Pulsing energy, spiritual resonance, ecstatic praise...
Recognised as Steve Reich’s first work exploring his Jewish heritage, Tehillim applies Reich’s distinctive, mesmerising style to the setting of Hebrew psalms for singers and ensemble.
Driven by the rhythm and meaning of the text, this vivid song of praise is accompanied by Reich’s iconic Clapping Music and his instrumental work Pulse.
Described by Spectator as ‘the word’s finest and most daring percussionist’, Colin Currie and his virtuosic ensemble are considered today’s definitive interpreters of Steve Reich’s music.
Part of Day of Psalms. Writer and artist Edmund de Waal curates a unique day celebrating the Psalms as songs of exile, diaspora, and devotion.
