Amazing! Found it by chance but I had to watch all 5 parts and I'm definitely going to go and find more Steve Reich music now.

I will disagree. I think think this is absolutely his best written score. The orchestration works so well, and look how wonderful it sounds with live sound direction!
I think this has some incredible usage of phrasing and musical direction (dare I say, neo-classical tendencies?)! Especially in this movement.
Also, no one plays Reich like Modern. They really have created a different sound with his music.

@johnthebaptistmoore Well I saw "Where to go" on the score, that's why I wrote it.
-
Perhaps now that Youtube has allowed 15 minute segment uploads you can redo these, jc. At any rate, I rented the Manfred Waffender DVD which features this perfromance at the film's conclusion. I highly recommend a viewing for a better comprehension of what Reich has created here. Cheers.

@sillylittletroy All of the words are mentioned in the CD City Life.
-
@johnthebaptistmoore Have you seen the score?
-
@sillylittletroy, it's, "Where you are.", that's said, not, "Where to go." Just a clarification.
-
"Heavy smoke" "(Woman)Stand by" "It's full a smoke" "Urgent!" "(Man) Stand by" "Guns, knives, or weapons on ya" "What were you doin'" "Be careful" "Where to go"
I'm doing a Citylife type of song with my astronomy and philosophy teachers. I'm having a lot of fun!

Wow.. this movement has some different repeats at the climax. Reich must have edited the piece before releasing the premiere recording. Great to have this on YouTube for archival purposes. The truly FIRST version of this piece, perhaps??

You`re absolutely right! The Concert was at least one year BEFORE the premiere recording! He must have edited the piece after his european tour with the Ensemble Modern! This is 100% the first version, City Life is a tripartite commission from the Ensemble Modern, the London Sinfonietta and the Ensemble Intercontemporain! Therefore the german (european?) premiere anyway...
