Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on September 16, 2006.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ...that Proverb, a piece by Steve Reich, was influenced both by minimalist techniques and medieval polyphony?

GA stuff[edit]

I failed this not because it's a bad article, but because it's essentially a stub. A decent start, but not up to GA level. Amongst the criteria, it doesn't really adequately explain a number of the terms it uses (no short description of hocket? No overview of the "explanation" of Reich's career?), and it's not very broad - it keeps it short and simple when a lot more could probably be said, such as with the remixes and its place within Reich's other work. Keep going, though. While there's a ways to go, I think this could turn into a good article. --badlydrawnjeff talk 01:17, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've added some information about the structure of the work. I've also removed the reference to hocket as it is inaccurate; the homage is to organum. I did a final year dissertation on this at university, so I might add more later. Daniel Rollison (talk) 00:27, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
