The spring flowers in the leaves below the aspen trees the Anemone Hepaticas each one of them a version of a concept of the spiritual creativity of the flowing forces of the universe! Stockhausens music is charged and loaded with meaning intentional but also unintentional, amassed there by a spirit so creative and sparkling with ideas that most of the significance is stacked away inside the compositions until brought out by especially gifted interpreters and certainly also by gifted listeners! See the rays of light emitted by a diamond on display, slowly rotating each cut surface rendering a different aspect on beauty and light, color and the essence of perfection! There is a meaning and a content hidden in every aspect of this walk of life, and we have to see, touch, smell ponder! Like Bob Dylan said in his song All Along the Watchtower : Businessmen, they drink my wine, ploughmen dig my earth, but none of them along the line knows what any of it is worth .
It has to do with how we treat ourselves in this belvedere we call life, and how we greet the day. Stockhausens music in its many versions appears to me like an aspen-slope of a Scandinavian April day, when the brisk and chilly breeze clears the air and blows yesteryears brownish-grayish leaves away, exposing the clear blue upturned petal faces of the flocks of Anemone Hepatica, once again meekly demonstrating the botanic poetry of sunshine, air and water brought together in the utmost expression of spiritual force, for anyone with eyes and an open mind to enjoy and contemplate. There is no way you can exhaust this musics inherent goldmine of musical and existential aspects through one version and one version alone.
There is a richness of expression hidden inside these works, which has to bloom in different instrumental and interpretational guises for it to realize its own charged splendor. The magic of these and other works by Stockhausen is their inherent possibility - and even craving for new interpretations. The most extensive version of Tierkreis to date is Stockhausens composition Sirius ( Stockhausen Edition Volume 26 ). Oberlippentanz is part of Scene 3 Luzifers Tanz - out of Samstag aus Licht ( Stockhausen Edition Volume 34 ), and Tierkreis was originally composed for 12 music boxes as part of Musik im Bauch ( Stockhausen Edition Volume 24 ). This CD in part contains works that have been recorded in different instrumental versions over the years, like Oberlippentanz and Tierkreis .
