Karlheinz Stockhausen Seen in a Different Light

From NYTimes.com:

The significance of Stockhausen’s major works from the 1950s and ’60s is beyond challenge, and the simpler style he adopted in the 1970s has its advocates. But from 1977 on, Stockhausen was absorbed with two epics steeped in pancultural mysticism: “Licht,” a cycle of seven operas, one for each day of the week, and “Klang,” a 24-part series based on the hours of the day, of which he completed 21 sections before his death.
