Excerpt: Karlheinz Stockhausen (22 August 1928 5 December 2007) was a German composer, widely acknowledged by critics as one of the most important (Barrett 1988, 45; Harvey 1975b, 705; Hopkins 1972, 33; Klein 1968, 117) but also controversial (Power 1990, 30) composers of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Another critic calls him "one of the great visionaries of 20th-century music" (Hewett 2007). He is known for his ground-breaking work in electronic music, aleatory (controlled chance) in serial composition, and musical spatialization. He was educated at the Hochschule für Musik Köln and the University of Cologne, and later studied with Olivier Messiaen in Paris, and with Werner Meyer-Eppler at the University of Bonn. One of the leading figures of the Darmstadt School, his compositions and theories were and remain widely influential, not only on composers of art music, but also on jazz and popular-music artists. His works, composed over a period of nearly sixty years, eschew traditional forms. In addition to electronic musicboth with and without live performersthey range from miniatures for musical boxes through works for solo instruments, songs, chamber music, choral and orchestral music, to a cycle of seven full-length operas. His theoretical and other writings comprise ten large volumes. He received numerous prizes and distinctions for his compositions, recordings, and for the scores produced by his publishing company. Some of his notable compositions include the series of nineteen Klavierstücke (Piano Pieces), Kontra-Punkte for ten instruments, the electronic/musique-concrète Gesang der Jünglinge, Gruppen for three orchestras, the percussion solo Zyklus, Kontakte, the can...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=17268 ...

Product Description
Karlheinz Stockhausen is a unique figure in the history of 20th century music, renowned for his pioneering work with note "serials", his experiments with electronic synthesisers and taped music, and his exploitation of physical performance space. Stockhausen himself, however, is the subject of this book which describes his boyhood in Cologne, his struggles as a student, his studies with Messiaen in Paris and the circumstances in which many of his greatest works were composed. The text is illustrated with examples of his music. ... Read more

A lightweight and unfortunately dated biography, but useful enough
Michael Kurtz's STOCKHAUSEN: A Biography was first published in German in 1988. This English translation by Richard Toop appeared in 1992, and includes a few brief remarks on events which occured between the two editions. The book is emphatically a biography, for while it is understood that one can best describe the composer's life by the works he turns out, there is little heavy analysis of Karlheinz Stockhausen's music. In fact, it's almost as musicologically lightweight as Toop's biography of Ligeti, though it is illustrated not only with photos but also with many samples from the scores.

After a preface that vaguely descibes the mature Stockhausen's long writing of his opera LICHT (which was finally completed years after this biography appeared), we start with Stockhausen's birth. The history of his family and the interesting landscape of his ancestral lands is presented and, while coverage of Stockhausen's childhood and adolescent is limited, the reader learns how the young man first wrote a variety of literary works before deciding to become a composer.

Most of the book covers the period 1951-1975. We meet first the Darmstadt serialist, and see him become a electronic wizard. Entering the 1960s, Kurtz tracks Stockhausen's impressive world travels, including frequent visits to the U.S. and a highly significant first visit to Asia. The formation of the Stockausen Ensemble and its notable performances in a Lebanon cave and at the Osaka World Fair get detailed examination. Along the way, there are a few references to Stockhausen's personal life, such as his marriage to Doris Stockhausen, followed by his relationship with Mary Bauermeister and eventual parting. Kurtz never outright judges Stockhausen to have become an increasingly eccentric and bizarre figure, but enough details are there that the reader can understand why critics many feel this way.

One major downside of the work is the skimpy coverage of Stockhausen's life after the middle of the 1970s. Granted, Stockhausen had ceased to grant many interviews at this time, and was working with an intimate circle of family and close friends who aren't too talkative, so these decades would be a challenge for a biographer. But there's not even much talk of the musical output. We're repeatedly told that the LICHT cycle is a significant piece of work, but details about the operas complete up until that point are missing.

And while we see Stockhausen's place in the wider Darmstadt circle in the 1950s, there seems little attempt to place him in a larger context afterward. For example, the German composer was not the only one to turn to astral mysticism in 1968, as Per Norgard in Denmark did the same, but there's no such discussion of such trends.Stockhausen's close friendship with Boulez in the 1950s is mentioned, but the reader does not find out how the two men viewed each other in later decades.

If you are looking for serious analysis of Stockhausen's music, Robin Maconie's OTHER PLANETS is the book to get. Kurtz's biography is a good resource for anyone wanting a short overview of this highly influential and eccentric composer's life, in spite of its faults.

FASCINATING TILL LICHT
KURTZ' BIOGRAPHY IS EXCEEDINGLY RECOMMENDABLE FOR BOTH PEOPLE WHO HAVE JUST HEARD ABOUT THIS GREAT COMPOSER AND WANT TO KNOW MORE AND FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIS MUSIC BUT DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HIS LIFE EXCEPT STRANGEMYTHS (RELIGIOUS GURU WHO COMPOSED MASTERPIECES IN HIS EARLY YEARS BUT WENTMAD AFTER HE HAD COME IN TOUCH WITH EASTERN RELIGIONS). HOWEVER, THE PHOTOSAND KURTZ' MORE THAN JUST ENTERTAINING STYLE (ALTHOUGH PROFESSORS WILL MISSAN ANALYTICAL APPROACH) GIVE A GOOD IDEA OF STOCKHAUSEN'S CHARACTER AND HOWHE WORKS. UNFORTUNATELY, THE BOOK LOSES MUCH OF ITS FASCINATION ANDRICHNESS WHEN IT COMES TO THE "LICHT-OPERN". BUT (AND THIS IS ABIG BUT) IT'S A SHAME THAT THIS BOOK WHICH IS THE ONLY BIOGRAPHY ONSTOCKHAUSEN SO FAR ISN'T AVAILABLE ANY LONGER.

very thorough biography of stockhausen
this book does an excellent job of covering stockhausen's life from birthto present, and probably most importantly how his life experiences affectedand continue to affect his music.very comprehensive, an entertainingread, and very informative. ... Read more

Product Description
Barry wrote this as a tribute to his teacher, the legendary composer Stockhausen who died in December 2007. Using text from a letter written by Beethoven in 1821, the sentiment and simplicity of the setting are both poignant and effective, the declaration of friendship as true today as it was to Beethoven. Karlheinz Stockhausen may also be performed as a solo piano piece (played twice) or by wind instruments with a muffled drum. ... Read more

Excerpt: The Klavierstücke (German for "Piano Pieces") constitute a series of nineteen compositions by German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen. Stockhausen has said the Klavierstücke "are my drawings" (Stockhausen 1971, 19). Originating as a set of four small pieces composed between February and June 1952 (Blumröder 1993, 10910), Stockhausen later formulated a plan for a large cycle of 21 Klavierstücke, in sets of 4 + 6 + 1 + 5 + 3 + 2 pieces (Smalley 1969, 30; Toop 1983, 348). He composed the second set in 195455 (VI was subsequently revised several times and IX and X were finished only in 1961), and the single Klavierstück XI in 1956. Beginning in 1979, he resumed composing Klavierstücke and finished eight more, but appears to have abandoned the plan for a set of 21 pieces. The pieces from XV onward are for the synthesizer or similar electronic instruments, which Stockhausen had come to regard as the natural successor to the piano. The dimensions vary considerably, from a duration of less than half a minute for Klavierstück III to around half an hour for Klavierstücke VI, X, XIII and XIX. The first four Klavierstücke together mark a stage in Stockhausen's evolution from point music to group composition (Maconie 2005, 118). They were composed in the order IIIIIIVI, the first two (originally titled simply A and B) in February 1952, and the remaining two before June 1952 (Blumröder 1993, 10910). The set is...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=7797983 ... Read more

Extrait : Hermann Scherchen, (Berlin 21 juin 1891) - (Florence 12 juin 1966) est un chef d'orchestre allemand Fils d'aubergiste, né dans un quartier ouvrier de Berlin, Hermann Scherchen, très vite passionné par la musique, connaîtra les chemins de traverse d'un autodidacte. Jeune, il apprend à jouer de l'alto et devient altiste dès l'âge de seize ans. De 1907 à 1910 il joue régulièrement avec l'Orchestre Blüthner et, temporairement, avec l'Orchestre Philharmonique de Berlin. C'est sa rencontre, en 1911 avec Arnold Schoenberg, dont il est assistant pour préparer la création du Pierrot Lunaire, qui change tout. L'œuvre intéresse Scherchen par bien des points. Écrite dans une atonalité libre, annonçant l'atonalité ordonnée du sérialisme, elle s'inscrit dans un nouveau monde musical, cassant avec les théories classiques. Grand érudit, ayant étudié pratiquement toutes les dernières recherches musicologiques, Hermann Scherchen se reconnaît pleinement dans ces audaces et devient alors l'un des plus fervents défenseurs des créateurs contemporains.

Extrait : Stimmung, pour six chanteurs et six microphones, est une oeuvre de Karlheinz Stockhausen, écrite en 1968 et commandée par la ville de Cologne pour le Collegium Vocale Köln. Sa durée moyenne est de 74 minutes, et porte le numéro 24 dans le catalogue du compositeur. C'est à la fois une oeuvre sérielle et tonale. Elle tire son origine d'une précédente oeuvre non terminée de 1960 intitulée Monophonie. Stimmung a été composée aux États-Unis en 1968, alors que Stockhausen revenait d'un voyage en Californie, au mexique et à Hawaii. Le compositeur écrit l'oeuvre près du détroit de Long Island, sous la neige, une mer gelée et un fort vent continu. Une influence souvent mentionnée à propos de Stimmung est celle qu'a exercée le minimaliste La Monte Young, et la musique qu'il développe dans les années 60 avec son ensemble The Dream Syndicate. Bien que Young ait été l'étudiant de Stockhausen, Stimmung est une pièce à la La Monte Young, d'après Steve Reich. Lors de l'exécution de la pièce, le concert se présente comme un « feu de camp hippie », les chanteurs s'assoient en cercle sur le sol, dans la position du lotus. L'œuvre se compose de 51 phases interprétées les unes après les autres. c'est autour de la note pivot si bémol que la pièce se déroule. Sur la partition on peut y voir plusieurs indications. Par moment les interprètes doivent choisir un nom de Dieu (pré-noté sur la partition) et le chanter. On peut parler de Stimmung comme une œuvre indéterminée dans le sens que ce sont les interprètes qui choisissent le parcours mélodique et syllabique de la pièce. Stimmung a été créé à Paris le 9 décembr...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more
