Writings on Music, 1965

A unique collection of the composer Steve Reich's writings on music, from his classic essay from 1968 on "Music as a Gradual Process," which was the founding call for the development of minimalism, to his work on non-western musics such as the Balinese and African music that contributed to "Drumming" and other well-known compositions. There are 64 articles by Reich in the collection, which culminates in an interview between Reich and Paul Hiller, professor at Indiana University and well-known in his own right as a performer and leader of the experimental ensemble Theatre of Voices.
