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

Performed Live in 1995 at the Frankfurt Opera House, with the Ensemble Modern conducted by Sian Edwards!
Due to the 10 Minutes restriction from YouTube, i had to split the Concert in five parts...! Good Audio Quality, Video capture!

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?

@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...

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... ;-)

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

Superb.

C'est trop stylé ! On a étudié ça en musique : en fait, après avoir enregistré un discours politique, il a mis les sons sur les touches d'un clavier électronique. Et là, y joue du piano mais c'est ce discours qui en ressort ^^ C'est lassant et répétitif, mais je trouve ça vraiment génial !!!

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
