Performance Practice in the Music of Steve Reich provides a
performer's perspective on Steve Reich's compositions from his
iconic minimalist work, Drumming, to his masterpiece, Music for 18
Musicians. It addresses performance issues encountered by the
musicians in Reich's original ensemble and the techniques they
developed to bring his compositions to life. Drawing comparisons
with West African drumming and other non-Western music, the book
highlights ideas that are helpful in the understanding and
performance of rhythm in all pulse-based music. Through
conversations and interviews with the author, Reich discusses his
percussion background and his thoughts about rhythm in relation to
the music of Ghana, Bali, India, and jazz. He explains how he used
rhythm in his early compositions, the time feel he wants in his
music, the kind of performer who seems to be drawn to his music,
and the way perceptual and metrical ambiguity create interest in
repetitive music.
