Steve Reich's music is based around the phase shifting of percussion instruments. Even when he uses a larger ensemble--or a whole orchestra--you can still make out the percussion underneath. It's always there. In The Four Sections he takes a simple theme on the strings, then punctuates the flow with precise, percussive effects. It is very engaging music, some of the best this composer has written. Music for Mallet Instruments, Voices and Organ is a tour de force. Once again the percussion rules. Here the organ and voices provide the undercarriage for all sorts of wondrous mallet instruments to flow over the top. --Paul Cook

1. I first went looking for this on iTunes and was disappointed to find that the first movement of The Four Sections was not available.
2. So I went to Amazon, ordered the CD, and was told to download the MP3. This contained all of The Four Sections, but did not contain the Music for Mallet Instruments, Voices and Organ.
3. I put the CD into the iMac to download all five tracks into iTunes. The five tracks all appear as having been downloaded. But only The Four Sections appears in the Music Library, and when I sync my iPhone, only The Four Seasons is replicated there.
What gives?
Despite these issues, the music itself is terrific. Reich provides the liner notes for the CD.
Music for Mallet Instruments, Voices & Organ (1973), composed for Reich's own popular ensemble, casts an exotic spell; African drumming through the sort of gamelan some imaginary Pythagoreans might have played if they had those kinds of bands. Wonderful, delicate music.
In both works the changes happen fast enough & the music is over almost before you can say "minimalism."
