass (Orchestra Tuning) and Piano. 1. Sunset 2. Rest. Edited by Lucas Drew.
From the Publisher
The prolific American composer Henry Cowell grew up in the San Francisco area. The following quote is from the International Cyclopedia of Music and Musicians by Oscar Thompson: “Cowell started his formal studies in composition with Charles Seeger at the University of California at Berkeley in
1913. Cowell’s path-finding book New Musical Resources (1919) explores the possibilities for orderly development ofthe rhythmic structures as well as explaining and justifying his novel harmonic devices. It was this book that also codified his theory oftone-clusters.”
These two pieces offer a glimpse of Cowell’s originality.
