Steve Reich is a composer born on October 3, 1936 in New York City, USA. He studied composition privately with Hall Overton and later attended Juilliard School to study with William Bergsma and Vincent Persichetti. Reich then pursued his master's degree in composition at Mills College under the guidance of Luciano Berio and Darius Milhaud.
Inspired by Terry Riley's minimalist works, Reich began creating his own compositions using simple musical patterns combined in a slowly-shifting manner. His first major work, "It's Gonna Rain..." was written in 1965. Over time, he explored different musical processes such as augmentation to create more intricate pieces.
Reich's mother is June Carroll, a Broadway singer and lyricist.

“Music for Ensemble and Orchestra is an extension of the Baroque concerto grosso where there is more than one soloist,” the composer continues. “Here there are twenty soloists—all regular members of the orchestra, including the first stand strings and winds, as well as two vibraphones and two pianos. The piece is in five movements, though the tempo never changes, only the note value of the constant pulse in the pianos. Thus, an arch form: sixteenths, eighths, quarters, eighths, sixteenths. Music for Ensemble and Orchestra is modeled on my Runner, which has the same five movement form.”
