Steve Reich Homepage Biography Writings and Articles 'Close your eyes and see'... ... Links Photo: John Halpern From here on Reich used augmentation, diminution and sudden as opposed to gradual phase changes in works like Music for Mallet Instruments, Voices and Organ, Clapping Music (born out of the desire to perform a piece needing only the human body to be present) Six Pianos and Music for Pieces of Wood. All these pieces explore the repeated phrase or pattern played out of phase by different players thus producing the rhythmic ambiguity of 'where the one is' and changes the perception of what is not actually changing. It is this aspect which has characterised this music throughout. From 1973, Reich concentrated on writing for larger ensembles. These included Music for a Large Ensemble (funnily enough!), Variations for Wind, Strings and Keyboards and perhaps most importantly of all Music for 18 Musicians. This piece was a major turning point as it had many more harmonic and melodic changes that happened much quicker than in his previous music and included strings, voices and wind instruments as well as the usual mallet percussion and pianos. The late 70s and early 80s saw an even greater pull away from the repeated patterns and slowly changing harmonies to more energetic and elaborate melodic writing in pieces like Tehillim and The Desert Music where text now plays an integral role. In particular, The Desert Music is Reich's first large scale orchestral and choral work needing around 100 players to realise the full orchestral version (there is a scaled down chamber version which includes a smaller chorus and keyboards). Different Trains written in 1988 for string quartet and sampled speech recordings is another key work as it looks backwards by using speech (as in Its Gonna Rain) to generate musical material as well as looking forward by using digital samples of speech.

ESTWeb Main Index ESTWeb Articles Index References Brief Biography of Steve Reich This article originally appeared in EST #3, and also appears in slightly different form in Roger Sutherland's book, New Perspectives in Music Steve Reich by Roger Sutherland "Systems Music" is a term which has been used to describe the work of composers who concern themselves with sound continuums which evolve gradually, often over very long periods of time. The most well-known of these composers are Steve Reich, Philip Glass, and La Monte Young. The most striking feature of their work is repetitiveness or stasis. Their works contain little or no variation of pitch, tempo, dynamics or timbre. Certainly, their work exhibits virtually none of the characteristic concerns of traditional Western music, such as harmonic movement, key modulation or thematic development. Four Organs where a single chord is gradually stretched out to a duration of several minutes. Systems composers appear to have worked largely outside the mainstreams of both European and American music, drawing inspiration instead from various ethnic musical forms - Ghanian and Balinese music in Reich's case, Japanese Gagaku in the case of Young. Many other influences can be discerned. Such non-Western musical forms, as Young has observed , involve stasis in contrast to climax or directionality. But systems music also relates to some aspects of contemporary Western music. Young has cited the "unchanging chord" in Schoenberg's

Also influenced by John Cage , he began to create experimental works in the 1960s, showing an interest in electronic and tape-recorded elements. By the late 1960s, he was composing works based on the almost hypnotic repetition of short modular units of minutely changing chords, tonal progressions, chiming timbres, and steady rhythms. He also founded his own ensemble in 1966. Having studied drumming in childhood, he has retained an interest in percussion and has incorporated such instruments as the Balinese gamelan and Ghanian tribal drums into his compositions. Voice is also an important component of many of his works. Critics have noted that over the years his works have become both more intimate, freer, and more expansive. Reich's compositions include the film score for Plastic Haircut Drumming Music for 18 Musicians Tehillim Different Trains City Life Proverb Triple Quartet Three Tales (2002), and

October 3, 1936 in New York City), as an early pioneer in tape music and American minimalism, has established himself as one of the foremost composers of our time. Following studies in philosophy at Cornell University (1953-7), Reich turned to composition, first with Vincent Persichetti at Julliard (1958-61), then with Luciano Berio and Darius Milhaud at Mills College (1962-3). His music is characterized by a strong, steady pulse and strictly diatonic and tonal harmonies. He is typically grouped together with other "first generation" minimalist composers such as Philip Glass and La Monte Young, and more recently with younger composers such as

Do you remember what was going on in early tape piece It's Gonna Rain. Do you remember what was going on in your mind as you were writing it? REICH: There were a number of things. I became aware of African music via a composers' conference that was held in 1962 in Ojai, California, when I was still a student of [Luciano] Berio's at Mills College. The class went down to Ojai, and among the various dignitaries was Gunther Schuller, who was writing his history of early jazz. In talking to us, he mentioned that he had wanted to find out what black Americans had done musically before they came to America, and in doing so he had discovered a book. The book was Studies in African Music by A. M. Jones. I went back to the Berkeley Library and got it out. And although I had heard African music before I'd heard records, I knew that it swung, I knew you made it with drums, I knew it was very rhythmic I handn't the faintest idea of how it was made; how it was put together. Seeing this book was quite a revelation for me in terms of seeing a brand new musical technique laid out on paper. DUCKWORTH: What did you see?

Reich was living in San Francisco and often went to Jazz Workshop several times a week to catch the mesmerizing saxophonist, who, it can be said without hyperbole, was playing jazz no one had even imagined and doing so with a single-minded concentration and overwhelming energy that was a spiritual as well as musical statement long before he began adopting specifically religious titles for his compositions. Then back across the bay to the tone-rows, which Reich found increasingly frustrating. On viewing Reich's ostensibly twelve-tone string orchestra piece, Berio went so far as to suggest to his student that if he wanted to write tonal music, he should write tonal music. This may have been his most valuable influence on he young composer, along with providing world-class examples of the kind of music Reich became progressively convinced he did not want to write. In early 1965 Reich also used the ending of Stephan Foster's "Massa's in De Cold Cold Ground" and set a fragment of his "Oh Dem Watermelons" in five-part canon as part of the Mime Troupe's "minstrel show," presented as in illustration of the racial stereotypes implicit in both the original music and the original minstrel shows. Reich's "Oh Dem Watermelons" canon accompanied the projection, in the middle of the minstrel show, of a quick-cut film of the same name by Robert Nelson, featuring watermelons flying into Superman's arms, being smashed, being caressed by a naked woman, etc. It was the middle of the 1960s.

40. Steve Reich- Early Tape Pieces Conversation with Jason Gross which grew out of research for the book OHM The Early Gurus of Electronic Music. Includes photograph. http://www.furious.com/perfect/ohm/reich2.html

Steve Reich: Early tape pieces photo by Betty Freeman Interview by Jason Gross (April 2000) As I was doing research for OHM- THE EARLY GURUS OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC (Ellipsis Arts), I had the pleasure of interviewing many of the composers that were being included in this compilation. While we had chosen "Pendulum Music" to use and were able to get comments from Reich about the piece, he was also generous enough to talk about his early tape pieces also. Though these historic works were not also included in the release, I thought this material was important enough to share with the online world. Thanks to Lee Ranaldo, who pushed me forward to do this. PSF: Where there any earlier tape pieces you heard that influenced your own early works with tapes? Basically, "It's Gonna Rain" was done in '65. At that point, I already studied with (Luciano) Berio. I had listened to a lot electronic music and a lot of musique concrete. I felt that my heart belonged to the musique concrete people. Even with Stockhausen, I was interested in "Gesung der Jungling" because of the boy's voice. The bone I had to pick with (Pierre) Schaeffer and that bunch was that if they were using the sound of a car crash, they had to lower it by an octave or speed it up by an octave, run it through a ring modulator or play it backwards. Why not hear that it's a car crash! These sounds that you're using in the original state have some kind of emotional resonance. We relate to them in various ways. If you bring them into the music, that brings in an emotional, theatrical meaning which is useful. It's worthwhile maintaining and building upon.
