*2022 Stock.* Der Jahreslauf features a pre-Licht work, although this piece would later be reworked as the opening Act to the Licht opera Dienstag aus Licht (on CD 40). Commissioned for Japanese Gagaku orchestra, Der Jahreslauf is essentially Stockhausen's take on the very slow-changing, web-like textures of this ancient ceremonial music form. As the Gagaku orchestra proceeds through various poly-textural wind and string arrangements, several interruptions arrive in the form of comic skits (usually presented aurally by tape). The version recorded here is an adaptation for European instruments (3 harmoniums, 3 piccolo flutes, 3 soprano saxophones, harpsichord, guitar and percussion). The Gagaku version has yet to be released in any official form. Note that the 1993 recording of Jahreslauf on Dienstag aus Licht (the Stockhausen Edition No.40) is a revised and newly-recorded version for use in Licht and uses synthesizer/samplers for some parts, whereas this CD contains the 1979 premier version. - Stockhausenspace.blogspot.com
