Repent and trust in Jesus. He's the only way to Heaven. We've all sinned and deserve Hell. Sins like lying, lusting, etc. Repent and trust only in Jesus, and you will be saved! You can be saved because he took the punishment for our sins on himself when he died on the cross, just like someone can pay your speeding fine in court, and you get off free. Romans 3:23 John 3:16😊

I'm not in any way a musical academic, but I appreciate artists that take risks and try something different, even if it alienates mainstream concepts of what art and music are.
@@ulgophithWhether it sounds good or bad is relative, but there is an art critic in Mexico called Avelina Lesper, and I agree with something she says, she says that if a work completely needs rhetoric or an intermediary to explain to you what it is the work must transmit you, then it is not art.
I agree, but my concern with this music is it’s difficult to tell if someone is serious about music, or doing this to mock avant-garde, and some pretentious people pretend to like it, not knowing they’re being mocked.
Composer: Yeah, can I use four of your helicopters to play a spring quartet? Pilots: Yeah sure, that sounds interesting. Composer: Plays music. Pilots: Get out
To realize the dream Stockhausen uses masses of technology to coordinate his 4 airborne musicians and mix sounds and images live to an audience in the auditorium below. The quartet comes from an opera about communication, equilibrium and moderation (Mittwoch). Peace is VERY appropriate to these themes. In the earlier opera "Dienstag" Stockhausen had represented conflict and war. The helicopters were also said to be suggested to the composer by observing bees in flight on a peaceful summer day.
The electric toothbrush symphony is similarly a fabulously innovative step forward in suprahuman musical achievement. The myriad tonal intricacies induced by 180 toothbrushes and other dental equipment in expert hands is simply breath taking. The slow movement in particular, during which the lone offstage dental drill projects it's eery whine over the filigree of sound is surely one of the most touching and evocative moments of all late 20th century masterpieces.
Mahler7 every single biologic being that was on the helicopter’s route. Music, the sound are waves that reach us in a away that only when we are opened to perception we may be touched in a good or bad way, it doesn’t matter. So Mahler that’s the audience, but also here, almost a million. Tons of light and enlightenment into your life, namaste.
Well to be fair without him. We would not have all the electronic music genres we have today. He was a pioneer making electronic music in the early 50's The first ever in the world! He always explored music where other people don't dare to go. That's why this is art, and that's why he received much critical acclaim.
This is simply an example of how one man's mind hears and creates music. They are all reading his sheet music. I'm surprised so many people are bashing this. I find it beautiful that one can think in this way.
whether or not it is art is not the question. if you are criticizing a work your goal is not to say whether is art or not, it is to decide whether the work speaks to you, you enjoy it and all that. this piece is truly innovative and i admire stockhausen's ideas, but personally i found this piece to be absolutely escrutiating
+LGamesNStuff "These “negative critics” were part of that group he had once described, at a lecture on electronic music in 1972, as those who would fail to evolve as humans. Stockhausen believed that not everyone is equal and that his music would only help some people evolve to the next stage". Found that in an article. I'm quite sure that makes him a pretentious classicist.
This is part of the Opera "Mittwoch" which in the "Licht" Mythology is the day of conference. According to an interview I recently read, Stockhausen said that this represented a future where communication between indivduals in the same ensemble would not be limited by concert halls. The four parts of a quartet playing complex music in harmony and time despite being seperated pointed to a new age of unlimited cooperation between people.
But is it art when you need an explanation like that to understand the message or meaning of a piece? Good musicians, yes but... It sounds more like 'how to get to the headlines of the magazines quickly'
@@fabianhulk9275 Well art doesnt require explanation, you could have thought of this piece for a while and realize that how hard and futuristic it is to play synchronized from far places. It's not rocket science to understand this lol if you're a musician you will realize that this is a pioneer piece for digitally synchronized performances. On the other hand I think the piece is fun to listen, such a playful atmosphere.
@@fabianhulk9275 thank you for enlightening me that art that requires explanation (most art) is not art. I have realized now that Stockhausen is terrible as there is meaning in his work.
If someone is hurting it oftentimes is more comforting to know that someone knows what you're going through than to hear "everything is going to be alright". Writing this kind of music, for me, is my way of doing that. My honesty becomes effectiveness, my humility comes from that immersion, and I subject myself to that darkness out of love for the medium. It may be easier to make people feel those emotions theoretically but it isn't mentally easier, I assure you, but I do it willingly.
I've heard some mistakes by the cello located in the 5th page of the sheet, the 12/19 part, when the 5b becames 4aug. Be more precise, the rest is average. Great work by the helicopters players.
Of course people will have to hear the CD to get into the music, it doesn't grab you as quickly as other Stockhausen but the instruments weave a memorable musical tapestry. The performers are completely synchronised while far apart in space. The counting shows how they are all together in the music while they cannot hear each other at all! This performance was part of a special event that raised 1.5 million Euros for charity, organised by the Austrian "Red Bull" tycoon.
You could play a Stockhausen piece of recording of an owl farting for half an hour to some people and I bet they would still talk about something like "the polyphonic wriggling of the melodic lines" and "passages of dazzling virtuosity"
I'm enjoying this as well. The pieces I enjoy are pieces that accurately emulate my emotions, that means I like works from all over. My goals with my own work is to take an emotion and ask myself "how do I make people understand that emotion?" It's one thing to hear a piece and say, "He's sad his wife died"... it's quite another to have the audience say "I feel like my wife died." That's why I like these late avant-garde guys. They force me to empathize which is at the core of being human.
The real music here is the sound of the helicopter engine. The pilot is an instrumentalist, who controlls the counterpoint, melody, harmony and rythm of the motor with each subtle movement he makes. It used to be called avionics, pilot skill etc, now it's art, music, genius.
I haven't heard this piece in full, but it amuses me -- the sheer grandiosity of it, and of course, to pull this thing off requires great seriousness, and yet, this is a very silly thing to do with helicopters and musicians. I am moved, however, by Stockhausen's relating the dream he had which inspired the piece. I mean, it is a beautiful dream, and he was indulged to make it happen. I wish I could compose a Libretto of all these youtube comments and put the singers on a high wire.
As a sound engineer I must state that there is simply no way, unless the musicians had mics clipped to the bodys of their intruments, that; and other vibrations (sound) could be captured by the mics. The energy (change in air pressure) created by the rotors whould be so huge as to flood everyting else. It would be like listening to a harmonica in a tornado.
Well, this video is stunning, and I realize it's a bit oldish. But I have an important question: is the helicopters' route important for the artwork? Do they have directions on the partitures, like "800 meters high, roll left 15 degrees, pitch down 10 degrees"?
If they helicopter pilots do have instructions from the composer I wonder if they are written on the sheet music and somehow deciphered during the pre-flight brief.
@@mindset-maennchen Just saying i know that a lot of fellow bavarians are still eating it. I also know people from other states that eat it. For example "Saarland".
I attended a Karlheinz Stockhausen concert many years ago. The concerto performed was "Sirius". It was considerably more melodious and pleasing to the ear than this piece. My comment is made in the recognition that he was perhaps intentionally evoking an annoyed and irritated response from the listener, to convey some meaning about helicopters used for war. If you have ever ridden in a helicopter, or rapelled out of, or parachuted out of a helicopter, you love them, not hate them. Now I expect to be called a troll for my opinion.
This piece is not only fun, also it is great fun, and incredible challenge. This is supposed to be dedicated to every astronauts and cosmonauts, and actually it gives such an strong impression of freedom and joy! I suppose not so many people would describe that as "feel good music", but I do.
Although I'm a progressive thinker (I have conservative thinking), I honestly think music did a bit 'devolve' in a way. In certain area's in the past, music got more complex..like a more difficult mathematical formula. This made it less 'catchy' , as it took more listens to get it, but once you got it, it totally made sense and sounded logical and could give shivers. These days most (for example pop) is made to be catchy the first time, to the point it is so predictable it will just bore you
Pop has an exactly defined progression of cords, meaning it is obviously predictable as, in theory, you always know what comes next. That isn't necessarily a bad thing though, as you can find complexity in simplicity. While pop is probably the worst example to support that statement, I personally like to take Debussy's Claire de Lune as an example, it doesn't sound repetitive or anything and yet it is so simple that Debussy always looked down on his creation, he'd probably break something if he heard that it's is most popular piece to date. But who am I talking to anyways you're probably dead or something
No matter what you say, the judgement of music is subjective. It is an art form, so it's merits cannot be measured. No matter how many people agree that Bach was a genius, the matter's fundamental subjectivity will never go away.
Laurence Earnshaw On the other hand is well known fact that there are stupid people out there. The emperor's new clothes in my point of view. Those genius minds are sometimes a bit spiteful that's all. ;-)
Laurence Earnshaw It's more of a sound experience to me than actual music. It doesn't add much to the timber, except the helicopter noise in the background, which for me doesn't make it sound any better but just adds a noise as if the recording had been made with low quality material. I must be stupid because i still don't get what he wanted to do in it.
Having now completed the circle, it has to be said that this complete work, viewed in the context of the rest of "Mittwoch" is just so utterly and gloriously eccentric. The interviews with the Arditti after the premiere performance are wonderful. Stockhausen is clearly having the time of his life.
This is kind of subtly brilliant, if you decide to search for some connections. Man's inventions, his machines, the noises they produce... the noise of a violin is traditionally elegant, the noise of a helicopter: not so. When you attempt to parallel them in a similar fashion... you get an interesting idea about what "music"' is and how man attempts to create and characterize it in relation to sound. I feel like Duchamp would compose a piece like this, if he dabbled in music... Vive Dada!
May I note that the definition of noise is not something absolute, but something relative. Noise is not the opposite of music. Noise is something that someone doesn't want to see,hear etc. What is music to one man, is noise to another. That doesn't automatically define neither music nor noise.
I can well imagine life in a different universe where musical limits - the laws of nature that narrow the range of musical forms that are good for living things to listen to - are fewer or even absent altogether. But we do not live in such a universe or on such a planet. Whether we like it or not, we must live within very strict limits merely to survive. We have to breathe, eat, drink and sleep constantly just to live. And the sooner we accept this, the less we will suffer.
its completely in the mind of the viewer/listener. each to there own. to define what art is, to define what music is, is to destroy what is so beautiful about it!
most of the people can't get to understand this music, this is about experimentation is about searching the music in the deepest places you will get amazed of music if you start to listen it anywhere...this is a great pice of art!
This is awosome!! And i know about what im talking about, im a violinist from mexico, and everyone who think this is not music, are uncultered, if you make a comment, please ivestigate about the postonal theory, about Shoemberg, or something, but please, please have respect with the deceased Karlheinz Stockhausen, he was an excetional person and he know a lot about music, more than everyone who post against him. just please have respect, he was great.
Cage and Stockhausen showed us that new instruments such as kitchen utensils and motorised vehicles can replace the hackneyed old orchestral instruments of the past. Not to mention outdated ideas about excellence, quality and continuity, the aesthetic of beauty and the appreciation of sentiment. Everyone is fed up with that tired limited old way of thinking. How much better the current situation when anyone can create art out of anything and even 9/11 can be thought of as a great work of art !
