芥末日记

12月。上回是圣诞前后，Derek Bailey。

電子音樂先驅、被譽為20世紀最重要作曲家之一的德國作曲家施托克豪森（Karlheinz Stockhausen），周三在德國科隆家中病世，享年79歲。

施氏被視為華格勒之後最偉大的德國作曲家，在60及70年代以電子音樂成名，他一生曾作曲300餘首，影響先鋒派及古典音樂的發展。披頭四也是他氏 的擁躉，其肖像曾出現在樂隊的唱片封套上。施氏也曾捲入政治爭議，他曾說由魔鬼創造的九一一 襲擊，是一件「最偉大的藝術品」，遭到批評。

PRESS RELEASE
The composer Karlheinz Stockhausen died on December 5th 2007 at his home in
Kuerten-Kettenberg and will be buried in the Waldfriedhof (forest cemetery)
in Kuerten.
He composed 362 individually performable works. The works which were
composed until 1969 are published by Universal Edition in Vienna, and all
works since then are published by the Stockhausen-Verlag. Numerous texts by
Stockhausen and about his works have been published by the Stockhausen
Foundation for Music.
Suzanne Stephens and Kathinka Pasveer, who have performed many of his works
and, together with him, have taken care of the scores, compact discs, books,
films, flowers, shrubs, and trees will continue to disseminate his work
throughout the world, as prescribed in the statutes of the Stockhausen
Foundation for Music, of which they are executive board members.
Stockhausen always said that GOD gave birth to him and calls him home.
****
for love is stronger than death.
IN FRIENDSHIP and gratitude for everything that he has given to us
personally and to humanity through his love and his music, we bid FAREWELL
to Karlheinz Stockhausen, who lived to bring celestial music to humans, and
human music to the celestial beings, so that Man may listen to GOD and GOD
may hear His children.
On December 5th he ascended with JOY through HEAVEN’S DOOR, in order to
continue to compose in PARADISE with COSMIC PULSES in eternal HARMONY, as he
had always hoped to do: You, who summon me to Heaven, Eva, Mikael and Maria,
let me eternally compose music for Heaven’s Father-Mother, GOD creator of
Cosmic Music.
May Saint Michael, together with Heaven’s musicians in ANGEL PROCESSIONS and
INVISIBLE CHOIRS welcome him with a fitting musical GREETING.
On behalf of him and following his example, we will endeavor to continue to
protect the music.
Suzanne Stephens and Kathinka Pasveer
in the name of the world-wide family of musicians who love him, together
with everyone who loves his music.
****
On Thursday, December 13th 2007, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. it will be possible
