This three-volume work is the most comprehensive study ever undertaken, of the musical compositions of Karlheinz Stockhausen (1928–2007), one of the major figures of Post-World War II classical music in Europe. Stockhausen’s impact on global music-making was huge and he has been influential for a wide range of music makers in classical music and on music creators in various popular music traditions. Flo Menezes provides both in-depth analytical studies of Stockhausen’s works from his entire career and also places these into broader cultural, technological, political contexts. The three volumes address the three most fundamental phases of Stockhausen's work: Serial Music, Intuitive Music, and Music by Formulas.
Flo Menezes is a Full Professor at the São Paulo State University (Unesp), Brazil. He studied composing at the University of São Paulo as well as the Studio fur Elektronische Musik in Cologne, Germany. He specialized at Centro di Sonologia Computazionale of Padua, Italy, completed his doctorate in Belgium in 1992 on Luciano Berio, under the supervision of Henri Pousseur, and postdoctoral fellow at the Paul Sacher Foundation. At Stockhausen's invitation, he taught analysis at the Kürten Courses in Germany. As a composer, his works have been performed by leading ensembles and orchestras around the world and he has received many awards for composition, including the Prix Ars Electronica, Austria (1995) and Giga-Hertz-Preis of Karlsruhe/Freiburg, Germany (2007), with Pierre Boulez and Wolfgang Rihm on the jury.
