To do[edit]

  1. Not yet mentioned: Sextet, Octet, Music for a Large Ensemble, probably others.
  2. The various "counterpoint" pieces - I finally found a recording of Vermont Counterpoint for flute recently (it has also been set for marimba, as Tokyo/Vermont Counterpoint). I know there's also New York Counterpoint, for clarinet.
  3. Some mention of the fact that Reich's work is now entering the repertoire - it's not just Reich who is recording his own works these days.

I saw Reich in concert about twenty years ago, and he gave a talk beforehand. He was enthusiastic about Junior Walker's Shotgun as an early influence - I think because it had a simple bassline which repeated without variation throughout the whole song. He was very dismissive of his work being described as "minimalism", saying there was a trend to name musical developments after contemporary schools of painting and he didn't think the word applied to his music. I've got the programme somewhere, I'll try to find it.

ECM New Series[edit]

(regarding my edit:) ECM New Series launched in 1984 with Arvo Pärt's "Tabula Rasa".[1] The Steve Reich records on ECM came out before the New Series existed, though at some stage (maybe when they released CD versions of the albums) they reissued them under the New Series imprint.
