WATERFORD NEW MUSIC WEEK 2010
Thursday 11th March at 8pm
STOCKHAUSEN (DOCUMENTARY FILM)
Tickets EU10 available on the door
As part of Waterford New Music Week 2010, this is a rare chance to see a screening of a film documentary on the music of Karlheinz Stockhausen (1928 ? 2007) and a performance of Gesang der Jünglinge (Song of the Youth) which premiered in Cologne cathedral in 1956. Using a revolutionary spatialisation technique, layers of sound are moved around the cathedral from speaker to speaker. The music is based on the recorded voice of a choirboy singing part of the canticles.
"Stockhausen's most original electronic creation and perhaps the most influential electronic piece ever composed" - Alex Ross

by Eric Sweeney
