  • Dame Evelyn plays "Clapping Music" by Steve Reich. This short comes from assorted performances including "Hothouse 07" at Doncaster in the UK.
    SOme below comments ask what the "click" is that can be heard; it is yet another jam block, played with a foot pedal. The footage is comprised of multiple events and venues and times at which the piece has been performed but the same audio was used for the whole clip.

      Hi There Kartik (and many others), You're making the assumption that deafness is an On or Off condition which is untrue. Perhaps I might refer you to Evelyn's essay on her perspective? www.evelyn.co.uk/hearing-essay/.

    @user2699 16 лет назад +1

    This is Dame Evelyn's "arrangement" of Clapping Music. Mr. Reich always asks that the two parts sound as similar as possible in volume and timbre. Part of the aim of the piece was to eliminate the need to carry any instruments at all, and there is also the obvious reference to Flamenco (all of which is missed in an arrangement for instruments played with sticks). Clapping Music does not indicate one pattern "slowly drifting out of phase with another", unless it is performed poorly!

    No. I was the Show producer and her tech manager when these shots were taken, she pre-viewed this material. I have her full permission. Thx for watching out though.

  • @lowellwhitty
    @lowellwhitty 15 лет назад

    What are you talking about, she is playing the piece as two performers would.
    Her right hand is playing the primary pattern throughout the performance just as the first (clapping) performer is instructed. And with her left hand she is playing the permutations of that pattern as the second (clapping) performer would. while keeping dotted quarter note pulse in clave pedal. I don't know what you find wrong with this performance. Listen and you can hear the piece.

    Evelyn Glennie would be one of the few people in the world who can play this piece all by herself. That is some fearsome percussion skillz.

  • @mmckiver
    @mmckiver 17 лет назад +2

    I have the score since I'm working on a drum set adaptation, and in Steve Reich's notes he says that a time signature is not given to avoid any accenting other than the downbeat given by the performer that isn't phasing. The piece could be interpreted most easily as 12/8 or 6/4. 12/8 is more accurate than in 4/4 with triplets.

    If you watch the video of her talk at TED you will know why she plays any particular piece of music the way she does. She gave a vivid demonstration by playing the same piece as a "technician" and again as a "musician". In the music world technicians don't build brilliant careers as solo performers. Let's be thankful for this immensely talented MUSICIAN and really listen to her music.

  • @louthewatcher
    @louthewatcher 17 лет назад

    You have to remember something though, the piece is written for two people and she is performing it as one. That means playing the first line steady with one hand and changing the other line with the other. Not so easy.

    The only thing that matters with this amazing human being is her entertaining. She creates music and sound, but more importantly she performs. She has had a huge profound impact on me since i saw her perform Veni Veni Emmanuel, and that effect is far in a way more important then her ability to here.

  • @BenDaglish
    @BenDaglish 13 лет назад

    @ummagummas08 - Reich deliberately didn't put a time signature on the score, but it's written with 12 quavers to a bar, and the instructions talk about it being in 6/4, with a start count of six. Reich himself says he thinks of it in 3/2 but Evelyn's got a 12/8 thing going with that dotted-crotchet pulse, which makes it feel like a completely different piece. Marvellous, and dead hard.

  • @mafurock33

    I too first became aware of Evelyn Gennie at the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics and while I agree 100% with your sentiments I believe the worlds your are looking for are 'exciting' and 'inspiring'... 'expiring' indicates she is dying or something...

  • @mmckiver
    @mmckiver 17 лет назад

    I've got the Universal Edition, and it has Reich's Directions for Performance from December 1972, where he says, "It is for this reason that a time signature of 6/4 or 12/8 is not given - to avoid metrical accents." :)

    @Juneshowers you are mistaken, and obviously deaf....this IS clapping music, it's just that since there is ONE little extra note added in it (and it's a 4/4 pulse, when clapping music is in 3/8) it causes a different perception of the piece.....i've played this hundreds of times, it is engrained in my mind, and i can play it over several ostinato's (i have videos of it too) so i know that this is correct!

  • @jonnyeis
    @jonnyeis 15 лет назад

    when you have an experience like that considering it annoying and repetitive it serves you to take a look at more of steve reich's work, it is all about what's called phase shifts, taking a rhythm and shifting it, in this piece it is by one eight note until the piece has come full circle, you must try and fully understand what is happening to appreciate it, i can barely clap this with someone else rather than perform it by yourself!

  • @swazbuzzler
    @swazbuzzler 13 лет назад

    Interesting. I never thought of this as a solo piece. Still, though, the piece loses something in this format. One of the things about clapping is that no two claps, even by the same person, are exactly the same - it gives the piece a sort of bubbly quality that I think gets lost on the wood blocks.

  • @schwambly
    @schwambly 15 лет назад

    It was one tune. Of course it all sounded "all the same" as you say. But it wasn't the same. It was related, and similar, and harmonious. NOT the same.

  • @ZOB4
    @ZOB4 17 лет назад

    Good performance, I don't like that it was changed from hands to wood/temple blocks, that's not what Reich intended for the piece. But I guess if you really want to perform it live as a solo work, this is the next best thing to do. I would have liked to have seen it done more like Gavin Harrison's Drum Music or Cymbal music from Rhythmic Horizons, which is a multi-frame video of him performing all of the parts in different takes, played back simultaneously.

    The way she plays it doesn't sound like three groups of 2 quavers a La Reich. More like 2 groups of 3. But does that matter? Music is partly about intetpretation to create something slightly different. This is a hard enough piegce for a group. And she does a solo!
    Amazing.

    Harder? How many, no matter how piss-poor, musicians have you heard who don't really listen, too easily go off on their own, like people who speak in monologues, rather than dialogue? Her disability has left her with proprioception, drawing her attention there. If we of better hearing would cultivate feeling-listening we'd be well rewarded, aside from increasing potential in musicianship. Lucky you to have worked with her. I believe people here think she isn't deaf, cuz she speaks so clearly.
