Steve Reich - Eight Lines - www.londonstevereichensemble.com Vincent Corver, Kevin Griffiths

Wouldn't want to create this kind of music on Cubase ; it has to be done with real musicians - kind of what Mike Oldfield wanted to do but this is a 1000 times more sophisticated, totally brilliant.

Amazing.

i have been listening to this music for at least 25 yrs and each time i hear it i always hear something else which is why i think steve is incredibly bright to have originated this

25 years wow. thats a long time don't you think?! It was made in 1979 anyway.

And although i could be seen as an "oldschooler" in the internet with a 1983 in my ID, i´m so happy that i stumbled over Steve Reich´s music about 2 or 3 years ago. And still i´m the ONLY person i know, who can listen to his songs for several hours. My favourites are this one (Eight Lines from Tehilim), Six Marimbas and Music for 18 Musicians.

Wow. Steve Reich is all I listen to, for hours on end whilst working, so you know another person who does that!
I've listened to the whole thing of Music for 18 about wait let me check my itunes...183 times so thats about 183 hours of my life dedicated to music for 18 hahaha! I love everything. Favs are Music for 18, Music for Large Ensemble, Eight Lines, Four Sections, Three Movements, Double Sextet, 2x5, Mallet Quartet (premiere soon lol) Thanks for the reply kinda made my day!

such a lovely recording of such a great piece, but I was disappointed that it was cut off at the end.

I cannot begin to describe how I am completely taken with this piece and that it has such an emotional grip on me right now. No more words just the music...

but... it's just two notes. o.o

In my opinion, Reich can do more with two notes than you or I could do with an entire page of music. :P

(Although if, as your username might suggest, you're a cellist, I would concede that it probably wouldn't be all that exhilarating to play. :P)
