	DESERT MOUNTAIN MUSIC TOGETHER
		We believe that music ability is as much a basic life skill as walking or talking, and that all children can achieve basic competence in music provided their early music environment is rich.
		Music Together classes are based on the idea that making music with children, in the family, and in a community of families......
		Children experience the various macro and micro beats that are in music, experiment with their vocal mechanisms in high and low ranges, learn to use their upper and lower adjustments to sing, and repeat both rhythm patterns and tonal patterns in a variety of meters and modalities.

	Boosey and Hawkes: The home of contemporary music
		Thus the overall harmonic movement of The Desert Music is from the possibility of a D dorian minor center to more and more ambiguity, until in the third movement, where the text would seem to suggest it, there is no clear harmonic center at all.
		The pulse which begins and ends The Desert Music and recurs throughout it is significant both musically and as a kind of wordless response to and commentary on the text itself.
		Musically it presents the harmonic cycles of the movements as a kind of pulsing chorale.

		My grandparents moved to the desert almost three decades ago, before country clubs and resorts had turned all available expanses of dry Indian land into empty lots waiting to be developed.
		When I hear the desert, I hear all these natural, ambient whispers and rumblings too, but I also hear the audio desert of my grandparents: the mechanized spray of sprinklers, the hushed baritone voices of TV golf announcers echoing throughout their house.
		Van Dyke once characterized the desert as a place where "everything within in its borders seems fighting to maintain itself against destroying forces." The desert music of my grandparents now reflects that fight: the incessant anxious hum of my grandmother as she talks to herself, the exhaling hiss of my grandfather’s dialysis machine.

		The desert is associated with hallucinations and insanity.
		The Idea of the Desert: "...Finally, there is another desert that is central to The Desert Music: White Sands and Alamagordo in New Mexico, where weapons of the most intense and sophisticated sort are constantly being develloped and tested.
		Music and Text: "...All pieces with texts - operas, cantatas, whatever - have, in my opinion, to work first simply as pieces of music that one listens to with eyes closed, without understanding a word.

		Palm Desert barely shows you any of that, though, just ghostly expanses of single-story homes and undeveloped desert populated by flowering bundles of brittle brush, all set against blankets of electric blue sky and inflamed white clouds.
		The Palm Desert it shows is the Palm Desert of “Palm Desert,” a song written by Van Dyke Parks in 1968 for his classic album of Southern California surrealism, Song Cycle (Warner Bros.).
		Some of desert modernism’s greatest triumphs, including the newly revamped Spa Hotel, were built on land once zoned as Section 14, a square mile of Indian land used as a post-WW2 African-American and Latino reservation until the city bulldozed it in 1966.

		The orchestral recording of The Desert Music gives you Reich's society colored in these wonderful huge dense sounds, which to most of his listeners is almost alien to their experience with his music, although most fulfilling in so many changing ways.
		The density of the music is an interleving bundle of soundfibers, a civilization that lives and breathes.
		The Desert Music is Reich's first effort to really compose for symphony orchestra, and he seems to be trying to step into other composers' shoes, to write a great symphonic work in the tradition of so many choral-orchestral masterpieces.

	Justin Adams: Desert Road - PopMatters Music Review
		He refocused on his early life's observations and impressions of music in other places, where music is regarded as a natural component of daily life and is supported by the belief that music is created and played primarily for the sake of the music.
		Pushed with African percussion and accents (bells, scrapers, finger cymbals, and even a cardboard box), Adams' desert music is often drawn from the deep well of blues that people now say came from Mali, blended with North and West African music and dipped with electronic ambience.
		Desert Road is a rich and promising invention that provides a thoughtful atmosphere when considering some of the many moods of a complex and distant place.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Music: Steve Reich: Tehillim; The Desert Music, Alan Pierson, CD
		Once grouped with Philip Glass and the other reductivist composers who came to the fore in the 1960s, Reich had moved on to large-scale works for chamber ensembles that were far grander in size and scope than his earliest compositions.
		Tehillim (1981) and The Desert Music (1984, here in a 2001 revision) are Reich's most elaborate pieces from this period, featuring the composer's characteristic pulsating rhythms and slowly shifting harmonies -- a musical language that arrived with Reich's breakthrough Drumming from 1971 and grew with 1976's Music for 18 Musicians.
		Both works have been recorded before: The Desert Music was originally released on Nonesuch in 1985 and Tehillim on ECM in '82.

	classical music - andante - steve reich: tehillim and the desert music
		We know now that a composer's own performance or recording of his or her work isn't necessarily definitive — Stravinsky is but the most famous example of a composer who wasn't the best conductor of his work.
		Most people who have heard Reich's music would characterize it in general as energetic, rhythmically challenging and often exciting — but "emotional" is not a word that would normally come to mind.
		The Desert Music is a more emotionally ambiguous score, with a particularly elliptical text selected from poems by William Carlos Williams.

		The Desert Music sounds somewhat different here than in the premiere Nonesuch recording by Michael Tilson Thomas with the Brooklyn Philharmonic and Chorus, the ensembles it was written for.
		It's becoming obvious that Reich's music will survive his own performing career and lifetime, and here is an example of a disc with no performing ties to the composer which is still extremely satisfying.
		If you have an earlier rec ording of The Desert Music, this one is different, and by now, so long after the first recorded version, this is the masterful composer's favorite himself.

	ocotillo's desert garden: music
		I confess I have a deep rooted aversion to a certain sort of praise and worship music prevalent in many churches.
		I tried to stay away from the house as much as possible, but I often I had to be in the vicinity, because someone was dropping off stuff we needed "between 8 -12" (you know how those things go).
		As much as I hate to admit it music is very important to me. According to Gibbs and Bolger (in their very nice observational work of the Emerging Church...appropriately titled The Emerging Churches) music is often secondary or vastly different in E-churches in the UK and throughout the US.

	Various Artists: Festival in the Desert - PopMatters Music Review
		Not only was it successful in terms of international artists as well as audience who attended, but the fact that the obvious logistics of staging a festival in a remote region of the Sahara and have it exist with such a roster of amazing talent performing was incredible, to say the least.
		Something like one hears in the music of Tuva, where the feel of riding on horseback or the sound of horses is a recurring theme.
		There is a wonderful mix of musical artists who are considered "superstars" on the international music scene (such as Mali's Oumou Sangare and Ali Farka Toure and France's Lo'Jo) and artists who, although quite well known in their own countries, are perhaps lesser known on the "world music" stage.
