Steve Reich's 'Music for 18 Musicians,' performed by Ensemble Modern, is a pulsing exploration of percussion and tone. With chord progressions unfamiliar to most listeners, the rhythm unifies the piece as a whole as well as creating texture for each movement.
Composed over two years beginning in mid-1974, 'Music for 18 Musicians' is similar to the minimalist works of Philip Glass and Terry Riley. Like the works of the other minimalists, Reich's work breaks many rules while maintaining a connection to other musical traditions. While unmistakably modern, Reich's compositional techniques have a lot in common with 12th-century ecclesiastical composer Pérotin, who combined swift and complex polyphony with a much slower bass line of Gregorian chants.
The intriguing nature of this composition makes for fascinating listening. Created without the use of synthesized instruments, ...
| | Bang On A Can Music For Airports (Brian Eno) CD (1998)
Emerald Isles
$9.69
Before the term "ambient" came to be applied to everything from the eerie soundscapes of the Aphex Twin to such hybrids as ambient-techno and "illbient," there was Brian Eno's MUSIC FOR AIRPORTS. A definitive precursor of today's ambient music, this four-part instrumental piece is devoid of all but the most basic aspects of song and, therefore, challenges listeners to re-imagine what music might be. As easy to listen to as it is ignore, the piece hardly seems as though it would benefit from being played by live musicians. But the New York-based Bang on a Can ensemble proves otherwise.
Recontextualizing AIRPORTS--originally an all-synthesizer work--serves to bring its Zen-like elements into bolder relief. The magisterial calm of "1/1" is enhanced with touches of instrumentation behind and around its central six-note piano phrase. In the two sequences that follow, a choir of heavenly voices fades in and out against the sparest of sonic landscapes. While the concept of "music for airports" evokes a certain chilly, antiseptic feeling, the essential humanity of the music is always evident, becoming all the more apparent in this "performance" recasting.
Recorded at Avatar and Looking Glass Studios, New York, New York in August 1997. Includes liner notes by Julia Wolfe, David Lang and Michael Gordon.
Personnel: Phyllis Jo Kubey, Katie Geissinger, Alexandra Montano (vocals); Mark Stewart (electric guitar, mandocello, mandolin, cello); Wu Man (pipa); Todd Reynolds (violin); Matt Goeke, Maya Beiser, Greg Hesselink (cello); Evan Ziporyn (clarinet, bass clarinet); Tom Hoyt, Wayne duMaine (trumpet); Julie Josephson, Christopher Washburne (trombone); Chris Komer (horns); Lisa Moore (piano, keyboards); Steven Schick (percussion).

A compilation of "greatest hits," ANGELIC VOICES features most of the expected classics, including Georg Frideric Handel's "Hallelujah" and Franz Gruber's "Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht." However, there are several surprises in store for listeners, including an amusing arrangement of Carlos Jobim's 'The Girl from Ipanema.'
Those looking for a retrospective of the Vienna Boys Choir will not be disappointed by ANGELIC VOICES. Likewise, those looking for an introduction to the world of choral music would be wise to choose this as a prime example.
