Karlheinz Stockhausen Set Sail for the Sun Performed by Salt Lake Electric Ensemble

Be aware that the music begins very quietly and gradually becomes loud.

This piece was inspired by Stockhausen's score "Set Sail For the Sun," which comes from his collection titled "From the Seven Days."

It reads:

Play a tone for so long
until you hear its individual vibrations

hold the tone
and listen to the tones of the others
-to all of them together, not to individual ones-
and slowly move your tone
until you arrive at complete harmony
and the whole sound turns to gold
to pure, gently shimmering fire
