Music for 18 Musicians

Album by Steve Reich

Music for 18 Musicians is a composition by American composer Steve Reich, composed and first performed in 1976. The work deploys interlocking pulsed patterns, steady harmonic cycles and shifting timbral textures across a large ensemble of voices and instruments, representing a key development in Reich's shift from early tape-phase techniques to rhythmically driven ensemble writing and occupying an influential place in the evolution of late 20th-century minimalism.
