American composer. Also known as Reik. Born in New York. In his teens, he became interested in JS Bach and Stravinsky, and after studying philosophy, he studied at the Juilliard School from 1953 to 1957. In 1961, he studied under Milhaud and Berio at Mills College in Oakland. In the 1970s, he studied folk music from Ghana and Indonesia. With music based on the repetition of short motifs, he became a promoter of minimal music alongside Riley and Philip Glass (1937-). After composing works such as Drumming (1970-1971) for percussion, voice, and whistling, and Music for 18 Musicians (1976) for instruments and female voices, he composed large-scale pieces in the 1980s, such as Desert Music (1982-1984) for instruments and chorus based on poems by WC Williams, and the orchestral work The Four Sessions (1987). Other well-known works include Different Trains (1988) for string quartet and tape, written for the Kronos Quartet, and his musical activities have had a major impact on the worlds of jazz and rock.ReichSource : Heibonsha Encyclopedia About MyPedia Information |
