Steve Reich

Picked up a new Steve Reich CD today, containing 3 new pieces.
 
'Nagoya Marimbas': a very beautiful marimba duet, similar to Reich's
earlier marimba pieces but more complex and with more variations.
This 4 minute piece alone is worth the CD if you like Reich's minimalism.
 
'The Proverb': a choir/ensemble piece influenced by early music.
 
'City Life' (a predecessor to 'The Cage'): a complex piece of ensemble
music with sampled city sounds, e.g. speech samples with the speech melody
integrated into the harmonic flow of the piece.
