Music for 18 Musicians

Book • 1978
Steve Reich's 'Music for 18 Musicians' is a groundbreaking work of minimalist music, composed between 1974 and 1976.

It features a cycle of eleven chords, with each section built upon these harmonies, creating a rich tapestry of sound.

The composition is notable for its use of human breath in structuring the rhythm and its exploration of psychoacoustic effects.
