Set Sail for the Sun
This piece, Set Sail for the Sun is by Karlheinz Stockhausen. It is one of the few pieces of his I really know nothing about. I have never seen the score (or, I am guessing, in this case parameters), and do not know anything of its structure besides what I have gleaned from watching this a few times. It is absolutely gorgeous, and can provide for you a welcome respite from Thanksgiving Day festivities.
Enjoy!

Dear Erik,
I was wrong about Cicadas, must have been the connection I was listening to. It's more like one long interminable orchestra tuning.
But I'm always willing to learn, so I'll listen some more and see what happens. Presently gorgeous is not the adjective that springs to mind.
Good to see comments back.
shalom,
Steven
