CDXIX. STOCKHAUSEN, Karlheinz (1928-2007)
The work that turned my 15-year-old head inside-out!
I have a deep feeling for this composition, which I probably share with 1 out of 1,000 folks out there.
If you want to have a profound experience of what the best and most daring of 20th-century music had to offer, here it is.
Region I is dedicated to Pierre Boulez and uses The Internationale and La Marseillaise.
Region II is dedicated to Henri Pousseur and uses the Deutschlandlied and a group of African anthems, the beginning of the Russian anthem, and a fragment of the Horst-Wessel-Lied.
Region III is dedicated to John Cage and uses the continuation of the Russian anthem, The Star-Spangled Banner, and the Marcha Real.
Region IV is dedicated to Luciano Berio and uses the Swiss Psalm.

I personally dedicate Region IV to my old listening buddy, the late great John (Harpo) Whittington.
