Dezember 2012 Zahlreiche zeitgenössische Instrumentalwerke überschreiten die Grenzen zwischen In- strumentalmusik und Musiktheater und stellen damit die Interpret/innen vor neue An- forderungen. Das Werk Karlheinz Stockhausens, insbesondere sein Musiktheaterzyklus LICHT, stellt dafür im Musikschaen des 20. Jahrhunderts ein herausragendes Beispiel dar. Diese Arbeit dokumentiert die auührungspraktische Auseinandersetzung mit die- sem Werkkomplex. Anhand der Szene HALT aus DONNERSTAG aus LICHT, die letz- tes Jahr im Rahmen eines künstlerischen Forschungsprojekts einstudiert und aufgeführt wurde, wird ein Einblick in Stockhausens ästhetische und musiktheatralische Konzepte vermittelt. Inhaltliche Kriterien für die Entwicklung einer werktreuen Neuinterpretati- on werden genauso vorgestellt wie performative Aufgaben, denen Musiker/innen für die Arbeit an musikalisch-szenischen Werken gewachsen sein müssen.

  • Classic Albums: the Berlin/Germany Edition
    Course Title Classic Albums: The Berlin/Germany Edition Course Number REMU-UT 9817 D01 Spring 2019 Syllabus last updated on: 2​3-Dec-2018 Lecturer Contact Information Course Details Wednesdays, 6:15pm to 7:30pm (14 weeks) Location NYU Berlin Academic Center, Room BLAC 101 Prerequisites No pre-requisites Units earned 2 credits Course Description A classic album is one that has been deemed by many —or even just a select influential few — as a standard bearer within or without its genre. In this class—a companion to the Classic Albums class offered in New York—we will look and listen at a selection of classic albums recorded in Berlin, or recorded in Germany more broadly, and how the city/country shaped them – from David Bowie's famous Berlin trilogy from 1977 – 79 to Ricardo Villalobos' minimal house masterpiece Alcachofa. We will deconstruct the music and production of these albums, ​ ​ putting them in full social and political context and exploring the range of reasons why they have garnered classic status. Artists, producers and engineers involved in the making of these albums will be invited to discuss their seminal works with the students. Along the way we will also consider the history of German electronic music. We will particularly look at how electronic music developed in Germany before the advent of house and techno in the late 1980s as well as the arrival of Techno, a new musical movement, and new technology in Berlin and Germany in the turbulent years after the Fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, up to the present.

  • Stockhausen's Cosmic Pulses
    Robin Maconie: Stockhausen’s Cosmic Pulses 2009–14 (copyright) 1 Stockhausen’s Cosmic Pulses ROBIN MACONIE Some people chase tornados; others go after black holes. From the late 1950s Stockhausen was fascinated by the idea of sounds in rotation and how to realise them in a technical sense, by means of an array of loudspeakers. Completed in 2007, Cosmic Pulses is Stockhausen’s final electronic composition.1 For a number of reasons I believe the composer knew it would be his last. The work was completed in a rush. In many ways, notably in terms of the sound material, which is very basic, it remains a sketch. The music can be described as a massive rotating sound mass, composed in 24 separately spinning frequency layers. The work thickens gradually to 24 layers, then reduces symmetrically upward in an ascending spiral that ends quite abruptly. An audience may experience the sensation of falling headlong into a black hole, or, if one is an optimist, of being carried aloft on the whirlwind like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. A tornado is an effect of a natural imbalance between temperature layers in the atmosphere, tipped into motion by the earth’s rotation, which moves progressively faster toward the equator. The rotating air mass that results spirals upwards and generates a powerful electrical charge. A black hole by comparison is an effect of gravitation creating an imbalance in spacetime. The rotational process that results spirals downward or inward and leads to the extinction of reality as we know it, or again, if one is an optimist, creates a wormhole leading either into another universe, or into our own universe at Robin Maconie: Stockhausen’s Cosmic Pulses 2009–14 (copyright) 2 another point in time.

When I was composing the work, I had no accessory feelings or thoughts; I knew only that I had to fulfill the mantra. And it demanded itself, it just started blossoming. As it was being constructed through me, I somehow felt that it must be a very true picture of the way the cosmos is constructed, I’ve never worked on a piece before in which I was so sure that every note I was putting down was right. And this was due to the integral systemization - the combination of the scalar idea with the idea of deriving everything from the One. It shines very strongly. - Karlheinz Stockhausen Mantra is a seminal piece of the twentieth century, a pivotal work both in the context of Stockhausen’s compositional development and a tour de force contribution to the canon of music for two pianos. It was written in 1970 in two stages: the formal skeleton was conceived in Osaka, Japan (May 1 – June 20, 1970) and the remaining work was completed in Kürten, Germany (July 10 – August 18, 1970).

Zwar war Stockhausen selbst ein Teil der westdeutschen musikalischen Avantgarde nach 1945 und prägte daher zahlreiche Neuerungen der hiesigen damaligen Musikgeschich- te, – hier sind serielle Techniken ebenso wie die künstliche Tonerzeu- gung mit Studiotechnik erwähnenswert, – endgültig verpflichtet bliebt er jedoch keinem der dort erprobten Ansätze und verband die gewon- nenen Anregungen

  • Stockhausen Concerts and Classes for Clarinettists and Others. Clarinettists Have Reason to Be Very Happy with the Development
    Stockhausen concerts and classes for clarinettists and others. Clarinettists have reason to be very happy with the development of their repertoire in de 20th century, as it had a previously unseen growth. One of the main figures of post war new music has been Karlheinz Stockhausen (1928-2007). This often controversial composer has enriched clarinet literature with an unprecedented number of works for clarinet, bassethorn and bass clarinet, especially after 1974. These sometimes demanding pieces, often with theatrical elements, require a specific approach and way of playing, easily underestimated. Stockhausen was well aware of this and started coaching a new generation of players in the 1980’s, in order to pass this tradition of interpretation on to others. In spite of Stockhausen’s compositions having the reputation of being difficult and intellectual (if not quasi-religious), to play, watch and listen to them is generally great fun, and very satisfying to work on - if done well. Because the music calls on many apects of performing (e.g. fysical and mental attitude on stage, memory, presentation, awareness of the structure of the music, disciplin) the leaning process has a beneficial influence on performing traditional music too. This series of concerts and courses offers the possibility to watch, listen, study and rehearse a number of Stockhausen’s works with Michel Marang, a clarinettist who worked with the composer since 1986 and performed his music hundreds of times worldwide. The course can have the character of an introductory lecture and concert, but eventually may result in seminars over a longer stretch of time, as much as needed to bring specific works on concert level.

Słowa te wypowiedział Karlheinz Stockhausen w czasie Seminarium Kompozytorskiego Letnich Kursów Muzy- ki Stockhausena w Kürten w 2005 r. Zdaniem Agnieszki Draus właśnie ta wypowiedź oraz „zjawisko sakralizacji własnego życia” (życia Stockhausena) inspirują do ba- dania i podjęcia próby wielokontekstowej interpretacji ostatnich dzieł kompozytora, jego – jak powszechnie się określa – opus vitae, czyli siedmioczęściowego cyklu sce- nicznego Licht.
