The Bohlen-Pierce Symposium
First symposium on the Bohlen-Pierce scale, Boston, March 7 – 9, 2010
Kretz: HOQUETUS II

Abstract:

The composition “HOQUETUS 2″ for two Bohlen-Pierce clarinets and electronics uses a harmonic pitch system on the basis of the Bohlen-Pierce scale as implemented in the Bohlen-Pierce clarinets by Stephen Fox. The means of live electronics are used to emphasize the properties of this harmonic pitch system and to make its correctness more evident to the listener.
