I am particularly interested in what concert hall composers have to say about his music. Not
interested in what say Zimmer etc says about him.

When two volumes of Morricone's film music was released in the 80s, it seems like John Zorn and Harry Partch wrote the liner notes:

I find this interesting and I am wondering what they wrote about him. Can someone please help tell what it says? The image is too small, I can't read it.

I also know that Helmut Lachenmann cited Morricone as his favourite composer.

Feel free to post others.

The maverick composer/musical instrument inventor Harry Partch died in 1974, so he probably wasn't writing liner notes for Ennio Morricone in the eighties.

Oh, true, but he probably had written something about Morricone prior to that that they used in the liner notes. It says Partch and Zorn on the liner notes credits here: https://www.discogs.com/Ennio-Morricone-Film-Music-Volume-II/release/722871



Wish I could read it, but the image is too small :/ Wish someone could help tell what they wrote about him.

It beings with Partch's notes on the left, followed by Zorn, but it is too small for me to be able to read it.

John Corigliano was a guest-instructor at my college, and at one point I got him aside and asked which film composers he admired. Morricone was one of them. He also admired Goldsmith (who was the first one he mentioned), as well as John Williams, Leonard Rosenman and Miklos Rozsa.

I have this Virgin EM V2 compilation on cassette and what you are seeing is the end of a paragraph, where Zorn says something to the effect of 'tripping on Harry Partch'. If you REALLY have to know, I'll pull the tape and post the sentence. Only if you must know!!

I've read a lot about Harry Partch; there are a couple of really good biographies. And I've been listening to his music since high school, when a friend of mine ordered lps from Gate Five Records from Partch himself, who died about a year later. Anyway, I doubt that Partch had ever heard of Morricone. He spoke very, very rarely--if ever--about living composers, and his own musical universe was the 43-tone scale. That's why he built his own instruments. A truly fascinating and--this word is overused--unique composer. Anyone interested, try the large work Delusion of the Fury, or the collection of shorter pieces, The World of Harry Partch. I do get why John Zorn likes Morricone and Partch.
