*2022 Stock. Engel - Prozessionen (Angel Processions), 2nd scene of Sonntag Aus Licht (Sunday from Light) for choir groups. The 1st disc on this 2 CD set contains the complete recording of Engel - Prozessionen, the 2nd Scene from Sonntag Aus Licht (Sunday from Light), performed by the Groot Omroepkoor (Netherlands Radio Choir), and featuring soloists Isolde Siebert, Janet Collins, Hubert Mayer and Andreas Fischer. This scene is structured as 56 short, polyphonic vocal pieces performed by 7 separate vocal sextets, moving around in space (stereo). At the same time, non-featured "Angel Choir" members contribute supportive aleatory textures. A third layer is provided by quiet and distant long tones from a "tutti choir" (large background choir group). With the main vocal sextets, Stockhausen draws from an amazing variety of styles, from baroque/madrigal to "doo-wop" to gospel to "sound poetry". The 2nd disc is a recording of just the background tutti choir harmonies (without the Angel Choir foreground groups), which makes for a somewhat monastic, ambient experience. - Stockhausenspace.blogspot.com
