Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Third Coast Percussion has been saluted by the Washington Post for it's "virtuosity and precisely timed wit", and was called by the New York Times a "commandingly elegant" ensemble. The group, which is ensemble-in-residence at the University of Notre Dame, teaches and performs a concert series in Chicago, and has commissioned dozens of new works. This album is the ensemble's Cedille label debut, and is an 80th birthday acknowledgement to American composer Steve Reich, the founding father of musical minimalism. This recording features four of Reich's most notable percussion works.

Review

*** GRAMMY WINNER, 59TH AWARDS: Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance ***

"It's above all a sensual approach to tone color that comes through in Third Coast's take on classic works, whether it's the relaxed warmth of the Mallet Quartet or the glistening brightness of "Music for Pieces of Wood." Joined by the pianists David Friend and Oliver Hagen, the ensemble also finds full-blooded drama in the Sextet, which contains within its five movements a world of expressions from impish charm to almost oppressive darkness." --Corinna da Fonseca-Wollheim, New York Times

The Exciting American Gamelan Sound of Steve Reich

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 18, 2016

After these several decades, the once avant-garde music of Steve Reich (and Philip Glass) are now established classical repertoire and young ensembles are performing smaller examples beside Reich's masterpiece, Music for 18 Musicians. Indeed, Reich, Riley, and Glass are at the cusp of 80 years. This album features Third Coast Percussion, which is based at the University of Notre Dame, and they play some smaller yet delicious Reich pieces: Mallet Quartet [2009]; Sextet [1985] (the quartet of Sean Connors, Robert Dillon, Peter Martin, and David Skidmore are augmented with pianists David Friend and Oliver Hagen); Nagoya Marimbas; and Music for Pieces of Wood (the pulse provided by Matthew Duvall of eighth blackbird). The rich, warm, lucid sound is evident at the outset with the propulsive marimbas and vibraphones; the inner contrasting movement of slow, reflective lyricism becomes a delicate array of crystals. With the sonority of the pianos, the next composition is rapid and intense. Consisting of five, diverse movements in A-B-C-B-A form, the score calls for three marimbas, two vibraphones, two bass drums, crotales, sticks, and tam-tam in addition to the pair of pianos and synthesizers. The adventurous, powerful work takes the listener on quite a ride. Nagoya Marimbas [1994] is but five minutes in duration but packs aesthetic pleasure. Design for a duo (here, Connors and Martin), the musicians re-interpret the work using different mallet and phrasing of slightly altered tempos. The timbre is rather different in the early Music for Pieces of Wood [1973]. It calls for just 5 pieces of wood tuned at different pitches. The choice of wood for these claves and approach to pitch was left open. The group elected purpleheart wood struck with heavy dowels. (As parallel, a jegog gamelan consisting of bamboo instruments is found in Bali.) The compositions differ in mood; they can be uplifting or dark. Taken together, the percussive pieces are an exciting retrospective collection of Reich's development of rhythm and timbre with its African and Southeast Asian flavors imparted by his studies at the Institute for African Studies at the University of Ghana in Accra and his work with Balinese Gamelan Semar Pegulingan and Gamelan Gambang at the American Society for Eastern Arts in Seattle and Berkeley, California. 62 minutes.

　そんなに音楽に詳しいわけでもないので下手なことは書けませんが、聴いているだけでどこかへ連れていかれてしまうような不安定な期待が初めからずっと、体の真ん中でだんだん頭のてっぺんまで登ってくる感じ。リズムとは、拍動とは、なんでこんなにすっと体の中に入り込んでくるのか、といろんなことを思い浮かべながらただただ目を見開くように耳をすませて次の音をしみ込ませる時間が続きます。
　マレットとは打楽器を打つ棒のこと。で、ネタバレかもしれませんが、みんな知ってる普通の楽器だけど実はコレも打(弦)楽器だった・・・と圧倒される瞬間があり、その衝撃がほんとに心地よく響くのでした。毎日は聴かないけれど、たまに（３連休二日目の夜とかに）一人で聴くのは最高の時間の使い方かもしれない。まあそんな感じで（個人の感想ですからね念のため）普段クラシックとか好きでない方にも、今生きてる音楽家のうち最も尊敬されている方（だったはず）の傑作は聴いてみてイイとおもうのでした。

Third Coast winner!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 9, 2016

Verified Purchase

I sort of bought this on a little bit of a whim, but after listening to it I'm so glad I did. I had already the Sextet (Steve Reich and Musicians on Nonsuch) but the other three works were new to me. I do like Reich's minimalist subtleties of melody, beat and tempos, especially in his pieces which need to be struck, and so this disc has turned out to be a real winner. Major points in it's favour are it's length - it's 62 minutes long (some of the early cd's of Reich's music only last for 45 or so minutes belaying their origins - vinyl records), and it is beautifully recorded, with a wonderfully mellow sound. I think some may find it a little too closely miked and recorded at too high a level but tweeking the volume control should help with that, for me it's not a problem.

Comparisons of the versions of the Sextet [1985] reveal that the group Third Coast Percussion take things marginally slower, 2 minutes 11 seconds to be precise, than Reich's own recording which was made in 1986. My own observation after hearing both is that the newer version is steadier than the other but I reckon you would probably not notice the difference.

This disc is a little belter and I would highly recommend it to anyone. But to anyone with an interest in building a cd collection of Steve Reich's music it's probably an essential. Hmm, I wonder what Third Coast Percussion would do with Drumming? It's over to you Cedille.
