Music reviews of Tehillim
Music Review: Not typical Steve Reich
Rating: 4 Stars
Tehillim differs from most other works by Reich. It has long lyrical melodies. It has singing. The rhythm never repeats itself; it sounds like a random combination of twos and threes. It has chromatic harmonies. It has a more spontaneous, emotional feel, rather than being calculated and mechanical. So even people who don't like Reich's other works might enjoy this one.
Description of Tehillim
It was with this critical work, Tehillim (the Hebrew word for psalms), that Steve Reich demonstrated that minimalism had the power to break out of its groupie ghetto and appeal to a broad audience of music lovers. In creating a masterpiece both expressive and approachable, Reich used the oldest trick in the book: he turned to a biblical source--exactly the sort of thing that composers have been doing since the dawn of recorded music. The result is remarkable in every way, and the music's popularity in performance speaks for itself. This recording, effectively with the work's "original cast," is unlikely to be bettered. It belongs in the collection of anyone who cares about the most important music of our time. --David HurwitzGeneral CDs
