''Mantra'' is a composition by the German Avant Garde composer Karlheinz Stockhausen , composed in 1970 . Scored for two Ring-modulated Piano s, (each player is also equipped with Crotales and Wood Block s) the piece represents a turning-point in Stockhausen's Music , being the first instance of the technique the composer calls Formula Composition (though the technique was already foreshadowed in the withdrawn '' Formel '' some two decades previously). This technique involves the rotation and expansion of a single Melody -formula, usually stated, as with ''Mantra'', at the outset of the piece. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS |
