Title: Karlheinz Stockhausen's Work: Music: 'Stimmung' at Kresge
Content:
The article discusses a performance of Karlheinz Stockhausen's avant-garde piece "Stimmung." The reviewer, likely a speaker named Karlheinz (though this is likely a humorous mistake), finds it challenging to differentiate between evaluative and explanatory remarks when discussing modern music.
The writer mentions their experience with other works like "Wedgeform Song" in the Fromm concerts at Tanglewood and "Metropolitan Opera" in the Busch-Reisinger Museum. They express confusion about the nature of "Stimmung," suggesting that it might not be what the audience expected, who were likely anticipating a lecture with visual aids.
"Stimmung" is described as a piece for six vocalists, performed by the Collegium Vocale under the direction of Johannes Fritsch. The performance lasts roughly 70 minutes and involves complex vocal techniques. The singers use a variety of "magic names" – gods and goddesses from different cultures – and manipulate vowel sounds and rhythmic patterns.
The reviewer notes the difficulty in understanding and appreciating the work due to its abstract nature, finding it both fascinating and perplexing. They also comment on the performers' ability to stay in tune and keep time without a conductor.
