...exactly. The focus of the Carnegie Hall audience's turmoil was Steve Reich's Four Organs, a deceptively simple, 24-minute work for four electric organs and maracas whose musical substance is but a single six-note chord repeated insistently in varying patterns. In 1973, when Four Organs was performed in New York City by members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Reich's style of music, called minimalism, was hardly known outside a few SoHo lofts...

Hegel Wilber's grasp on the bannister of western social science...
