Music for 18 Musicians by Steve Reich, released in 1978. Longer than 3 minutes and worth the trip.

 

Video of a live performance, by Eighth Blackbird.

 

This version is recorded by one person, on electronic instruments, in 2020. Thoughts on Erik Hall’s contemporary rendition (music below) and also some background and commentary on the iconic Steve Reich composition as a whole.
