Stephen Michael Reich Born October 3 1936 In New York City Is An American Composer. He Is A Pioneer Of Minimalism Although His Music Has Increasingly Deviated From A Purely Minimalist Style. Reich's Innovations Include Using Tape Loops To Create Phasing Patterns Examples Are His Early Compositions "It's Gonna Rain" And "Come Out" And The Use Of Processes To Create And Explore Musical Concepts For Instance "Pendulum Music" And ""Four Organs" . These Compositions Marked By Their Use Of Repetitive Figures And Phasing Effects Have Significantly Influenced Contemporary Music Especially That Of His Country. The Guardian Has Described Reich As One Of The Few Composers To Have "altered The Direction Of Musical History." Reich Often Cites Pérotin J.S. Bach Debussy And Stravinsky As Composers He Admires Whose Tradition He Wished As A Young Composer To Become Part Of. Jazz Is A Major Part Of The Formation Of Reich's Musical Style And Two Of The Earliest Influences On His Work Were Vocalists Ella Fitzgerald And Alfred Deller Whose Emphasis On The Artistic Capabilities Of The Voice Alone With Little Vibrato Or Other Alteration Was An Inspiration To His Earliest Works. John Coltrane's Style Which Reich Has Described As "playing A Lot Of Notes To Very Few Harmonies" Also Had An Impact Of Particular Interest Was The Album "Africa/Brass" Which "was Basically A Half-An-Hour In F."

In Different Trains, after each melody in the piece is introduced, usually by a single instrument (viola for women and cello for men), a recording of the spoken phrase from which the melody derives is played. The melody is then developed for a while, with the instruments playing along with the recording of the phrase or part of the phrase. The music for the strings makes extensive use of paradiddles rhythms, with alternating pitches instead of alternating drum sticking. In addition to speech, the piece includes recordings of train sounds, as well as of sirens and warning bells, and prerecorded multiple lines by the string quartet, thus effectively creating four quartets out of one.
The recorded speech that forms the basis for Different Trains is taken from interviews with people in the United States and Europe about the years leading up to, during, and immediately after World War II.
The third movement, After the War, features the Holocaust survivors talking about the years immediately following World War II, along with recordings of Lawrence Davis(a Pullman porter) and Reich's governess Virginia. There is a return to the American train sounds from the first movement.
