Steve Reich’s Drumming is regarded as one of the most important musical works of the last century. Distilled through his studies of African percussion in Ghana during 1970 and Balinese gamelan music, Reich revolutionized our understanding of polyrhythms, sculpting a new sonic territory to illuminate the radical potential of Minimalism.
Divided into four sections, performed without pause, Drumming is written for eight small tuned drums, three marimbas, three glockenspiels, piccolo and voice. The singers recite melodic patterns that mimic the sounds of the instruments, gradually rising to the surface and then fading out. The overall effect can be transfixing – pulling listeners into the rhythm and possessing a raw immediacy, directness and energy.
The premier performances of Drumming took place in December 1971 in New York City – first at The Museum of Modern Art, then at Brooklyn Academy of Music and finally at Town Hall where this recording was made – and featured the composer along with a cast of longtime collaborators including Art Murphy, Steve Chambers, Russ Hartenberger, James Preiss, Jon Gibson, Joan La Barbara, Judy Sherman, Jay Clayton, Ben Harms, Gary Burke, Frank Maefsky and James Ogden.
Originally released in 1972 by gallerist John Gibson in a small private edition, Drumming represents the culmination of Reich’s investigation into rhythmic phase relationships and its early realization captures a remarkably organic feel, especially compared to the more widely known version on Deutsche Grammophon from 1974.
This first-time vinyl reissue and first-time CD release has been carefully remastered from the original master tapes.

“Drumming” (1970 / 1971) pour un ensemble de percussions diverses et voix.
L’une des œuvres les plus complexes et abouties de Steve Reich “stade ultime de raffinement de la technique de déphasage et première apparition de la substitution des battements aux silences”. Cette pièce a été composée après un voyage du compositeur au Ghana pour étudier les percussions africaines.
L’ensemble de l’œuvre est basé sur un seul motif rythmique qui subit des changements de position de phase, de hauteur et de timbre, mais tous les interprètes jouent ce motif, ou une partie de celui-ci, sur toute la pièce.
La première partie est écrite pour bongos accordés montés sur pied et joués avec des baguettes. La seconde l’est pour trois marimbas joués par neuf interprètes et deux voix de femmes. La troisième partie est composée pour trois glockenspiels avec sifflements et piccolo. La quatrième partie est pour tous ces instruments et voix.
La durée d’exécution est variable en fonction de l’interprétation des musiciens qui ont une certaine latitude de temps pour l’exécution des cellules rythmiques.
