Available on CD as a whole are (at least) "Dienstag aus Licht" (my
favourite), "Donnerstag aus Licht" and "Samstag aus Licht". Yes, the
whole cycle (more than 29 hours of highbrow psychedelic music) is
structured into seven pieces following the week's single days.
Stockhausen found the inspiration for "Licht" in the early 1970s when he
experienced a state of deep trance in front of a Zen temple in Japan.
