Steve Reich`s City Life - Part 3 "It`s been a honeymoon"

[opusnumberken]

WE PREMIERED THIS WORK AT TANGLEWOOD AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT, UNFORTUNATELY WE DID NOT CAPTURE THE ESSENCE OF THE WORK QUITE AS WELL AS FRANKFURT OPERA, BRAVO!!!! THIS IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT WORK IN AMERICAN LITERATURE.

sounds like a mechanical bark.

Hi I'm Jocelyn & I like mustaches but not on ur face

[Contrapunctus1750]

This reminds me of one of those novelty albums where someone samples a dog's bark and plays Christmas carols with it.

Steve Reich = Music for the new century = L O V E

[diablor3m]

What' s?!



[TheRyller169]

@KiNoUnnamed It Is because in France it is part of the program

[AyumuVanguard]

@drumrolldog90 I think another sample says "Can't take no' mo" while the main one says "It's been a honeymoon". No matter what it's pretty awesome.

[Euklidas]

my favourite part is where he says "it's been a honeymoon"

[custino22]

terrible! chef d'oeuvre. machine à mouvement perpetuel oscillant entre jazz et musique classique.

[Zebeldarebel]

This is some real good stuff!

[OnionRingOfDoom]

Is it weird that i have a tendancy to sing along to this one? I kinda want to see an acapella group do the whole piece, actually. That'd be sweet. Fantastic recording, though! Is this the audio they used for the CD?

[jc7010]

@OnionRingOfDoom

No, it is not! It`s the original audio from the european premiere!

But if you mean the voice samples, yes it is from steve reichs recording which has been used for the CD as well...

[Yetipfote]

This is thrilling music!

But i actually dont understand the message if there is any.

For me it only depicts the turbulent, noisy city life with its gear-like course of events.

[jc7010]

Don`t look for the message to much, watch part by part and you`ll understand the piece... ;-)

[BassWorthington]

@Yetipfote perhaps thats the point

[benmillerintx]

the modern European hyper-conscious autocrat dictates that this is not good...donc je suis, je pense.

[Xx140894xX]

Mal à la tête !! --'

"too much french watch this"

[KiNoUnnamed]

[jannokas85]

Alright already! ... I know what minimalism is...please stop this! :D (Kidding!)

[Hyardacil]

@jannokas85 Haha. I Confess! I Confess!

[Rinhos]

unfortunately at 1'57'' they get for a few seconds out of synchro. A part from that, good performance of a wonderful piece.

[pelleas08]

it's been a great honeymoon! ^^

[PitchKucks]

Horrible cette partie la..."Ca a été une lune de miel" ?

Ca fait pas ressortir la meme impression chez moi !

[erinmerle]

En Occident, le voyage de noces est le voyage que les jeunes mariés font après leur cérémonie de mariage. C'est, pour eux, le véritable premier moment d'intimité leur permettre de se découvrir en dehors du cadre de vie habituel.

Cette expression a remplacé et se trouve en concurrence avec celle de lune de miel (nom qui désigne couramment le premier mois suivant le mariage).

It's supposed to be sarcastic.

[Blandineuh37]

Mdrr On écoute çaà en musiik' !

[JrM93]

mdr nous aussi ...

[Wiillemette]

lol nous pareil, la prof à arrêter elle en pouvait plus ...

[FaisPipi]

Trop relou a écouter!

[PitchKucks]

[wizardofrhythm]

[drumrolldog90]

I think its "Can't Take no' mo'"

[themightysrc]
