The physical limitations of the metallophone dictate the length of the notes sounded by theglockenspiel, marimba, and other instruments in this composer's Music for Mallet Instruments,Voices and Organ. Three string quartets join in a second movement canon before splitting intodissonant groups again in the third in his Triple Quartet. He composed a piece in which two peopleclap at slightly different (*) tempos, creating shifting periods of unity and dissonance. That piece,Clapping Music, exemplifies his technique of "phasing." He used NORAD recordings in WTC 9/11 andrecorded a Pentacostal preacher for Its Gonna Rain. He recorded his governess, a Pullman porter, andHolocaust survivors for another project. For 10 points, name this minimalist composer of Different Trains.
