great piece played by great musicians.

Steve Reich... more like Steve KIKE amirite?

Seriously though, he's a fucken genius.

[JosephGlaser]

where are the other movements to this piece, all I can find is this and part 1. Part 2 is my favorite.

I agree with dmvc2008.

Been a guitarist since 1969. Jazz, progressive, classical is best.

Rock was great, but has become nothing more than a head banging G-chord of modern times.

[dmvc2008]

"rock and roll" "music with...substance". Er - no. Contradiction in terms really.

THIS is music with substance, with nuance, with soul. To the pinkpoop person - expand your horizons and LISTEN. No, it does not have a clearly discernable melody and No, it does not use a standard blues chord progression with a nice little hook your brain will retain. Try listening without expectations and let this man's music take you somewhere.

@dmvc2008 But it does have discernible harmonic patterns, with the shifting phases of the glockenspiels and piccolo playing (clearly heard at around 5:20. It owes a lot in form to gamelan (and I think Carl Orff's "Street Song").

This is a magnificent piece and really needs to be heard in its entirety, all 4 movements. Theis video's audio is good, but the mix in the studio recording is what's need.

Music is music. If it doesn't conform to your tastes then so be it, but to some it does. It is a rather elitist and bigoted view that people need to listen to your musical taste to get any worth from this art form. Such opinion also belittles your education, as surely at some point you would have found out that music is an outlet of expression. Thus to me, you seem more like an immature child than someone with any credibility.

[DrOli]

Is that all you can come up with? I suppose you validate my opinion.

[Averilli1]

@DrOli Fits in to the same category as Art and tbh personal preference to living

[schmetterlink]

If you crawled out of your parents' basement once in a while, you'd learn that many, if not most, Steve Reich fans out there are also big fans of rock music, and hip hop, too.

This might also come as a surprise for someone who clearly doesn't get out much, but there are plenty of people out there who deride your beloved rock music for lacking substance. I'm not one of them, but I think it demonstrates what an astonishingly stupid accusation that is.

[JeniferSheppard]

Wow! So great! :)

[johnthedrummerboy8]

Where did you get the sheet music for this? What a wonderful piece

[denvermarathon]

that video is SICK

[chrisbarrick]

did you use wood mallets?

[CharlieOlvera]

We tried wood mallets, but found that the contact sound that hard plastic xylophone mallets (the IP James Ross rust-colored) gave us was more in line with the more percussive, "ticky" sound that we believed Reich wanted.
