What to Expect: Welcome to KLANG! There is a lot happening today, so we recommend you take a quick look at this packet to orient yourself. Inside you will find the schedule and location of performances, the schedule and location of talks, interviews, and Q&As, and a guide to all amenities that will be available as you navigate this marathon. First, let’s start with the rules. The day is broken up into four sections. You may have purchased a ticket for just one section, or you may have purchased an all-day pass. Either way, please familiarize yourself with the rules for each section, as each is a distinctly different experience. Elizabeth Huston and Analog Arts Present Karlheinz Stockhausen KLANG THE 24 HOURS OF THE DAY PHILADELPHIA, PA • April 7–8, 2018 Welcome to KLANG: At 10 am sharp you will be welcomed by a performance of all three versions of HARMONIEN performed in La Peg, the Theater, and the Studio simultaneously. Feel free to wander between the spaces, eventually settling in the Studio for… KLANG up Close (10 am–1 pm): This time period is an opportu- nity to have an intimate concert experience with KLANG. This will take place entirely in the Studio. You’ll see we have a small number of chairs available, which you are welcome to sit in, but we recommend you take the opportunity to sit on the floor near the performers. You are even welcome to lay beneath the piano as it’s being performed, and move between the performances to a new location for a new angle on the concert. Modular KLANG (1 pm–4 pm): Stockhausen used KLANG to ex- plore many angles on the same material. All of the trios are based on the same themes, all of the electro-acoustic solos uti- lize Cosmic Pulses as their accompaniment. Because of this, we are offering this time to view these works in parallel so you can compare the material. You may stay in just the Studio or the Theater, or wander between them. The experience is yours to shape. Please note: this is the ONLY time slot where you are welcome to enter and exit the spaces during performances. At all other times, please be courteous and enter and exit between performances. KLANG Immersion (4 pm–7 pm): A mix between KLANG up Close and KLANG in Concert, this time period showcases some of the most well known parts of KLANG, while still allowing the audi- ence to be up close with the music. Taking place entirely in the Theater, the audience is welcome to sit on stage or in the seats, depending on what makes you the most comfortable. PLEASE NOTE: If you choose to sit on the stage, please keep your cush- ion outside of the taped areas. Performers will need to move through these spaces. Please also give the performers sufficient room. KLANG in Concert (7 pm–Midnight): Featuring Cologne’s En- semble Musikfabrik, Stuart Gerber and Heaven’s Door, Lilac 94, and Christopher Oldfather, this time block is a veritable Who’s Who of contemporary music. The most well-known Hours of KLANG will be showcased in a more “traditional” concert envi- ronment, where stage seating is excluded. This will take place in the Theater.

    15th Hour: ORVONTON for baritone and electronic music

    ORVONTON für Bariton.ORVONTON, ich bin ein Bariton,singe mit COSMIC PULSES Schichten neunzehn zwanzigeinundzwanzig.

    ORVONTON siebtes Superuniversummit dem Zentrum des Milchstraßensternsystems.

    Schicht neunzehn hat dreiundzwanzig Töne als Klangschleife.Beim Grundtempo 3,75 dauert jeder Ton 2 Sekunden,die Schleife also 23 x 2 = 46 Sekunden.Aber das Tempowird in 9 Sequenzen gemäß Mustern von Handmit Accelerandi und Ritardandi variiertSchicht zwanzig hat neunzehn Tönemit Grundtempo zweiKomma neun!

    Zwei Komma fünf Sekunden pro Ton, aber länger oder kürzerje nach

    Ritardando oder Accelerando, undmanchmal plötzlichStillstand.

    Schicht einundzwanzig mit neun Tönen im Grundtempozwei Komma drei, Tondauer drei Komma zwei Sekundendoch: bei den Tempovariationen wird manchmal ein zwölfmalschnelleres

    oder zwölfmal langsameres Tempo erreicht.

    Schleifen neunzehn zwanzig einundzwanzig werdenmitGlissandi

    transponiert nach den Mustern aufwärts oder abwärtsnach Gefühl

    undmit Hand von Kathinka.Variationen ziemlich frei von Dauern und Tonhöhen jederSchicht.

    Ich Bariton in ORVONTON, siebtes Superuniversum,Bariton in ORVONTON.In vierundzwanzig Momenten sing ich diese Erläuterungen

    ORVONTON for baritone.ORVONTON, I am a baritone.I sing with COSMIC PULSES layers nineteen twentytwenty-one.

    ORVONTON seventh superuniversewith the MilkyWay Galaxy as its centre.

    Layer nineteen has twenty-three tones as sound loop.In the basic tempo 3.75 each tone lasts 2 seconds,and therefore the loop lasts 23 x 2 = 46 seconds.But in 9 sequences the tempo is varied manuallywith accelerandi and ritardandi according to patterns.Layer twenty has nineteen tones with a basic tempo of twopoint nine!

    Two point five seconds per tone, but longer or shorteraccording to

    ritardando or accelerando, and sometimes a suddenstand-still.

    Layer twenty-one with nine tones in the basic tempotwo point three, tone duration three point two secondsyet: during the tempo variations sometimes a tempo isreached

    which is twelve times faster or twelve times slower.

    Loops nineteen twenty twenty-one are transposed upwards ordownwards

    with glissandi according to the patterns,intuitively

    andmanually by Kathinka.Variations quite free of durations and pitches of eachlayer.

    I baritone in ORVONTON, seventh superuniverse,baritone in ORVONTON.In twenty-four moments I sing these explanations

  • der Komposition von ORVONTON.Jeder Moment schließt mit einer anderen Tonhöhe, hier mit D.Jeder Moment hat eine eigene Zahl von Tönen in Gruppen,und auf dem letzten Ton jeder Gruppe halte ich länger an.In diesemMoment sind die Gruppen sechs eins fünf zweivier drei.

    Die Tonhöhenmeiner Melodien stammen alle aus dervierundzwanzigtönigen Reihe desWerkes KLANG;nur beginnt jeder Moment mit einem anderen Ton,um gemäß der Zahl der Einsätze auf dem richtigen Tonzu landen.

    Einzelne Töne sind oktavtransponiert, wie zum Beispieldieses C,

    je nach Text mal unten oder oben.

    Allintervalle in der Reihe, vierundzwanzig Töne in 2 Oktavensind wie vierundzwanzig Stunden in Tag und Nacht,und KLANG ist eine Miniwelt in ORVONTON.Zahlen sind zu hören und zu zühlen.In Musik sind alle Töne, Intervalle, Gruppen, Zahlenwie im Superuniversum.ORVONTON ist die Mutter von NEBADON.Unsere Musik ist geformt wie die Sterne des Superuniversumsund auch

    des Universums, unseres Sonnensystems, unseres PlanetenErde.

    Jeder Klang ist ein Universum.Ob er aber schön ist, kannman an den Zahlen nicht erkennen:es bestimmt wer zählt.Vierhundertvierzig Hertz sind weder schön noch häßlich.Schönheit Lebt.Ein paar Orvontöner kennen schöne Zahlen,die mit schöner Kunst gespielt werden:Zahlen-Tonkünstler, Baritöner.

    Kunstmusik ist nicht Tingeltangel,ihre Zahlenspiele brauchen ab und zu Momente fürs Gemüt,die ergreifen, staunen lassen:Zeit steht still.

    of the composition of ORVONTON.Eachmoment closes with a different pitch, here with D.Eachmoment has its own number of tones in groups,and on the last tone of each group I halt for awhile.In this moment the groups are six one five twofour three.

    The pitches of mymelodies all originate from thetwenty-four-tone row of the work KLANG;but every moment begins with a different tone,in order to land on the right tone, according to the number ofentries.

    Individual tones are transposed an octave, as for examplethis C,

    up or down according to the text.

    All intervals in the row, twenty-four tones in 2 octavesare like twenty-four hours in day and night,and KLANG is a mini-world in ORVONTON.Numbers are to be heard and to be counted.In music all tones, intervals, groups, numbersare like in the superuniverse.ORVONTON is the mother of NEBADON.Our music is formed like the stars of the superuniverseand also

    of the universe, of our solar system, of our planetEarth.

    Each sound is a universe.But one cannot tell if it is beautiful by the numbers:that depends on who is counting.Four hundred and forty hertz is neither beautiful nor ugly.Beauty lives.A few Orvontonians know beautiful numbers,that are played with beautiful art:number-musicians, baritoners.

    Art music is not honky-tonk,its number games needmoments now and then for the soul,that touch, astonish:time stands still.
