PAGE 10 Section THE SUN', BALTIMORE. SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 7. 1971 Music Notes Stockhausen Does The Twist By HAROLD C. SCHONBERG Creativity Film Topic Local Artists To Perform By ELLIOTT W. GALKN Composed of Andrew Dawes Two films exploring man's motives behind the drive to create will be shown at 7 P.M., Wednesday, at the Din-dalk avenue branch of the Enoch Pratt Free Library, Dun-dalk avenue and Bushey street.

"The Towers," describes how Simon Rodilla, an Italian-born tile setter was inspired to build immense structures of broken bottles, shells, pebbes and other materials in the Los Angeles suburb of Watts, where he lived. Also on the program is "Why Man Creates," an Academy Award winner on the human drive to be creative. younger generation of American composers is using electronic music much more colorfully and Imeglnatively. It was interesting to note the derivations in the third of the "Hymnen," the one with orchestra and taped sounds. There was a great deal of Charles Ives in the music.

Stockhausen speaks a lingua Franca; and no matter what his technical contributions mcy be, the actual sound of his music does not have any particular individuality. But the high ideals of "Hymnen" are incontestable. The idea of a supranational musical concept has attracted composers, especially German composers, since Beethoven. Music, however, still has to be listened to as music, end that includes the last movement of Beethoven's Ninth as well as Karlheinz Stockhausen's "Hymnen." And, listen as I can (including listening to tht recording of some of the to the Stockhausen score, I fail to find much that suggests an original musical mind. Stockhausen's originality, rather, is highly pronounced in things outside of music.

Only John Cage, to whom Stockhausen owes a great deal, has a comparable genius for complicating the simple, for throwing a dazzling verbal smokescreen over rather ordinary music, and for twisting things around so that London Bridge is falling up. New York Time) Newt Servie is already composed, without composing. Mix all these instructions. Increasingly accelerate the current of your intuition. Like Modern Beethoven Unlike Hans Werner Henze, he is not a political activist.

Rather he talks about life like a Twentieth Century Beethoven discussing the brotherhood of man. In his program notes to the "Hymnen," which occupied the Philharmonic evening, he writes that he composed the work in an effort "to realize the divine mission of one united world." (Hymnen" means "anthems," and the work uses various national anthems, or fragments thereof, in an extended collage.) To Stockhausen, his "Hymnen" are a "project for the integration of all races, all religions, all nations." Words like those mean a great deal to the younger generation in particular. Young people identify with them and, through the words, with the composer. About the validity of the music there can be some question. Stockhausen is an important technical innovator, and that may be his ultimate place in music history.

Each of the four "Hymnen" had its interesting moments, but each also was too long, essentially humorless, limited in texture, repetitive, wrapped up in the composer, hating to come to an end. I honestly believe that Stockhausen's ear has many limitations. Certainly the New York. The most interesting thing about the Stockhausen program with the New York Philharmonic, the other week, was the audience. Instead of the elderly clientele who dote on their Mozart, Beethoven and Tchaikovsky, there was long hair, miniskirts and hot pants, bearded boys in sweaters and denims, even a suspicious odor that sort of resembled tobacco.

Philharmonic Hall was crawling with kids. It was a kind of audience that the New York Philharmonic has never attracted. They came to hear and see Karlheinz Stockhausen, one of the most prestigious figures in international avant-garde music, and they listened intently to the long program (three hours, with two intermissions), obviously liking what they heard. The avant-garde sounds, which combined tape with live musicians, held no terrors for them. Quite the contrary.

They cheered the composer, cheered the musicians, and were fascinated. At the intermissions, many grouped themselves around the stage apron, looking at and discussing the array of electronic equipment. It was an entirely orderly audience, one of the quietest and most polite in memory-far more considerate, indeed, than its elders at the regular Philharmonic subscription concerts. That there was such a healthy and responsive turnout does not automatically mean that New York youth is aching for contemporary music. The same type of program with a less magic name would not have drawn as much, as sponsors of contemporary music events have learned to their sorrow.

An Idea Man Stockhausen has a charisma that turns the kids on. He excited them in London last year and he seems to be exciting them in New York. With Pierre Boulez he helped shape music in the postwar period, and his ideas were taken up and exploited by many of the international avant-gardists. He is an idea man. Often his ideas are more interesting than his actual music.

And his ideas can be couched in quasi-poetical or mystical or metaphysical terms. Samples: Hide what you compose in what you hear. Cover what you hear. Place something next to what you hear. Place something far away from what you hear.

Support what you hear. Continue for a long time an event you hear. Transform an event until it becomes unrecognizable. Transform an event that you hear into the one you composed last. Compose what you expect to come next.
