Music for 18 Musicians

Album by Steve Reich & Grand Valley State University New Music Ensemble

Music for 18 Musicians is an album by American composer Steve Reich, released in 1978. The work features interlocking repetitive patterns, phased rhythms and shifting harmonic cycles performed by a mixed ensemble of voices and instruments, and it marked Reich's move towards larger-scale, pulse-based ensemble writing that became central to late 20th-century minimalism.
