Steve Reich is 86 today. Celebrate with “Tehillim” (1982), his vibrant setting of four Hebrew psalms.
Not your thing? How about his Pulitzer Prize winning “Double Sextet” (2007-08)?
Post-Minimalism that yields maximum rewards. Happy birthday Steve Reich!
Last minute programming decision!
In honor of Steve Reich’s 80th birthday (which fell on Monday), and to tie in with our observance of the Jewish High Holy Days, I’ve decided to play “Tehillim,” the composer’s setting of four Hebrew psalms, in the 10:00 hour (EDT). You can hear it this morning on WPRB 103.3 FM and at wprb.com.
