Steve Reich, considered to be one of the four major minimalists in American music, is best known for his 20th-century classical innovations with phases, processes, counterpoints, and pulses. That's the synopsis, but Reich, like most any musician worth your time, means more than four techniques spread over four decades. Reich and Pearl's parallel paths meet in Daniel Variations: Conceived after a conversation between Pearl's father and Reich and commissioned in part by the Daniel Pearl Foundation, "which is dedicated to cross-cultural understanding and music," Daniel Variations is the latest in a long line of Reich pieces to combine massed voices and meticulous instrumentation. Sections one and three use lines from a conversation between Nebuchadnezzar the Great- a Babylonian ruler who, according to Jewish and Christian texts, destroyed Jerusalem- and Daniel, who became his adviser.

Reich's Daniel Variations grew out of a commission in memory of Daniel Pearl, the reporter for The Wall Street Journal who was kidnapped and murdered in Pakistan by Jihadi extremists in 2002. The work is scored for a chorus of sopranos, tenors, and chamber ensemble and uses as its texts brief quotes by Pearl and from the Book of Daniel. It inhabits very much the same soundworld as Reich's 1984 The Desert Music for chorus and orchestra: rhythmically charged pulsing chords; dense, but colorful harmonies; and abrupt modulations and tempo changes
