    Steve Reich : a bio-bibliography

    No full text
    In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Steve Reich was considered a fringe experimentalist. His work consisted largely of repeating, slowly changing patterns unlike either the serialism or the aleatory that predominated at that time. Today, however, Reich is one of the most prominent and celebrated contemporary composers, one about whom the scholarly and popular literature offers an assortment of critical, historical, and analytical perspectives. Author D.J. Hoek's bio-bibliography serves as an essential guide to this literature, comprehensively surveying Reich's life and work. Included are details of all of Reich's compositions: dates, instrumentation, premiere performances, and publishers; a discography listing all commercial recordings of the composer's oeuvre; and an annotated bibliography of publications in English, French, German, and Italian. The Reich scholar or aficionado could not find a more thorough encapsulation of his brilliant career

    Illusion / anti-illusion: the music of Steve Reich in context, 1965-1968

    No full text
    This dissertation situates the work of Steve Reich during the mid-to-late 1960s in its intricate socio-cultural context. Exploring biographical, hermeneutic, aesthetic, and political implications, it attempts to shed light on the composer’s early years. The historical narrative concentrates on the period between the first instantiation of the phase-shifting technique in 'It’s Gonna Rain, or, Meet Brother Walter in Union Square after Listening to Terry Riley' (1965) and the theoretical treatise ‘Music as a Gradual Process’ (1968). It reaches back, however, to the cultural nexus of San Francisco and ahead to the mercurial gallery scene in New York. In addition, modal compositions from 1966 and 1967 are subject to detailed analyses which question the boundary between ‘impersonal’ process and composerly intervention. Chapter 1 deals with Reich’s relationship to Process art and Minimalism(s), paying particular attention to where he presented his work and with whom he was associated. Chapter 2 traces his involvement with the San Francisco Tape Music Center, the San Francisco Mime Troupe, and the filmmaker Robert Nelson; problematic issues surrounding race and representation are also considered. Chapter 3 critiques two transitional works: 'Melodica' and 'Reed Phase', the latter representing a striking omission from the accepted Reich canon. Chapter 4 is concerned with the relationship between musical teleology and consumer desire in post-war ‘affluent society’, building on the work of Robert Fink. The conclusion proposes that broader social contradictions of the 1960s can be detected in Reich’s music

    Minimalism and time: the perception of temporality in American minimalist music from1958 to 1974

    No full text
    This thesis examines the ways in which American minimalist music affects the listener's perception of temporality by applying the phenomenological approach, particularly that of Husserl, to the music of La Monte Young, Terry Riley, Steve Reich and Philip Glass. The output of each composer, especially between 1958 and 1974, is examined individually, and then a detailed discussion on the relationship between their music and the perception of temporality is given in the final chapter. It will be shown that the durational minimalism of Young can create an apparent state of timelessness, whilst the repetitive minimalism of Riley, Reich and Glass can cause effects as diverse as time retardation and non- directional time. Crucially, it will be shown that different types and styles of minimalist music can cause different effects on the listener’s perception of temporality. The relationship between minimalism in the visual arts and the perception of spatiality will also be discussed - it will be found that the relationship is analogous and instructive

    Política e sexualidade na trajetória de Reich: Berlim (1930-1933)

    No full text
    This study focuses on the sex-political work undertaken by Wilhelm Reich in Berlin, between 1930 and 1933. Four aspects have been chosen to be exposed here: a) the Reichian project of joining together in a single organization, known as SEXPOL, diverse German groups that discussed issues relating to sexuality; b) the publications of sex-political connotation in which the author and his collaborators focused on themes related to childhood and adolescence; c) Reichian analysis dealing with the social function of sexual repression; d) the studies elaborated by Reich, by the light of Political Sexology, focused on Nazi-Fascism. Three sources of data were consulted: the main sex-political works by Reich published during the period 1930-1933; autobiographical reports and an interview in which the author, in the mature days of his work, reassessed his political participation in Europe; the works by some of the commentators who examined Reich¿s Freudo-Marxian production
