stig moth, yes, i think you'll dig reich. i'm a violinist in his band for 10 years now, and there is lot's of interesting stuff to explore. I would suggest the following... 1. An Internet Search (just to find out a bit about the progression of his work) 2. Nonesuch just released a HUGE cd collection of all his current work 3 And last but not least, here is the list of the order of his major compositions.... in chronological order. You'll notice he started out with tape pieces, then phasing instrumental pieces, and then moved on to ensemble works. enjoy, hope this helps, please let us (on the list) know if you have any other questions. perhaps someone else will respond as well... 4. if you have to start with only one cd, i'd recommend the different trains/electric counterpoint cd with the kronos quartet/pat metheny. other wise i'd recommend starting at the beginning. it's worth it to see the progression. And as the very important composer that he is, I think a good collection of work in hand is a wise educational tool for all of us..l. best, todd reynolds List.............. it's gonna rain come out piano phase four organs drumming clapping music six marimbas Music for mallet instruments, voices and organ music for 18 musicians eight lines (octet) tehillim The Desert Music Sextet New York Counterpoint three movements four sections electric counterpoint different trains the cave nagoya marimbas city life proverb Stig Moth wrote: > hi to everyone, > > I have just joined this list and hope that someone here > may be able to help me with a query.
