Steve Reich: The Desert Music (chamber version)
Endymion
麻豆社 Singers
David Hill (conductor)
Steve Reich's extraordinary musical vision The Desert Music' tells of the end of the world as imagined in the apocalypse of the post-nuclear age. Texts by William Carlos Williams are set for amplified voices, strings, synthesisers and a huge array of percussion; since its composition in 1983 it has become one of Reich's most iconic works.
Concert originally broadcast 13/08/2014.
