30.5 x 30.5cm, printed gatefold sleeve content of two 33 rpm LP audio records

The first issue (pressing) of this important recording of Reich's influential minimalist works (four in total) that only used a limited orchestra (eight small tuned drums, three marimbas, three glockenspiels, male and female voices, whistling and poccolo).

This is one of the unnumbered edition that did not include the score but it is unplayed and in VG+ condition.  Now very scarce.

 

was limited to 500 numbered copies and came with a leporello fouldout score, as well as 100 Artist Proof (AP) copies. This copy is not numbered, only inscribed, and we suspect it to be one of the AP copies. This copy also lacks the leporello score that was issued with the signed/numbered edition. The gatefold sleeve has the title written on it neatly in ink by the recipient, but is otherwise in very good + to near fine condition with only some minor toning. Both records are also in superb condition, very good + or better showing only some very faint sleeve wear. A beautiful example of this important record from early in Reich's career and is very scare as an association copy. 1971. John Gibson + Multiples US

17 x 13cm, 8pp single sheet, folded into fours for mailing. Invitation for Steve Reich and Musicians, Three Concerts, December 7, 15, 16, 1973: consisting of Drumming (1971), Music for Pieces of Wood (1973), Six Pianos (1973), Clapping Music (1972), Music for Mallet Instruments, Voices, and Organ (1973). This was an early and important three-night stand by Steve Reich and Musicians, with a different program for each evening. The first and third concerts in the series featured Reich's seminal percussion piece, "Drumming" (1971), and the second of the series featured the debut of three new pieces, "Music for Pieces of Wood", "Six Pianos ", and Music for Mallet Instruments, Voices, and Organ" (1973), along with "Clapping" (1972). All the pieces represented in this performance are important parts of Brakhage's early work in the development of his now-legendary compositional process of "phasing," wherein the same repetitive pattern is played on two musical instruments, in steady but not identical tempi. As a result, the two instruments gradually shift out of unison, creating first a slight echo as one instrument plays a little behind the other, then a doubling with each note heard twice, then a complex ringing effect, and eventually coming back through doubling and echo into unison. Reich's compositions relating to "phasing" began with the tape loop pieces "Come Out" (1966) and "It's Gonna Rain" (1965), followed by the more formal "Piano Phase" (1967), and eventually to the pieces in this program. The following year, Reich would move on to ensemble pieces, beginning with "Music for 18 Musicians" in 1974, making this December 1973 performance a true culmination of the composer's first decade.
