Tierkreis, for 12 music boxes or ensemble +••.••(...)) I. Aquarius II. Pisces III. Aries IV. Taurus V. Gemini VI. Cancer VII. Leo VIII. Virgo IX. Libra X. Scorpio XI. Sagittarius XII. Capricorn Peter Söderberg & Sven Åberg, lutes Karlheinz Stockhausen's Tierkreis (Zodiac) is excerpted from his 1975 work Musik im Bauch (Music in the Breast) for six percussionists and music boxes. Musik im Bauch is a musical "fairy tale" with stage action and minimal plot; its nostalgic naivete recalls the theater piece Herbstmusik (1974). In Tierkreis, the twelve signs of the zodiac are represented by melodies (or, more precisely, complex musical formulae expressed in several voices with specified tempos) on one of twelve music boxes. For the instrumental version of the work, Stockhausen made transcriptions of the music box melodies; a characteristic scoring includes clarinet, flute, trumpet, and piano, though any number of similar combinations is allowed. In the instrumental version(s) of the work, timbral effects, dynamics, and other parameters become part of the larger formula of each zodiac sign's music. The music itself is unexpectedly melodic, tonally centered, and even "pretty" in ways that are unexpected given the composer's earlier music. Stockhausen carefully considered the characteristics of each sign and each month of the year, as well as the personalities of people he knew were born under a particular sign, in composing this work. Tierkreis presages very directly the work with musical and character archetypes Stockhausen eventually undertook in his opera cycle Licht. Tierkreis is also the basis for the much more complex and extended Sirius (1977) for electronics and ensemble. [allmusic.com] Art by Milton Resnick
Karlheinz Stockhausen Suzanne Stephens Lorber 1974 1975 1977 1980
Sirius, for trumpet, soprano, bass clarinet, bass & electronics +••.••(...)) I. Vorstellung (Presentation) II. Cancer III. Libra IV. Capricorn V. Aries VI. Brücke nach Aries (Bridge after Aries) VII. Verkündigung (Annunciation) Boris Carmeli, bass Annette Meriweather, soprano Markus Stockhausen, trumpet Suzanne Stephens, bass clarinet Karlheinz Stockhausen Sirius is Number 43 in the composer's catalog of works, and consists of three main parts: "Presentation", "The Wheel" (subdivided into four sections, corresponding to the four seasons), and "Annunciation". The words were written by Stockhausen, except for a text by Jakob Lorber used in the Annunciation. The musical material consists of the twelve zodiac melodies of Tierkreis, Nr. 41½ +••.••(...)), originally composed for music boxes in connection with the percussion sextet Musik im Bauch (Music in the Belly), Nr. 41 (1975). Four of these melodies are principal, each associated with one of the protagonists, and are subjected to a variety of transformations, not merely by superimposition even of metamorphosis through a system of cross-fertilization processes in which "one melody progressively assumes the features of another, as a series of mists and frosts 'borrowed' from winter will gradually transform the autumnal aspect of October from summer nostalgia into winter foreboding". The remaining eight melodies serve a subsidiary role. In the Presentation, the four characters introduce themselves and their attributes. They are: North (bass): Earth, Man, Night, Winter, Seed East (trumpet): Fire, Youth, Morning, Spring, Bud South (soprano): Water, Woman, Midday, Summer, Blossom West (bass clarinet): Air, Friend/Beloved, Evening, Autumn, Fruit. The main, central "wheel" lasts over an hour, and can be rotated, according to the season of the performance, to produce four different forms: Winter version, beginning with "Capricorn" Spring version, beginning with "Aries" Summer version, beginning with "Cancer" Autumn version, beginning with "Libra". The total duration of Sirius is 96 minutes. The eight-channel electronic music was realized in the Electronic Music Studio of WDR, Cologne in 1975-77, using an EMS Synthi 100 synthesizer. The electronic music can be performed by itself, without the four soloists, and there are also three excerpted versions, each for a soloist with a specially prepared version of the electronic music: Aries, for trumpet (Nr. 43½, 1980), Libra, for bass clarinet (Nr. 43⅔), and Capricorn, for bass voice (Nr. 43¾).
