Karlheinz Stockhausen: XI vom MONTAGs GRUSS aus LICHT Prize-winning performance from the 2013 Stockhausen Courses in Kürten, Germany. Recording begins at 0.48 seconds Score: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vp26fiu5ny92ek8/Stockhausen%3A%20XI%20.pdf?dl=0 Xi as a Greek letter has the meaning "unknown quantity" and in the case of this piece, the "unknown quantity" refers to unknown musical qualities produced as a result of timbre changes and individual variance in realizing the microtonal steps in the score.  The MONDAY-Segment of the musical super-formula for LICHT is comprised of three synchronous formulae, stretched into a melody that subdivides intervals into as many as 7 steps within a minor second. The dominant character of MONDAY is EVE (character) who is represented by melody often presented as gliding melodies or glissando. ​ The lighting and movement are specifically prescribed.  ​
