Steve Reich is recognized among Jewish contributors to Arts & Literature — Pioneer of minimalist music through phasing and pulse works like Music for 18 Musicians
Steve Reich is an American composer who pioneered minimalist music through 'phasing' and steady-pulse works such as 'Music for 18 Musicians', 'Drumming' and 'Different Trains', reshaping the direction of contemporary classical music. He is Jewish; his Jewish identity became explicit in later works, including 'Tehillim' and 'Different Trains', which draws on his family history and the Holocaust.
