If you have the ... ( 11 months ago by piargno)

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 ... ( 11 months ago by alkovna)

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 ... ( 10 months ago by piargno)

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.

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!

DANIEL VARIATIONS ... ( 7 months ago by piargno)

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.

I heard this song over the radio then, then I bought it, I look into the song I knew their had to be a meaning to the lyrics my "my name is Daniel Pearl" after I found out what they meant, I listen to the song again, and i went into a daze with images and couldn't help but to cry.

everyone in my music class really hated this music. probably just beacuse we're used to hearing classical and romantic periods but i loved something about this piece..

haha no. our teachers are just obsessed with youtube and make us watch lots of different orchestras so we can analyse them etc,

Analyse them, yes, your teacher wants all of you to study psychology. Better not study psychology, what
