ABOUT THE PIECE:
“Music for Pieces of Wood grows out of the same roots as Clapping Music: a desire to make music with the simplest possible instruments. The claves, or cylindrical pieces of hard wood, used here were selected for their particular pitches (A, B, C-sharp, D-sharp, and D-sharp an octave above), and for their resonant timbre. This piece is one of the loudest I have ever composed, but uses no amplification whatsoever. The rhythmic structure is based entirely on the process of rhythmic “build-ups“ or the substitution of beats for rests, and is in three sections of decreasing pattern length: 6/4, 4/4, 3/4.“
-- Steve Reich
ABOUT THE COMPOSER:
Steve Reich was recently called “America’s greatest living composer.“ (The Village VOICE), “...the most original musical thinker of our time“
