Works for ensemble
Stockhausen Complete Edition on CD
Since 1991, a complete edition of all recordings in which Karlheinz Stockhausen has personally participated is being released on compact discs. Each CD in this series is identified by Stockhausen's signature followed by an encircled number. The numbers indicate the general historical order of the works.
Stockhausen realised the electronic music and participated in these recordings as conductor, performer, sound projectionist, and musical director. He personally mixed down the recordings, mastered them for CDs, wrote the texts and drew the covers.
- The compact discs may be obtained from the Stockhausen-Verlag: Kettenberg 15, 51515 Kuerten, Germany (www.stockhausenCDs.com).
Karlheinz Stockhausen
Works for ensemble (2 players or more)
(Among these works for more than 18 players which are usually not performed by orchestras, but rather by chamber ensembles such as the London Sinfonietta, the Ensemble Intercontemporain, the Asko Ensemble, or Ensemble Modern.)
All works which were composed until 1969 (work numbers 1/11 to 29) are published by Universal Edition in Vienna, with the exception of ETUDE, Electronic STUDIES I and II, GESANG DER JÜNGLINGE, KONTAKTE, MOMENTE, and HYMNEN, which are published since 1993 by the Stockhausen-Verlag, and the renewed compositions 3x REFRAIN 2000,
MIXTURE 2003, STOP and START.
Starting with work number 30, all compositions are published by the Stockhausen-Verlag, Kettenberg 15, 51515 Kürten, Germany, and may be ordered directly.
[9'21"] = duration of 9 minutes and 21 seconds (durations with minutes and seconds: CD durations of the Complete Edition).
U. E. = Universal Edition.
St. = Stockhausen-Verlag.
For most of the works, an electro-acoustic installation is indicated. Detailed information about the required equipment may be found in the scores.
In very small halls (for less than 100 people), it is possible to omit the amplification of some works for small ensembles. However, it must be taken into account that since 1970 Stockhausen also amplifies his PIANO PIECES, for example, in concerts (using 2 microphones) to make the timbre nuances audible from all seats in the auditorium, if at all possible.
In the scores of numerous works, exact instructions for the set-up of the instruments, the gestures and movements of the interpreters, for the lighting, props, costumes and podia are given. These are not mentioned in the following list.
Special microphones and receivers (not listed) belong to the transmitters indicated.
Abbreviations
cond. = conductor; only the works with this indication are conducted.
micr. = microphone(s).
loudsp. = loudspeakers.
sound proj. = sound projectionist, who also controls the lighting from the mixing console in the hall (see scores).
tape rec. = tape recorder.
