Steve Reich - Nagoya Marimbas

This piece was commissionned for the Shirakawa Hall inauguration in 1994, in Nagoya, Japan.

Performed by Bob Becker & James Preiss, marimbas

Composer's Notes:
Nagoya Marimbas (1994) is somewhat similar to my pieces from the 1960s and ‘70s in that there are repeating patterns played on both marimbas, one or more beats out of phase, creating a series of two part unison canons. However, these patterns are more melodically developed, change frequently and each is usually repeated no more than three times, similar to my more recent work. The piece is also considerably more difficult to play than my earlier ones and requires two virtuosic performers.
