If there are diverse kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing place, then we need to learn to value the different ways each of us sees a single place that is significant, but differently so, for each perspective.

Steve Reich, Music for 18 Musicians, trailer « Previous | |Next »
January 25, 2008

A trailer of Steve Reich's mid 1970's work Music for 18 Musicians, as played by the Grand Valley State University New Musical Ensemble, who are based in the farmlands of Michigan. Some background here.

The trailer is like a sampler (better quality here; slow load) and indicates the potential of the internet for classical music to escape from its ghetto. The work is a transition from Reich's early, process-oriented Minimalist pieces to a more involved, expressive mode.

Another example of the way classical music is exploiting the virtual reality of internet is the web site of the Schenberg Centre in Vienna. This is an absolute goldmine of early artistic modernism.
