they were small.
There is something to this great

your skin. Here, have found time
to enjoy life of independence and
write two novels. Best of all, l have
a plot of ground to call home.

all "msbehavior'-or shall we say non conformity
is abnormal. The little boy who snatches toy
from someone else may be within his rights,
just exerting his growing ego Children must
make some mistakes in behavior, too.
The parent or teacher who demands instant
and unquestioning obedience may merely be
building up some undesirable characteristics in a
child who really is reacting in a perfectly normal
way. Many grownups, instead OF trying 10 un

personal affront and punish him unjustly.
ONE thing DR.. OBrien would like to add TO the
~ scheme OF preventing emotonally inadequate
grownups in the future is training of couples
for parenthood
He points out that this, the most important
profession in the world, is undertaken annually
by hundreds of thousands of people who don't

Nashville Bride COMPOSER
Sets Speech
To Rhythm

MADISON, Wis. UP - A rebel
hous University of Wisconsin COM
poser is writing music which fol-
lows the natural rhythm" of
American speech.
Harry Partch, a resident at the
university under . Guggenheim
fellowship, admits that his purpose
is ito administer something of a
shock TO some segments of Amer
ican culture in order to force a
revaluation of our present music" !"
He maintains that neither concert
music nor Swing" expresses the
character of the American people.
Music To Fit Present
1--WE don't have a music that
comes from the people he said.
Our concert music is abstract, be-
yond time and space. What we need
is good music, yet one that con-
Germs us now, with no claim to i'm
mortality"
In Partch's high-school days ',
discovered that speech itself has
natural rhythm-natural in the
sense that words are not forced in
to preconceived pattern, distorting
their inherent music" He began
writing music using this rhythm
and trying to capture the inflec-
tions of ordinary conversation.
In this music the words flow
just as they flow in SPEECH" he
said. Il have a good tonal memory
and can recall days later the in
Election someone used in a phrase.
That phrase and that infection
become the melodic basis for my
harmonization."
Uses 43-TOne Scale
One of Partch's work, 20. S.
Highball," is a musical account of
a croSS-country hobo trip which
the composer says was his own ex-
perience.
To fit music to the infection Of
speech, Partch abandoned tradition
and adopted one 43-tone scale, all
in one key. He calls the resulting
music "monophony." However, he
found that by using this system he
could go into other keys as well.
Partch writes his music for an
instrumental quartet and voice. In
stead Of piano he uses a reed
organ called the chromelodeon,
adapted to a 43-tone scale. The
quartet usually is completed with
an adapted guitar, viola and a
kithara, a modification of an an
cient Greek instrument.
