Amazing, how Reich can create sheer beauty while spinning around a "few" notes. It could go on and on and on ...

albbester--its published by boosey & hawkes but not commercially available yet. or rather, it costs nearly $300 to buy. your best bet is to get a music library to purchase it or rent it for you.

@ kolkrabe, wtf are you even talking about? Analysis simply means studying ANYTHING by breaking it down into its component parts. It has nothing to do with mental illness. Why would you recommend a video that is a complete non-sequitur?
-
Absolutely great music, and I was really touched by the story behind it. Keep up the good work.
-
anyone know if study scores or sheet music has been written for this piece?
-
Please google @ watch this y/t clip:
Psychiatry: No Science No Cures

analysing various madnesses? there is a point. @ kolkrabe19
-
lol. they just make us listen to different types of music for us to decide which orchestral period its in, the dates etc. composers, what the characteristics etc. something im halfway good at so i quite enjoy it. and i get to listen to music. so im happy all round =)
-
Analyse them, yes, your teacher wants all of you to study psychology. Better not study psychology, what´s the point analysing the various madnesses.
-
haha no. our teachers are just obsessed with youtube and make us watch lots of different orchestras so we can analyse them etc,
-
Are you playing one of the instruments, @ jamspice11 ?

DANIEL VARIATIONS is out on CD! I just picked it up a couple days ago. It's beautiful. The performance in this video is a bit faster, and Jordan Hall is much more resonant, though. The CD also includes "Variations for Vibes, Piano, and Strings." Both wonderful pieces, but once again "Daniel" really stands out.

hi! i live in Israel and unfortunately i couldn't get my hands on the Daniel variations.... i think that if i reach heaven i would probably hear Reich's music... brilliant performance! it's a shame it is a little cut at the end... thx though :-)

Well, the CD will come out soon! The original clip I had is 16 minutes, but of course this YouTube only allows a certain amount, and this was the best I could compress. Thanks! Lyla Tov!

Thanke you! It's one of his best pieces. I came from Prague to join the Barbican festival. This was on the last concert - since then, I can't stop thinking aboat this piece.

If you have the chance, you should really e-mail Steve Reich and tell him that. It's definitely one of my favorite pieces of his now that I was a bit of a rehearsal pianist for these singers, and got to see the score and feel it... it's an incredible piece!

Well, I'm not sure that he would be interested in my opinions, he is too busy, I think.
There's something very special aboat the way he sets those texts. It is somewhat oposit to Tehilim: In Daniel Variations, instruments are playing rich fast lines whereas the lines for voices developes slower. I don't usually like political art but Reich is far from beig just political. His choise of texts is incredible inventive itself!

You're so right. I think the downfall of most "political" pieces is that they focus too much on the agenda, forgetting the extreme personal, human affects behind the event. Reich, especially in this piece and in Three Tales - Bikini, reminds us that first and foremost, something non-human happened. Humanity was ignored. He brings the human element back. That's what I love. The text in this piece is SO incredibly human, and his music just makes that even more clear.
