Reich 3 rd movement (Fast) from Electric Counterpoint

Essay Question- Melody Melodies are made up of motifs/cells They are repeated and looped Live guitars play the resultant melody Interlocking melodies- four guitar canon Motifs grow slowly, notes added

Essay Question- Harmony/Tonality Opening is ambiguous Bass defines key at Bar 33 (E minor) Frequent changes between E minor and C minor Could be seen as modal – no D sharps, Aeolian mode

Essay Question- Texture Main texture is contrapuntal Broken chords as accompaniment, built up in layers Once all parts in, texture is fairly constant, repeating patterns Texture thins out towards the end- guitars 5/7 drop out Bass fades away

Essay Question- Structure Two main sections followed by a coda Could be described as ternary form Main sections divided and defined by changes of key/texture Begins in tonal ambiguity, key becomes defined as bass enters- more developed

Essay Questions- Instrumentation 1 live guitar, 7 guitars and two bass guitars in total All instrumental parts recorded and played as a backing track Live guitar would play over the top and play main melody Would be performed with backing track and one lead live guitarist, an ensemble with himself Repeated tape loops that develop

Reich Background Steve Reich was a composer of Minimalism He composed the Electric Counterpoint in 1987 He would loop recordings on tapes and relied on rhythmic complexity to make sure that the repetition was still interesting
