Importance of Reich pieces

evaluation

How are we evaluating the importance of Reich's pieces to the contemporary music project. For example, it seems counterintuitive that the rarely performed Pendulum Music would be accorded the same importance as the best selling Music for 18 Musicians.

Pendulum Music was much earlier, and was among the first pieces that crystallized his ideas of music being a process that inexorably works itself out. 18 Musicians is a great piece, and much more popular, but arguably doesn't break new aesthetic and philosophical ground like Pendulum Music, It's Gonna Rain, or the earlier phase pieces did. —Torc.

I believe that Reich himself has argued that Pendulum Music is more important to him than it is to other people, unlike 18 Musicians and Piano Phase, the latter of which is very important to both. 18 Musicians, for instance, could be considered of high importance because it is "very notable within Contemporary music, and well-known outside of it" (Wikipedia:WikiProject Contemporary music/Assessment#Importance scale).

We may note that the Belgian choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker used Music for 18 Musicians, performed by the Ictus Ensemble, for her highly successful piece Rain (French). Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 16:59, 15 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
