Steve Reich was recently called "…America’s greatest living composer."
(The Village VOICE), “...the most original musical thinker of our time” (The
New Yorker) and “...among the great composers of the century” (The New
York Times).. From his early taped speech pieces It's Gonna Rain (1965)
and Come Out (1966) to his and video artist Beryl Korot’s digital video
opera Three Tales (2002), Mr. Reich's path has embraced not only aspects
of Western Classical music, but the structures, harmonies, and rhythms of
non-Western and American vernacular music, particularly jazz. "There's
just a handful of living composers who can legitimately claim to have
altered the direction of musical history and Steve Reich is one of them,"
states The Guardian (London).
