Lou Harrison’s SIMFONY IN FREE STYLE (1955) was performed and recorded for the first time on this CD. It required a rewrite of Harrison’s descriptive score to create a set of practical prescriptive parts. The ”free” intent is to liberate notes from being tied to a fundamental tone. Just Intonation musical intervals are added and subtracted from existing pitches. The composer, who passed away in 2004, hadn’t imagined that flutes and violins could play microtones with accuracy. He thought that it would be necessary for the required flutes to be “correctly drilled” out of plastic, and that the strings be of the viol family with their requisite frets. The composer did not think the actual instrument timbres were critical if musical instruments could capture the accurate pitch. He wrote, “violin family may be used if these be adequately prepared for the use of frets.” Nathan Fuhr, now a resident of The Netherlands, conducted the premiere as part of Microthon 2000 at the Quaker Meeting House in New York City.
