' "Revelation", based on Euripides' "The Bacchae", is a bizarre
conjunction of Americana (trampolinists, gymnasts and a marching
band) and ancient Greek tragedy (masked actors). We see only
about seven minutes' worth of extracts from the original 1960
Illinois production, as broadcast on American television in 1961,
but even these fragments of grainy black and white footage are
enough to show what Partch was trying to do; and even today,
nearly fifty years later, it would be considered transgressive.'
- Malcolm Tattersall, writing in today's Music & Vision magazine about
'Enclosure 7', the Harry Partch DVD from the American Composers Forum
