Since its original publication in 1930, Henry Cowell's New Musical
Resources has become recognised as one of the few seminal technical
studies to be written by a twentieth-century composer. In 1971,
Virgil Thomson hailed it as 'a classic'. Cowell aimed to 'point out
the influence the overtone series has exerted on music throughout
its history, how many musical materials of all ages are related to
it, and how ... a large palette of musical materials can be
assembled'. In this respect Cowell was anticipating many of the
ideas to be realized in electronic music by Stockhausen and others.
For this 1996 edition, David Nicholls has provided an explanatory
essay and annotations to Cowell's text. The essay traces the
sources for the book and attempts to place Cowell's theories in the
broader context of musical modernism.
