███▓ ▄▄▀▀
███▓ ▓█▌
███▓ ▓█▀
███▓ When the history book is written on the ▓█
███▓ minimalist scene that emerged in the 1960s, ▓█
███▓ itÆs likely that composer Steve Reich will ▓█
███▓ emerge as the most influential figure. ▓█
███▓ Certainly artists including Philip Glass and ▓█
███▓ Terry Riley have made extremely significant ▓█
███▓ contributions to contemporary classical music ▓█
███▓ and have evolved, like Reich, beyond the ▓█
███▓ inherent constraints of the genre. But ReichÆs ▓█
███▓ influence can be felt in music by artists as ▓█
███▓ diverse as German bassist Eberhard Weber, ▓█
███▓ guitar legend Pat Metheny and British ▓█
███▓ progressive rock groups Soft Machine and Gentle ▓█
███▓ Giant. Even Mike OldfieldÆs classic Tubular ▓█
███▓ Bells had considerable precedent in ReichÆs ▓█
███▓ work. ▓█
███▓ ▓█
███▓ Reich turns 70 on October 3, 2006, and itÆs ▓█
███▓ rightfully being touted as a major event, with ▓█
███▓ celebrations planned in both New York and ▓█
███▓ London. And while Nonesuch Records released a ▓█
███▓ now out-of-print ten-CD set, Steve Reich: ▓█
███▓ 1965-1995 in 1997, to commemorate ReichÆs 70th ▓█
███▓ theyÆve released a five-CD set called Phases: A ▓█
███▓ Nonesuch Retrospective. It may be less ▓█
███▓ completely comprehensive than its predecessor, ▓█
███▓ but is a terrific place to start, with largely ▓█
███▓ recent recordings of works spanning ReichÆs ▓█
███▓ entire career, from 1965Æs ôCome Outö to 2005Æs ▓█
███▓ ôYou Are (Variations).ö What becomes clear, ▓█
███▓ when making oneÆs way through the nearly six ▓█
███▓ hours of music that is not arranged in any kind ▓█
███▓ of chronological order, is how much has ▓█
███▓ changedàand how much has stayed the same. ▓█
███▓ ▓█
███▓ From ReichÆs first ôhappy accidentöùwhere he ▓█
███▓ had two tapes of a Pentacostal preacher ▓█
███▓ shouting ôIt ainÆt gonna rain!ö running ▓█
███▓ simultaneously but, because the machines were ▓█
███▓ running at slightly different speeds, the ▓█
███▓ phrases began to go out of phaseùheÆs been ▓█
███▓ interested in how melody and rhythm can ▓█
███▓ interact. ReichÆs music, more than Glass and ▓█
███▓ Riley, is often a powerfully visceral ▓█
███▓ experience, where one can literally feel oneÆs ▓█
███▓ body being pulled as the interlaced segments ▓█
███▓ move from background to foreground, and shift ▓█
███▓ in place as new elements are added. ▓█
███▓ ▓█
███▓ While early works like ôMusic for Mallet ▓█
███▓ Instruments, Voices and Organö (1973) ▓█
███▓ established ReichÆs ability to weave hypnotic, ▓█
███▓ long-form compositions that relied heavily on ▓█
███▓ tuned percussion instruments like vibraphone, ▓█
███▓ marimba and glockenspiel, it wasnÆt until Music ▓█
███▓ for 18 Musicians was released by ECM in 1978 ▓█
███▓ that Reich made it onto the radar of a larger ▓█
███▓ listening public. While there are those who ▓█
███▓ consider that recording to be definitive, the ▓█
███▓ fact that it was not possible to experience the ▓█
███▓ entire 56-minute piece as a whole because of ▓█
███▓ the limitations of vinyl makes it ▓█
███▓ less-than-perfect because the critical flow is ▓█
███▓ disrupted half-way through. ▓█
███▓ ▓█
███▓ Since then more than one version has been ▓█
███▓ released on CD, and the Nonesuch version that ▓█
███▓ was originally released in 1998 and appears on ▓█
███▓ the first disc of this box set is certainly as ▓█
███▓ good, if not better, than the original. That a ▓█
███▓ full third of the musicians on the ECM release ▓█
███▓ are still in ReichÆs ensemble today is a ▓█
███▓ testament to both their ability to navigate ▓█
███▓ ReichÆs challenging music and their ongoing ▓█
███▓ interest in a composer who continues to produce ▓█
███▓ marvelous new works like ôYou Are ▓█
███▓ (Variations).ö Reich may be turning 70, but his ▓█
███▓ career is far from over. ▓█
███▓ ▓█
███▓ The box set manages to include almost all of ▓█
███▓ ReichÆs best-known and influential work. ▓█
███▓ ôDrummingö (1971) relies heavily on, no ▓█
███▓ surprise, percussion instruments (tuned and ▓█
███▓ untuned) to evolve its 56-minute, four-movement ▓█
███▓ form. ReichÆs interest in utilizing lyrical ▓█
███▓ fragments in repeated form to act as the ▓█
███▓ foundation for long-form composition is ▓█
███▓ well-represented on the 1994 version of ▓█
███▓ ôTehillimö (1981) and the more advanced ôYou ▓█
███▓ Are (Variations).ö WhatÆs not necessarily ▓█
███▓ evident when listening to these vocal pieces, ▓█
███▓ as well as ôDifferent Trainsö (1988), which ▓█
███▓ features the Kronos Quartet and recordings of ▓█
███▓ voices from before, during and after World War ▓█
███▓ II, is the amount of effort required of Reich ▓█
███▓ to find just the right phrases that would not ▓█
███▓ only work from a rhythmical perspective, but in ▓█
███▓ their actual meaning as well. ôYou Are ▓█
███▓ (Variations)ö works best, with the music ▓█
███▓ integrating perfectly with the phrases that ▓█
███▓ make up the four movements (two in English and ▓█
███▓ two in Hebrew): ôYou are whatever your thoughts ▓█
███▓ areö; ôI place the Eternal before meö; ▓█
███▓ ôExplanations come to an end somewhereö; and, ▓█
███▓ perhaps the most revealing movement, ôSay ▓█
███▓ little and do much.ö ▓█
███▓ ▓█
███▓ The inclusion of a number of ReichÆs ▓█
███▓ ôCounterpointö pieces demonstrates how a single ▓█
███▓ instrument can be layered, creating rhythmic ▓█
███▓ pulses that are often surprising and ▓█
███▓ uncharacteristic. ôNew York Counterpointö ▓█
███▓ (1985) features Bang on a Can clarinetist Evan ▓█
███▓ Ziporyn and ôCello Counterpointö (2003) cellist ▓█
███▓ Maya Beiser. One of the best-known of ReichÆs ▓█
███▓ works is simply the result of the star-power ▓█
███▓ associated with itùthe 1989 recording of ▓█
███▓ ôElectric Counterpointö (1987), featuring the ▓█
███▓ iconic Pat Metheny (who will be performing the ▓█
███▓ piece in New York during the 70th Birthday ▓█
███▓ Celebration). What is remarkable for anyone who ▓█
███▓ is familiar with MethenyÆs workùand he has ▓█
███▓ adapted some of ReichÆs concepts to his own ▓█
███▓ writing, specifically with The Way Up ▓█
███▓ (Nonesuch, 2005)ùis how, despite playing ▓█
███▓ strictly composed parts, it still manages to ▓█
███▓ sound like Metheny. That very fact suggests ▓█
███▓ that, while thereÆs no room for true ▓█
███▓ improvisation in ReichÆs work, the ▓█
███▓ personalities of the musicians involved do make ▓█
███▓ themselves knownùanother reason why, no doubt, ▓█
███▓ Reich continues to work with some of the same ▓█
███▓ musicians again and again over the years. ▓█
███▓ ▓█
███▓ When compiling any retrospective there will ▓█
███▓ always be pieces left off that individual fans ▓█
███▓ think should have been included. Certainly ▓█
███▓ guitarist Dominic Frascaùwhose own album, ▓█
███▓ Deviations (Cantaloupe, 2005) dispenses with ▓█
███▓ all kinds of apparently artificial limitations ▓█
███▓ on the instrumentùand his 2001 version of ▓█
███▓ ôElectric Guitar Phaseö (1967) is an important ▓█
███▓ update to the original, and Alarm Will ▓█
███▓ Sound/OssiaÆs 2000 revision of ôMusic for Large ▓█
███▓ Ensembleö (1977), originally released by ECM in ▓█
███▓ 1980, is a compelling take. But for this ▓█
███▓ surprisingly affordable set, where each disc is ▓█
███▓ chock-a-block with music, clearly some tough ▓█
███▓ decisions had to be made in order to contain ▓█
███▓ the collection within five discs. ▓█
███▓ ▓█
███▓ ThereÆs no new material to be found, and so ▓█
███▓ longtime Reich fans may find themselves in ▓█
███▓ possession of everything contained and more. ▓█
███▓ But for those who are either new to the ▓█
███▓ wonderful world of Reich or havenÆt obtained ▓█
███▓ the lionÆs share of his major works, Phases: A ▓█
███▓ Nonesuch Retrospective is a welcome release ▓█
███▓ that makes it possible to get a comprehensive ▓█
