Steve Reich, the great American contemporary composer, provided this program note about his work Different Trains: “The idea for the piece came from my childhood. When I was one year old my parents separated. My singer, song-writer mother moved to Los Angeles and my attorney father stayed in New York. Since they arranged divided custody, I travelled back and forth by train frequently between New York and Los Angeles from 1939 to 1942 accompanied by my governess. While the trips were exciting and romantic at the time I now look back and think that, if I had been in Europe during this period, as a Jew I would have had to ride very different trains. With this in mind I wanted to make a piece that would accurately reflect the whole situation.” Reich went about this piece in a completely innovative way: he recorded voices and then created the musical material for the piece out of the voices themselves, something that had never been done before. Therefore, the text and music material were integrated in a groundbreaking way, and the results are at times unbearably moving. This is a piece that has captured listeners attention in a way that is relatively rare for contemporary music, and it is a piece of immense power and depth. I have always been fascinated by this piece and have wanted to perform an orchestral version of it, but I never have been able to cover it on the show. That is, until AJ contributed enough to my fundraiser last year before the election to sponsor a piece, and he chose Reich's Different Trains. Today we'll talk a bit about Steve Reich generally for those of you unfamiliar with him, and then we'll tackle this remarkable and unique piece in all of its creativity and profound communication. Join us!
For 60 years, New York composer Steve Reich has been one of classical music's most celebrated revolutionaries. Pioneering minimalism in the 1960s, a musical style based on repetition and shifting rhythms, his strange experiments with cassette tape led to orchestral masterpieces – now performed around the world. His career has not only helped define the latest era of classical music, but had an enormous influence on pop, rock and electronica. He has helped shape 20th Century music in a way few can claim to match. To mark 60 years since his first major piece,1965's It's Gonna Rain, he takes Alastair Shuttleworth through the process and stories behind some of his greatest works, including Clapping Music, Different Trains and City Life. He also reflects on his legacy, his plans for the future and what, at the age of 88, still inspires him to compose

Bajo el contexto inicial de las artes plásticas se produce de modo natural la traslación, o mejor la ampliación, al arte de la música. Como en otras artes, también en la creación musical se impone esa idea del ‘menos es más'.

"I was intrigued by the snippets of speech and coffee machine noises - there's something very global and universal about them. I wanted to decontextualise them into a Glass / Reich kind of setting. "Koyaanisqatsi" crossed my mind, as did "Different Trains". Ebow was abused. Aside from electric guitar, all the other sounds are sampled or processed from the field recording."

Cellist and composer Peter Gregson joins Jess from LA. They share some of their favourite tracks and new discoveries, including Steve Reich's Different Trains, a special recording of Schubert's String Quintet, Bach's Mass in B minor, and songs by Eva Cassidy and Bon Iver.
Between 1988 and 2010, Steve Reich composed three string quartets – Different Trains, Triple Quartet and WTC 9/11. Deutsche Grammophon now presents this trilogy of works for the first time on one album, in definitive new recordings from the Mivos Quartet. Hailed by The Chicago Reader as “one of America's most daring and ferocious new-music ensembles”, the Mivos players developed their interpretations of the three quartets – inspired by the music of speech, echoes of Bartók and the events of a day transformed by terror – in close collaboration with the composer.

Steve Reich is a legendary composer who was one of the pioneers of minimalism. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Music, and the New York Times called him “America's greatest living composer.” I had the incredible honor of getting to speak to Steve Reich about his piece Different Trains, written for string quartet and pre-recorded performance tape. It was first performed in 1988 by the Kronos Quartet, and they released a recording of it in 1989, which won the Grammy for Best Classical Contemporary Composition. Different Trains is a piece about World War II and the Holocaust. It's made up of three movements: America – Before the War, Europe – During the War, and After the War. For this episode, Steve Reich breaks down the first movement, which was inspired by his own childhood experiences. For more, visit songexploder.net/steve-reich
Steve Reich, ganador de la Medalla de Oro de la Academia Americana de las Artes y Letras, es considerado como uno mejores compositores estadounidenses vivos. Su obra Trenes diferentes para cuarteto de cuerda y cinta que se estreno un día como hoy hace 33 años, es una obra maestra del Siglo XX. El «New York Times» la consideró como «un trabajo de tan asombrosa originalidad que un gran descubrimiento parece la única descripción posible... posee un impacto emocional absolutamente horrendo». La grabación del Kronos Quartet de Different Trains consiguió el Premio Grammy a la «Mejor composición contemporánea clásica» en 1990. Está basada en recuerdos de niñez del compositor cuando viajaba en tren desde Nueva York a California en los años 40 y, en el mismo tiempo, en Europa, los trenes del Holocausto, viajaban hacia la muerte. La obra está compuesta en tres partes: I- América, antes de la guerra, II- Europa, durante la guerra, III- Después de la guerra, donde grabaciones de voces originales de los supervivientes de los campos exterminios están entremezcladas con los silbatos de trenes y de música pre-grabada usando así programas digitalizados, todo un hito en la historia de la música clásica. Hoy escucharemos un fragmento de la 3era parte: Después de la guerra, de manos del Grupo Instrumental Siglo XX.

“There is a history of psychoanalysis and its relationship with political thought and even political action. There is clearly quite a strong historical tradition of a sort of rebelliousness on the part of psychoanalysis or at least a challenge to social mores, which I see as beginning right from the start and certainly as early as Freud’s 1908 paper on ‘Civilized’ Sexual Morality. He has the words ‘civilized’ in inverted commas because what he’s using psychoanalysis for there is to say something deeply hypocritical about the sexual mores of his day and that this is causing trouble.” Description: Dr. Harvey Schwartz welcomes Professor Stephen Frosh. Stephen Frosh is a Professor in the Department of Psychosocial Studies (which he founded) at Birkbeck, University of London. He was Pro-Vice-Master of Birkbeck from 2003 to 2017, a senior management position in which he was responsible at various times for teaching and learning, research and internationalisation in the university. Stephen’s background is in academic and clinical psychology, and he was a consultant clinical psychologist at the Tavistock Clinic. He is a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences, Academic Associate at the British Psychoanalytical Society, a founding member of the Association of Psycho-social studies, and an Honorary Member of the Institute of Group Analysis. As you will hear in today’s conversation Stephen is remarkably well versed in the psychoanalytic literature. We discuss Stephen´s contention that the “unconscious is barbaric,” that Freud’s famous fort-da observation may be meaningfully applied to the place of psychoanalysis in our culture and that Steven Reich’s musical piece “Different Trains” serves as a profound commentary on the witnessing of trauma. Key takeaways: [9:15] Stephen explains the meaning of his quote “The unconscious of psychoanalysis is barbaric.” [12:30] Stephen shares his view on Freud as a democrat. [15:34] Stephen talks about the political tension that psychoanalysts went through in South America. [16:45] Stephen comments on the alliance between Blacks and Jews, who were both characterized by the colonials as barbaric. [19:16] The relationship between psychoanalysis and social movements. [20:05] Stephen talks about the structure of traditional Freudian psychoanalysis and how powerful it was for its time. [22:54] Freud’s aspiration was to bring into reason that which was unreasonable and could cause damage, not to destroy it but, on the contrary, to put it to good use. [24:22] Stephen talks about fort-da as an example of how psychoanalysis works in relation to culture. [28:02] Stephen discusses how Freud talked about and experienced the human tendency of repeating disturbing and even traumatic events. [32:37] The repetition compulsion : Even when you think a piece of work is done it finds some way to come back. [34:20] Stephen talks about the question of witnessing. [36:05] The history of trauma. [38:15] Stephen shares the impact of being listened to but not heard on a victim of trauma. [42:12] Stephen shares his reflections on a particular piece of music as they relate to the meaning of witnessing and trauma that is included in his most recent book: Those who come after. [48:06] Stephen talks about himself and what brought him to the point where he is today. [53:55] Where we are today in regards to COVID according to Stephen.

Reading the introduction to the very fine book HHhH by Laurent Binet. I have a go of reading just two pages, after which I do speak about those two pages and what it leaves me thinking. I've started adding sounds and music to these Podcasts, in this episode I use a very small part of Steve Reich's amazing and brilliant Different Trains, Yidish WWII folk song and the sound of wartime trams from the BBC sounds library. ...and as always the very brief section of Living Too Late by The Fall is used.

Steve Reich undoubtedly stands as one of America’s most influential composers. He also admits to being one of the most influenced musicians of his generation, combining the disparate sounds of jazz, African drumming, American experimentalism, and more. In Different Trains, written in 1988 and scored for string quartet and pre-recorded tape, Reich adds a deeply personal narrative to this melange of musical influence and creates one of his most affecting musical statements. This episode features performances by Caroline Shaw and Ben Russell, violinists; Nadia Sirota, violist; and Clarice Jensen, cellist, and interviews with Jensen, Shaw and Reich himself. The music was recorded on September 11, 2012; hear the complete show. Steve Reich’s Different Trains was featured on LPR Live by permission from Boosey & Hawkes.

As part of the British music season on Radio 3, poets from across the UK reveal their favourite music. Sean O'Brien is a perfect choice for Private Passions because his poems capture the musical soundscapes of the north-east of England where he lives: the cries of gulls, the wash of the sea, the rumble of trains. In fact he's obsessed by trains, and for O'Brien, like many other poets, journeys by train are an inspiration and a form of meditation. So one of his choices is Steve Reich's hypnotic work Different Trains, in which the composer mixes fragments of train whistles and announcements. Sean O'Brien's other choices include Little Feat, Schubert, Vaughan Williams, Debussy's La Mer, and Prokofiev's film music for Eisenstein's Alexander Nevsky, a film he first saw when skiving off games as a 16-year-old. He used to be a drummer in a rock band and likes to listen to everything very loud, so Miles Davies is the perfect soundtrack to Sunday mornings ... Michael Berkeley's guest Sean O'Brien reveals his Private Passions.
Matthew Herbert, songwriter and electronic music producer, reflects on the continuing relevance of Steve Reich's seminal 1988 piece for string quartet and tape, where recorded speech leads the melodic lines to create a remarkable and evocative atmosphere.
