Album 1980 3 Songs. By Steve ReichSteve Reich Ensemble. Violin Phase. By Steve ReichShem Guibbory. Music for a Large Ensemble is very much of a piece with the prior work, using extended melodic lines, a larger palette of sound colors, and key changes every several minutes. It's charming and pleasantly busy in an industrious way but really covers little new ground. The remaining two pieces are where the real meat lies. Play album. Stephen Michael Reich born October 3, 1936 in New York City is an American composer. He is a pioneer of minimalism, although his music has increasingly deviated from a purely minimalist style. Reich's innovations include using tape loops to create phasing patterns examples are his early compositions, It's Gonna Rain and Come Out, and the use of processes to create and explore musical concepts for instance, Pendulum Music and Four Organs.
