music for 18
Reich's "Music for 18 Musicians" is one of my favorite pieces of music. Via (TypePad blogger and NYer music critic) Alex Ross comes news of Grand Valley State's new music ensemble's recording of 18, and this fantastic preview video that they've just posted on YouTube. I love the line "they turned the piece into somthing of a lifestyle."

It's one of the performance venues we play regularly for smaller ensemble. And yes, it's that building.
Quite neat to see this great video that happened where I'm familiar with.
Bravo for GVSU musicians!
