Harry Partch (24 June 1901 – 3 September 1974) was an American composer, music theorist, and creator of musical instruments.
Forward! Partch!
The music made
By Harry Partch
Is rarely played
By those who march.
Right off the bat,
The fact prevails
That gizmos that
Can play his scales
Take lots of space,
Are fragile, and
They have no place
In marching band.
