In that spirit, I'll detail some broad strokes before going over the structural stuff. Actually for most people it may be more fun to just listen without knowing the theoretical structures underneath it. Like MANTRA, ZYKLUS has lots of underlying theory which is not easy to hear when just listening to it (especially without the score). Sadly, it seems the competition performance of ZYKLUS didn't actually win the contest, but it was still the first major composition for a soloist on multiple percussion instruments (13 in all). In fact MITTWOCH AUS LICHT's 2nd Act is titled ORCHESTRE FINALISTEN (Orchestra Finalists). This kind of opportunity to write for would-be virtuosos to prove themselves would pop up from time to time, even up to 1997's KLAVIERSTUCKE XVII, written for the Micheli Competition (and derived from part of FREITAG AUS LICHT). Stockhausen wrote ZYKLUS for solo percussionists to use as a music competition piece, specifically for the Kranichstein Music Competition in 1959. (Cycle) for solo percussionist (snare drum, hi-hat, triangle, vibraphone, gongs, güiro, marimba, bells, tom-tom drums, etc.) ![]() Composed by Karlheinz Stockhausen (1928-2007). Scores 2 Tumbas or Congas, 3 Percussionists (6 Tom-Toms, 4 Cymbals), Bass Clarinet, Oboe, Piano (Woodblock) Fur Oboe, Bassklarinette, Klavier Und Drei Schlagzeuger.
