What's more fun than celebrating your own birthday? Celebrating other people's birthdays! Well, maybe not really... but we've decided to start highlighting composers during their birth months. Many cool composers were born in October- way too many to list in one blog post, so we're starting off our inaugural birthday month with three of our favorite composers: George Crumb, Steve Reich, and Kaija Saariaho. We hope you'll take a minute to discover these living composers if you haven't already or to enjoy listening to their music again if you're already familiar with them.
George Crumb's Makrokosmos I:
Kaija Saariaho's Petals:
The beginning of Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians:
