Sometimes all it takes is simply clapping your hands to create complex yet deeply grooving rhythms. In keeping with the Festival theme “American Dreams,” a percussion quartet from the Lucerne Festival Contemporary Orchestra (LFCO) presents four works by Steve Reich, including his iconic Clapping Music and Drumming. One of the masterminds of American Minimalism, Reich sets simple motifs and rhythms in continuous loops, gradually shifting them against one another to create intricate polyrhythmic patterns with a mesmerizing flow.
