CoL49: "'That's by Stockhausen,' the hip greybeard informed her ..." (chapter three)

[Kai Frederik Lorentzen]

As I tried to say: I know from the LICHT cycle (also have it on CD) the 
days Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Also heard parts of the other days 
on the radio; some of it got indeed performed in collaboration with one 
of Stockhausen's sons, Markus, the jazz trumpet player to whom his 
father dedicated several compositions, including a part from "Samstag 
aus Licht". Like Sun Ra, Stockhausen has unfolded a whole cosmology out 
of his beautiful music. It's definitely the straight dope!

Stockhausen is to the 20th century's second half what Schönberg is to 
its first one.

Since it's Thursday, I picked out something from "Donnerstag aus Licht":

Make sure you realize the 'muted post horn' starting at 10.28 ...
