Steve Reich, a Minimalist composer and artist, has been composing music since he was about 14 years old (Morrison). Upon entering Cornell at 16 years of age, Reich studied philosophy- focusing specific attention to the compositions of Paul Wittgenstein (Morrison). Wittgenstein was involved in a serious accident, leaving him with just his left arm, and so created piano arrangements designed to be played with one hand (Oram). Returning to Reich, he developed the use of repeating patterns in his…

Music of the Third Reich During the Nazi regime, Hitler and his party members used propaganda as an integral method to promote the philosophies of the Third Reich.

Robert Reich, came to Western Kentucky University to speak on the state of our economy. Reich began by discussing how the unemployment rate is down, the stock market is up, and there appears to be economic growth; yet, people are still unhappy (Reich, 2017).

This indicator takes into account those who are of working age and have jobs. Reich…

into her crowd, and began. "Good evening, my comrades, it is truly pleasure to see you all before me. We gather proudly here at this conference today to hear of our revolutionary ideas, crafted by our best minds. Yet the German Empire, the 2nd Reich, does not wish for us to do so. It appears, at least as of the past, that Emperor Wilhelm wants to surely silence any voices that do not flatter his entirety, which he somehow demands from all. A tad immature, no?" The crowd roared with laughter,…

Much like any other work which serves to make art from others’ suffering, Different Trains is fraught with danger, yet Reich courts this danger with his decision to attempt a sort of resolution within the piece. The New York Times says it best: Different Trains is “a work of such astonishing originality that breakthrough seems the only possible description…..possesses an…

Hitler also kept the mass murder under low profile from the Allies. The growth of anti-Semitism was more prevalent and lead to a lack of public support, giving the Allied forces less…
