Resumen del Recurso
Works by Reich which use pre-recorded sounds and speech samples
'It's Gonna Rain' (1965)
Opens with the story of Noah
2 identical tapes loops of black preacher intoning 'it's gonna rain' on 2 different tape recorders
Beginning in unison 2 simultaneous tracks shift out of sync (phase shifting)
Subdivided into 4 then 8 parts that phase against each other
Produce a variety of resulting harmonic, melodic and polyrhythmic combinations
'Come Out' (1966)
Uses spoken speech from voice of a Harlem boy
"Come out to show them" re-recorded on two channels
Phase shifting effect created as they slip out of sync
Gradually the gap widens to become a reverberation and then almost a canon
2 voices split into 4, looped continuously, then 8, until actual words are unintelligible
Only rhythmic and tonal patterns of spoken words are left
'Electric Counterpoint' (1987)
Comissioned for jazz guitarist Pal Metheny
Metheny recorded all guitar tracks under Reich's supervision to create a stereo backing track
Metheny would then perform a live part to create an ensemble performance with himself
Written for 12 guitars and 2 bass guitars
Tonal ambiguity caused by frequent key shifts between E minor and C minor
Features change of metre between 3/2 and 12/8 but not in all parts
Difficult to accomplish due to need for precise timing
'Different Trains' (1988)
3 movements
Live string quartet
Taped string quartet
Taped sampled speech fragments
Train sounds
Described as politically motivated ‘documentary and musical reality’
Based on child experiences
Jewish children travelling around Europe
Himself as a child travelling from New York to LA
Contains speech fragments selected on the basis of their natural rhythmic and melodic phrasing
Not metrically precise and requires tempo adjustments
His governess
Three Holocaust survivors
A retired Pullman porter
Use of tape meant live players had to keep with the tempo of the recording
Musical and verbal continuity provided with unifying semiquaver string motive
'The Cave' (1993)
Multimedia opera in 3 acts
Speech fragments
Video
Music
Presents differing views of Muslims, Jews and Christians as to their ‘claim’ on the Cave of the Patriarchs
Melodic lines are first used in conjunction with the speech that gave rise to them and then used independently
Melodic lines and video images developed by fragmentation and repetition
'City Life' (1995)
Orchestral work
Unpitched, unamplified percussion
2 flutes
2 oboes
2 clarinets
2 vibraphones
2 samplers
2 pianos
String quartet
Double bass
Digital samples play back sounds and speech samples such as car horns, car alarms, air brakes, pile drivers recorded in New York City
Last movement uses extracts from field communications from the New York Fire Department during 1993 World Trade Centre bombing
Reich integrates these into the ensemble
Include fragments of speech, some of which have their 'speech melody' performed by the other instruments
Divided into 5 movements in an arch-like form (ABCBA)
Each named after a sample within it
A: wind chorale B: rhythmic sampled sounds C: speech driven
Paired movements share a chord cycle
'WTC' (2011)
3 movements with no pause between them
1. 9/11/01
Uses speech samples from New York Fire Department and eye witnesses
2. 2010
Uses taped recollections of the day recorded by Reich
3. WTC
Uses recordings of the Jewish hymn of the dead
