Yes, thank you! And then, of course, the Hymnen are NOT Stockhausen's
opus magnum. It's the 30-hour-revelation LICHT (= light), which is still,
correct me if I'm wrong, not completely published on CD. Some of it is, 
though. The work is structured along the single days of the week, so it has
seven major parts. My favourite one is "Dienstag aus Licht" (which you can
buyon CD), the following youtube-sample is from "Freitag aus Licht". In the
early 1970s Stockhausen was, all of sudden, blinded by Vision while sitting
in front of a Zen-temple in Japan ... He already saw the whole piece before
his inner magick eye ... It took him 30 years to unfold his vision and he
really came full circle ... Like Sun Ra (with whom he also shares certain
'keyboard arrangements', if this is the right word) Stockhausen developed
a whole cosmology around his Musik, especially in LICHT ~
