Stephen Michael Reich, born on October 3, 1936, is an American composer, pianist, and percussionist recognized for his significant contributions to minimal music. Gaining fame in the mid to late 1960s, his works feature repetitive musical figures, slow harmonic rhythms, and canons. Reich pioneered phase patterns through tape loops in early compositions like 'It's Gonna Rain' and 'Come Out.' His 1978 piece 'Music for 18 Musicians' marked a milestone in minimalist music. In the 1980s, he integrated historical themes and Jewish motifs into his work, notably in 'Different Trains' (1988).
