@MrPrincewalid On peut choisir cette oeuvre aussi pour la problématique : Comment la mémoire historique se reflète-elle à travers l'art ?

Steve Reich didn't intend on making this 'moving' in the way that it makes you feel like jumping about and going crazy, in a good way, (e.g. Queen - Don't Stop Me Now). Instead he wanted people to be moved and feel like cringing at the squeekiness; he wanted to change the atmosphere people felt.

I listen to a lot of music from the romantic period and some from the classical period but I can honestly say this is one of the most moving pieces of music I have ever heard.

[OhRobot]

Perhaps we can all be moved by different things. I don't think a personal emotional reaction to art can be "a load of bull." I actually like the romantic and classical eras (as well as the baroque, renaissance, medieval, etc) but the music was written in the context of that time, and it shows. They aren't irrelevant today, but I like hearing new things instead of the same composers again and again.

Listen to the last movement of this, where the two different threads - America and Europe - come together, and tell me it isn't moving. 'And when she stopped singing, they said more, more.' Beautiful and eloquent.

Jazzflutist: lol - not sure if this gave me headache or that sledge hammer that just wacked me in the head.

[burtv1610]

I sort of agree - as i said to piano phasing I think a lot of people speak a load of bull when they say how "moving" this is and emotional and expressive. Fair enough fascinating or interesting. I think it's an insult how this is classifies as moving, but many people discard the classical and romantic era.

The full album is beautiful and very moving.

[ceilingkatt]

however, its much less effective live imao, listen to the original album
