  • Proverb es una composición musical de Steve Reich para tres sopranos, dos tenores, dos vibráfonos y dos órganos eléctricos . Utiliza un texto de Ludwig Wittgenstein de 1946, publicado en Culture and Value . ​ Fue escrita en 1995 y originalmente estaba pensada para The Proms y el Festival de Música Antigua de Utrecht . Fue estrenada en el Alice Tully Hall en Nueva York el 10 de febrero de 1996 por Theatre of Voices con Paul Hillier, a quien está dedicada la pieza. ​ Proverb fue escrita durante un período en el que Reich estaba experimentando con la "melodía del habla", y está influenciado por el período que Reich pasó trabajando en la ópera The Cave con Paul Hillier y cantantes con una sólida formación en polifonía medieval. Esto es especialmente evidente en las dos partes de tenor, que rinden homenaje a Pérotin y el organum en su uso de modos rítmicos y puntos de pedal . El texto es: "¡Qué pequeño pensamiento se necesita para llenar toda una vida!" Este texto es una excelente explicación de la pieza en sí, así como quizás de la carrera de Reich, gran parte de ella dedicada a explorar el minimalismo . La melodía es presentada primero por una voz de soprano solista, cantando una larga línea lírica. Esta melodía y texto originales se repiten a lo largo de la pieza en sucesivos cánones al unísono, aumentando gradualmente en longitud, pero no estrictamente,​ e intercalados con duetos de tenores que vocalizan sobre el sonido de la vocal predominante. La pieza está principalmente en si menor armónico, con una sección central en mi bemol menor. En esta parte central, la melodía se invierte con cierto conflicto resultante entre las notas principales naturales y aplanadas, y el canon se interrumpe tanto por un comienzo en falso como por un interludio de tenor. El regreso al área clave de inicio marca el inicio del canon final, y una unión de ideas de soprano y tenor, hasta que al final el texto se repite en una melodía transformada con acompañamiento de acordes. Desde el principio, Reich utiliza una mezcla de compases que varían casi continuamente entre longitudes de 4 a 9 corcheas. Comienzan a surgir agrupaciones de longitudes de barra y luego los cambios en este tejido subyacente sirven para definir secciones, como los organa tenor y el falso canon. El trabajo dura aproximadamente 14 minutos. Proverb es una de las obras de Steve Reich que ha sido remezclada por músicos electrónicos. También es la inspiración para un baile que se estrenó en el Barbican Centre de Londres en septiembre de 2006. ​ Desempeña un papel importante en la novela Orfeo de 2014 de Richard Powers . Este trabajo musical ha sido bien recibido por la crítica. ​ (es)

  • Proverb is a musical composition by Steve Reich for three sopranos, two tenors, two vibraphones, and two electric organs. It sets a text by Ludwig Wittgenstein from the year 1946 and published in Culture and Value. It was written in 1995 and was originally intended for The Proms and the Utrecht Early Music Festival. It was premiered at Alice Tully Hall in New York City on February 10, 1996 by Theatre of Voices with Paul Hillier, to whom the piece is dedicated. Proverb was written during a period when Reich was experimenting with "speech melody", and is influenced by the period Reich spent working on The Cave with Paul Hillier and singers with a strong background in medieval polyphony. This is especially apparent in the two tenor parts, which pay homage to Pérotin and organum in their use of rhythmic modes and pedal points. The text is: "How small a thought it takes to fill a whole life!" This text can be seen as explanation of the piece itself, as well as perhaps Reich's career, much of it spent exploring minimalism. The melody is first presented by a solo soprano voice, singing a long lyric line. This original melody and text are repeated throughout the piece in successive unison canons, gradually augmenting in length but not strictly, and interspersed with tenor duets that vocalise on the prevailing vowel sound. The piece is primarily in harmonic B minor, with a central section in E flat minor. In this central part, the melody is inverted with some resulting conflict between natural and flattened leading notes, and the canon is interrupted by both a false start and a tenor interlude. The return to the home key area marks the start of the final canon, and a joining of both soprano and tenor ideas, until at the end the text is restated to a transformed melody with chordal accompaniment. From the start Reich uses a mixture of time signatures that vary almost continuously between lengths of 4 to 9 quavers. Groupings of bar lengths begin to emerge and then changes in this underlying fabric serve to define sections, such as the tenor organa and the false canon. The work is approximately 14 minutes long. Proverb is one of a number of Reich's works which has been remixed by electronic musicians. It is also the inspiration for a dance which was premiered at London's Barbican Centre in September 2006. It plays an important role in Richard Powers's 2014 novel Orfeo. The work has been well received by critics. It has been remixed, notably, by Nobukazu Takemura on the Reich Remixed album. (en)
