Création : le 6 décembre 2009, Palais des Arts de Budapest, par le Quatuor Amadinda. Effectif : 2 marimbas, 2 vibraphones. Durée : environ 15 minutes. Mallet Quartet est écrit pour deux vibraphones et deux marimbas de cinq octaves. Jusque-là, je n’avais jamais composé pour des marimbas de cinq octaves descendant jusqu’au do du violoncelle. D’un côté j’étais ravi de disposer d’une telle basse mais j’avais aussi une certaine appréhension, car si l’on frappe un peu trop fort à une tessiture aussi grave, la mailloche [ndt : en anglais mallet] risque de produire un bruit et non une note. Finalement, après un peu d’expérimentation, tout s’est réglé. La pièce comporte trois mouvements : rapide, lent, rapide. Dans les deux mouvements rapides du début et de la fin, les marimbas construisent un contexte harmonique qui reste assez statique en comparaison avec d’autres compositions récentes comme Double Sextet (2007).

  • Steve Reich Selected Reviews
    Steve Reich Selected Reviews Runner – Royal Ballet Royal Opera House (November 2016) “McGregor pairs Reich’s 1965 looped tape composition It’s Gonna Rain with Runner, a piece written 50 years later. The first piece is fractured and apocalyptic (a preacher is predicting the end of the world after all), while the second – the new Reich – is hopeful, harmonic, healing… McGregor’s choreography segues from frantic exposition, almost automated in its pained realisation of impending disaster, to a more sumptuous expression of humanity and haven.” – Debra Craine, The Times **** “… Runner is a calmly luminous orchestral piece with the pulsating, propulsive rhythms that animate much of Mr Reich’s music. Here, coloured lights play across the grid, and a line of dancers spools in silhouette along one wall, as duets, trios and larger groupings mutate centre stage.” – Roslyn Sulcas, The New York Times Pulse – International Contemporary Ensemble Carnegie Hall (November 2016) “Beauty is a consistent quality of Reich’s recent music, and the most beautiful of all has to be Pulse , which was simple and luminous… At the bottom of Pulse was a constant eight-note throb from an electric bass through shifting meters. On top, there was a marvellous long-limbed, lyrical melody, repeated at times in tutti, at others in a closely mirrored canon.” – George Grella , New York Classical Review “Pulse , for small ensemble, begins with the strings making swooping lyrical lines, as at the start of Appalachian Spring : The mood is one of emerging, rising. A gentle, yes, pulse – quick but not pounding – emerges behind it, soon joined by a meatier, lower throb in the electric bass.” – Zachary Woolfe , The New York Times “If there has long been a sense that Reich’s early work is his best, the European premiere of Pulse (2016), given by Britten Sinfonia as the centrepiece of the first day of Steve Reich at 80, gives pause for thought.

  • Steve Reich Pakistan in 2002
    relating to the American reporter Daniel Pearl, kidnapped and murdered in Steve Reich Pakistan in 2002. Its tolling metallophones and four pianos take their departure point from yet further harmonic and timbral advances charted by Reich in the 21st century and raise them to new heights of lyrical intensity and rich darkness. _Double Sextet_ (2007), meanwhile, develops fresh perspectives to Reich's familiar interlocking patterns with pairs of identical instruments. And _2x5_ (2009) sees him returning again to his early output as the inspiration behind his first piece for an entirely rock instrumentation. Reich's output of the last three decades has found an increasingly welcome place in the Western classical concert hall, confirmed by the award of the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 2009. The ambient DJ crowd, from Brian Eno Steve Reich photo © Peter Hundert onwards, has embraced, in particular, the early, hard-edged scores, not least for their radical take on the experience of time. Yet one important message of __An introduction to the works of Steve Reich__ _by Keith Potter_ Those who Reich's entire output as a composer is that such cultural boundaries, where first encounter the music of Steve Reich through his early _It's Gonna Rain_ they still exist today, are there to be crossed. _Keith Potter, 2009_ (1965), _Piano Phase_ (1967) or _Drumming_ (1970-71) will probably connect this vividly contrapuntal music, incessantly relocating simple patterns before our ears and brains, with the term minimalism. It's not an unreasonable link to make. Yet "minimalism" scarcely does justice to this composer’s output of the last three decades and more.
