ABOUT STEVE REICH
|
|
In the 1960s, Reich emerged as a central figure in the
compositional movement that has been called minimalism. His music, often characterized
by repeated pulsing rhythms developed and juxtaposed in ever-changing ways, has been
a fixture of the American musical scene and an influence on generations of composers
even as Reich’s own techniques have continued to evolve.
