Karlheinz Stockhausen
Kommunion / Intensität (Aus Den Sieben Tagen / From The Seven Days / Venu Des Sept Jours)

Album DE 1972 on Deutsche Grammophon label
Electronic and Classical (Contemporary, Experimental)

In the cycle of compositions "From The Seven Days" written in May 1968, Communion and Intensity (both May 9th 1968) are the eleventh and ninth text respectively. Twelve titles were recorded for the Westdeutscher Rundfunk Cologne from the 26th to the 31st of August 1969 with eleven musicians -each title with a different instrumentation- in the Georg-Moller-Haus (a masonic lodge) in Darmstadt and subsequently performed in six public seminars from the 1st to the 4th of September 1969 in the Sporthalle am Böllenfalltor during the International Courses for New Music. "Communion (for ensemble) was recorded twice on the 27th of August 1969 between 6 and 8 p.m. and i selected the second, shorter, version (16 minutes, 25 seconds) for broadcasts and a gramophone record. This text had never been played or reheased previously. One must not forget, however, that six of the eight players had intensively tried out the text Connection, which is formulated similarly, three months earlier during quite lengthy gramophone recordings... Intensity (for ensemble) was recorded once on August 29th 1969 at 11.10 a.m. without previous rehearsal or discussion, listened to directly afterwards and found to be satisfactory (duration 30 minutes, 40 seconds)..." "From The Seven Days" printed by Universal Edition, Vienna Printed in Germany by Gebrüder Jänecke, Hannover Includes a single-sided insert with liner notes in German and French. --- Michel Portal is credited with Saxophone, Flute, Piano on rear cover and labels. Only the liner notes mention his Clarinet credits, which appears to be correct. Also an "anonymous" (Anonym) is credited for trombone, but it's actually Vinko Globokar.
