On The Musical Form And Structure Of Sound Materials In Karlheinz Stockhausen's Work Sirius

This paper is trying to analyze Karlheinz Stockhausen's electronic music work Sirius from the angle of the musical form and structure of its sound materials. It consists of an introduction, the body, the notes, and the reference, which is divided into two chapters.Chapter One can be best titled as Karlheinz Stockhausen and the electronic music. It gives a brief introduction to the composer Karlheinz Stockhausen and the music style "collage" used in his work Sirius, which paves the way for the following discussion of the form and structure of sound materials in the work.Chapter Two is the main body of the paper, which is about the form and structure of sound materials in the work. This chapter begins with a brief introduction to the work Sirius, and then analyzes four original melodies composing the whole work Sirius. Furthermore, it discusses how the composer used these four melodies to compose Sirius and the acoustical material relations of the structure of the whole work in the concrete music and the electronic music (take CANCER as an example). Finally, to the whole work SIRIUS, it analyzes the logical relations of the sound form and structure as the macroscopic entire structure.The whole paper not only makes an analysis from the aspect of the microcosmic acoustics materials, but also emphatically expounds the relation between the acoustics materials of electronic music and the traditional acoustics instruments (man's sound). In addition, another important element constituted to music is also involved—the space of sound.
