By this time, he had had several more dreams concerning the piece, including one involving a swarm of bees and a violinist, about which Stockhausen said, The buzzing made by lots of bees is a magic sound to me Schweitzer 2. The Arditti Quartet was to play the premire. After Stockhausen finished his score, it was sent back to Professor Landesmann for criticism. His reaction was positive, as was that of the Director of the Festspiele, Gerard Mortier. A long series of negotiations started with the Festspiele and the Austrian army, who were to lend the helicopters, as well as various TV channels who were airing the piece. In part because of protests by the Austrian Green Party, that it would be absolutely impossible for Austrian air to be polluted by performing this Stockhausen, in the end the planned 1. Stockhausen 2. 00. The first performances of the piece took place in Amsterdam on 2. June 1. 99. 5, as part of the Holland Festival, with Alouette helicopters from the Royal Dutch Air Force display team, The Grasshoppers. The performers were first violinist Irvine Arditti and pilot Marco Oliver second violinist Graeme Jennings and pilot Lieutenant Denis Jans violist Garth Knox and pilot Lieutenant Robert de Lange cellist Rohan de Saram and pilot Captain Erik Boekelman Stockhausen 1. There were three performances given, at the Westergasfabriek, after two test flights at the same location the day before, and several earlier at an airfield in Deelen for the purpose of trying out the microphones Stockhausen 2. Following these performances, Stockhausen revised the score, adding about three minutes of material near the end, just before the descent, increasing the overall duration from about 2.

Compositionedit. Jennymay Logan, second violin, Elysian Quartet, in the Birmingham Opera production of Mittwoch aus Licht, Argyle Works, Digbeth, Birmingham, 2. August 2. 01. 2The Licht cycleas a whole and in all of its partsis serially composed, being based upon a three layered superformula. This design principle is an extension of the series based techniques Stockhausen developed at the beginning of the 1. Stockhausen himself has repeatedly called attention in his theoretical explanations Misch 2. The Quartet is based on a short portion of the Eve layer from the Wednesday segment of the superformula DFG. After the initial ascent, there are three iterations of the three voiced superformula, each time distributed among the four instruments, and each time with the Michael, Eve, and Lucifer lines in a different vertical arrangement. The superformula as a whole is successively transposed so that the Eve layer begins each time with the corresponding pitch from the helicopter segment DFG Shimizu 2. The durations of the three statements of the triple formula are also determined by the rhythms of the small helicopter segment Stockhausen 2. More general traits found in the work are also characteristic of the serial fabric of Stockhausens music. For example, the interpenetration of macro and micro dimensions, found in earlier compositions such as Kontakte, where Stockhausen compresses rhythm into pitch, or in Hymnen, where he slows down the sound of geese until they are revealed as the shouts of a football crowd. The violin tremolos here and also in Mittwochs preceding scene, Orchester Finalisten, invoke the sound of a buzzing mosquito, so what the composer is also saying is that the mosquito is also a tiny helicopter, and the connection between the two is being made by the violin Maconie 2. Another is the way in which the scenic character of the Helicopter Quartet forms one of four serial variants The first and fourth scenes of the opera represent the idea of communication and cooperation, first when World Parliamentarians meet to debate the topic of love, and then when interplanetary delegates consider cosmic problems, while the second scene and this one revolve around the idea of community music making Misch 2. A third serial principle is the integration of distinct elements into a whole. Game Barbie As Rapunzel A Creative Adventure. This was expressed by Stockhausen in a text written in 1. Evidently, self contemplation and the awareness of a universal, planned order exist today more than ever. With this comes the desire to give the individual tone a very specific sense that transcends momentary saturation and the merely impulsive play of organization and combination a sense, that is, of music as a representation of that comprehensive global structure in which everything is integrated. Stockhausen 1. 96. In Licht generally this is seen in scenic contexts that are not tied to a single, linear, teleological narrative, but as the compositional events in multi dimensional, process independent, run in folding, intersecting, or parallel layers and yet are held together by the principle of uniformity Misch 2. In the Helicopter Quartet in particular this is manifested spatially, as the physical separation of the players from the audience and among themselves, circling in the sky in four different helicopters, is overcome through the use of audio visual equipment, so that only when transmitted via television screens and loudspeakers in the concert hall do the four layered musical events fit together into a unified whole Misch 2.
