In the vast Licht (Light) cycle, to which Karlheinz Stockhausen devoted twenty-five years of his life, Monday is the day of Eve. The work, a sumptuous and poetic "musical ceremony in reverence to the mother", celebrates fertility, childbirth and the perpetual rebirth of humanity, as well as the child and the constantly-renewed beauty of the universe.
