In the late 40's and early 50's, de Hartmann was invited by Jeanne de Salzmann, Gurdjieff's closest disciple, to give recitals of the music he had composed with Gurdjieff and to compose new pieces for Gurdjieff's movements and sacred dances.

 Dear Clarence Thomas: It Happened on July 4, 1776
In 1789, Thomas Jefferson wrote a note to James Madison about the future possibility of a president who didn't understand the principles on which America was founded.
Echoing Thomas' so-called conservative perspective, Rush Limbaugh said on his radio program on June 27, 2003, "There is no right to privacy specifically enumerated in the Constitution." Jerry Falwell similarly agreed on Fox News.
Thomas Jefferson, however, foreseeing a time when the concepts fundamental to the founding of America were forgotten, strongly argued that the Constitution must contain at least a rudimentary statement of rights, laying out those main areas where government could, at the minimum, never intrude into our lives.

On many evenings, in the presence of the entire group, Gurdjieff would sing a tune and tap out a rhythm, and de Hartmann would instantly have to capture the essence of what Gurdjieff was doing, creating a composition as he sat at the piano.

Thomas Jefferson wrote in a September 28, 1821 letter, "The government of the United States, at a very early period, when establishing its tariff on foreign importations, were very much guided in their selection of objects by a desire to encourage manufactures within ourselves.
It's time to apply that experience to GATT/WTO/NAFTA and return to our Founders' ideal of a nation where the rules of trade and business are, as Jefferson said, "very much guided" by the interests of We the People, rather than a handful of multinational corporations.

De Hartmann, who departed from Gurdjieff's circle in 1929---two years after these works were formulated---likely added the low-end harmonics and carefully dusky textures.
Thomas de Hartmann, musically trained and familiar with various modernist arts movements, was Gurdjieff's collaborator on these 42 miniatures, adding a mix of pre-minimalist pacing and learned tonal elements to what Gurdjieff surely saw as indigenous folk sketches.
The compositions, intended to accompany spiritual dances known as "Movements," were written in collaboration with Gurdjieff's pupil Thomas de Hartmann.

The title is somewhat misleading, in that it suggests that it may be a republication of the great project of Fausto and Felice Niccolini, Le case ed i monumenti di Pompei disegnati e descritti (4 vols., 1854-1897).
Considering, in particular, how many wall paintings documented by the Niccolini volumes have been destroyed in the interim, and how many objects are now lost, such a book would be well worth the effort -- and worthy of the sponsorship of an important cultural institution like the Getty Museum.
The translation, by Thomas M. Hartmann, is generally good, with several errors indicating his lack of familiarity with art-historical vocabulary.

 G I Gurdjieff and Thomas de Hartmann: Complete Piano Music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
These discs document about half of the music that he composed with pianist Thomas de Hartmann during their time at the Chateau de Prieure.
Likewise, although these short pieces are recognisable as transcriptions of folk music from the Mediterranean and the Middle East, de Hartmann's harmonisations are rigorously Classical, and the effect is extremely Westernised.
Nevertheless, it is possible to detect a hint of Eastern influence, but it is a servant tapping at the French windows of the Chateau bearing a tray of iced tea, rather than a serious engagement with the structural or tonal elements of the music.
