Encounters II Editions

Post by drow2buh »

I am doing a lecture recital about Encounters II and will be expanding this into a dissertation about unaccompanied and/or pieces with tape that were written for Roger Bobo.

On that note, I had a couple of questions:

Is there an article or anything written anywhere describing the differences between the different Encounters II editions/prints? I'm currently slowly digging through every old T.U.B.A and ITEA journal, as they have not yet digitized the journals.

I'm looking specifically for information about the various editions... ie: What caused the 1991 edition to be printed, and which changes were on purpose and which were printing errors, etc.? Furthermore, how about this new 2009 edition? Does it encompass the "true to form" ideal of the piece, or are there mistakes in it as well?

...and lastly, is there a printed version from before the 1970 production, and if so, how do I get my hands on a copy? The reason I ask is because of David Randolph's dissertation, where he uses Encounters II as an example for multiphonics. The part we all know to have low G's has low E's! I have attached his example for you to see...

Any info anybody has from first-hand knowledge or articles will be greatly appreciated!

Some of that was copied from an email. Obviously the pic isn't attached :)

Yeah, I already sent him a message and an email, as well as an email to Kraft, but have no responses as of yet. Thanks, though!

I was just wondering towards the end of Encounters what do the x's and o's mean about the D's?

Regular fingering and sound on the Os and half-valve on the Xs. To get an idea of the sound, listen to some recordings.

Just rethinking this as it is a part of my dissertation...

Does anyone know of any other editions besides the original 70s one, the 1991, and the 2009? Does anyone have a handwritten version or anything of that sort?

Thanks!
