Terry Riley - In C

In C is held to be the first minimalist piece of music. Originally a reaction to the seralism style of composition it went on to become the most popular form of experimental music in the late twentieth century.

The idea of using minimal resources to make music is particularly useful in workshops where participants may have limited technique. We will be rehearsing and performing In C so download all parts here.

Here is a good (if a bit blurred) version of In C from Youtube. If you search around you can hear other performances.
