1-Music for 18 Musicians (Steve Reich - 1978)
2-Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven (Godspeed You! Black Emperor - 2000)
4 - Midnight Marauders (A Tribe Called Quest - 1993)

6-Bitches Brew (Miles Davis - 1970)
7-Remain in Light (Talking Heads - 1980)
8-In C (Terry Riley - 1964)
Score:
Instructions:
"All performers play from the same page of 53 melodic patterns played in sequence.
Any number of any kind of instruments can play. A group of about 35 is desired if
possible but smaller or larger groups will work. If vocalist(s) join in they can use any
vowel and consonant sounds they like.
Patterns are to be played consecutively with each performer having the freedom to
determine how many times he or she will repeat each pattern before moving on to
the next. There is no fixed rule as to the number of repetitions a pattern may have,
however, since performances normally average between 45 minutes and an hour and
a half, it can be assumed that one would repeat each pattern from somewhere
between 45 seconds and a minute and a half or longer..."
