The work's title suggests an impression of overwhelming radiance. The central idea of the composition is the simultaneous layering of five different tempos. These are chosen in various combinations from a scale of seven metronomic tempos: 30, 40, 53.5, 71, 95, 134, and 180 per minute.

This is probably one of his most remarkable conquest, as attested by Bohor (1962) for eight magnetic tape channels, Terrêtektorh (1966) and Nomos Gamma (1969) for an orchestra scattered through the audience, and Persephassa (1969) for six percussion players (the Percussions de Strasbourg) performing in a circle around the listeners. This family of spacialized pieces, all more or less foreign to linearity and temporality, logically tends toward a spectacle in which what is seen is in direct correlation with what is heard, in a single, overall treatment of space. Aside from Persepolis, the polytope for electronic flashes and four recorded orchestras (written for the French Pavillon at the Montreal Exhibition, 1967), Hibiki Hana Ma for twelve magnetic tape channels (written for the laser-beam spectacle in the Japanese Steel Pavillon at the Osaka Exhibition, 1970), and the "Polytope de Clugny" for six hundred flashes, three laser-beams, and seven magnetic tape channels (written for the Paris Autumn Festival, 1972) have been the main signposts in this investigation. Commissioned by the Fifth International Arts Festival of Chiraz-Persepolis (Iran), Persepolis was given its first performance on August 26, 1971. The work lasts fifty-seven minutes and was intended for the eye as much as for the ear : it not only grew out of the site of Persepolis but was even tailored to it and accordingly bears its name. At the first performance, in the grandiose ruins of the Palace of Darius, the public was able to move about inside six listening zones of which was surrounded by eight loudspeakers reconstituting eight differents channels of electro-acoustical music. Fromxenakis the nearby mountain, close to the great tombs, arc-lights shone into the sky, while two lazer-beams restlessly agitated their blood-red rays across the night-dissolved ruins. Then atop the mountain, moving lights were seen, now separating now joining. Two hudge wind-whipped bonfires lit up the chaos of stone. Series of luminous dots traced on the flank of the mountain an irregular geometrical system. In the meantime firely-like pin-points first moved slowly about, outlining the curve of the crest, then suddenly burst, dispersed, and raced down the slope : the entire mountain became a reflection of the star-studded sky. One after the other the electric lights were changes into torches and form against the pitch-black rock the arabesc of Xenakis' phrase : "We bear the light of the earth." Finally, as the apotheosis, one hundred and fifty torch-carrying Shiraz schoolboys ran across the ravine and through the audience to disappear in the forest of columns of the Apadana, and the ruins of Persepolis returned to their mineral silence. Two days later, during a debate, Xenakis the Greek was accused of having reawakened the most painful memory in the minds of Cyrus's descendants : the burning of the Palaces of Persepolis by another Greek, Alexander the Great. Yet the symbols has not been difficult to decipher - above all in the country of Zoroaster, for whom fire and light represent the good and the eternal life. Inspired by the beauty and natural strength of this site pregnant with history, Xenakis had merely turned deliberately toward the future and the youth of the world to let out a tender though violent cry of hope. But as always he had also created an abstract, dense, complex work the sudden power of wich lays siege to the senses as well as to the intellect. Listeners of this record will be able to appreciate this fact for themselves, although here the music is reduce to the elementary proportion of stereopony, but in the process it has not lost its wealth of substance or its prodigious power to bewitch. As Xenakis has said, "this music corresponds to the rock on which hieroglyphic or cuneiform messages were engraved in such a concise, hermetic way that they only give up their secrets to those who wish to read them and learn how to do so."
