  • This is a drawing of sheet music titled "Clapping Music for Two Performers." The image displays a sequence of musical notations for two individuals to perform by clapping. Instructions at the bottom explain how the performance should commence in unison at bar one. It details the structure and pattern of measures, with one performer keeping a steady rhythm while the other shifts the pattern. The performers choose the clapping sound, aiming to blend their parts for a unified aural experience. The piece is credited to Steve Reich, dated December 1972 and reproduced in 1978.

  • This is a photograph of a handwritten score. The image features the title "PENDULUM MUSIC" prominently at the top, followed by a subtitle indicating this piece is intended "FOR MICROPHONES, AMPLIFIERS SPEAKERS AND PERFORMERS." Below, there is a detailed description of the piece's performance instructions, explaining how microphones should be set up to swing like pendulums, how amplifiers should be tuned to create feedback, and how performers should release and allow the microphones to swing. The text instructs that the performance involves allowing these pendulums to naturally come to rest, concluding when a performer turns off the amplifiers. The piece is signed at the bottom by "Steve Reich," with a notation of dates suggesting the original and subsequent revisions.
