Tierkreis (Stockhausen)
''Tierkreis'' (1974–75) is a musical composition by the German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen. The title is the German word for Zodiac, and the composition consists of twelve melodies, each representing one sign of the zodiac.
==History==
Described by one early critic as "melodic naïveté" in the form of "cheerful, empty-headed little tune()" , ''Tierkreis'' has proved to be Stockhausen's most popular composition (; ; ). ''Tierkreis'' was originally written for music boxes as a component part of a theater piece for percussion sextet titled ''Musik im Bauch'' (Music in the Belly), which has been interpreted variously as "a fairy tale for children" or else as "a ritual played out in Mexican Indian scenery" . These twelve melodies (with or without their accompaniments) form an autonomous work which can be played by any suitable instrument, and exist also in versions to be sung. The striking simplicity of the melodies has led some writers to see them (together with other of Stockhausen's works from after 1966) as precursors of the German New Simplicity movement that began in the late 1970s (; ).
On the initiative of the Committee for Art and Culture of the City Council of Cologne, from 6 July 2009 the melody from ''Tierkreis'' corresponding to the current Zodiac sign is played daily at noon on the newly restored 48-bell carillon in the tower of the Cologne Town Hall, as a tribute to the composer. Bert Augustus, a campanologist from the Dutch company Royal Eijsbouts programmed the melodies on a computer, with the collaboration of Suzanne Stephens and Kathinka Pasveer of the Stockhausen Foundation for Music (; ).
