Partch's curmudgeonly, eccentric, 48-note-to-the-scale charm is at it's height on this billowing, turbulent opera. Half is a rework of a Japanese Noh play, and the other half is from Ethiopian folklore. Partch's best argument for the superiority of hobo life to that of the music conservatory isn't found in his long-winded, syphillitic writings or dry attempts to mimic speech intonation. Instead, it's this bonfire of jokes, oddly stretched singing, & layers of tuned percussion. Tracklisting: Exordium The Beginning of a Web, Chorus of Shadows, The Pilgrimage, Emergence of the Spirit, A Son in Search of his Father's Face, Cry From Another Darkness, Pray For Me, The Misunderstanding, Arrest Trial and Judgement, Pray For Me Again, The Quiet Hobo Meal, The Lost Kid, Time of Fun Together.
