He composed a work for jazz guitarist Pat Metheny, Electric Counterpoint, and recently won the Pulitzer Prize for Double Sextet. One of his early works features women's voices in the second and fourth sections in addition to a battery of percussion, that work is the last of his to employ phasing. Â Another work of his has thirteen sections separated by a vibraphone chime, the inner eleven of which each elaborate on a chord found in the opening and closing (*) "Pulses" sections. Â Â He may be best known for a three-movement work in which tape-recorded voices are used to form the basis of melodies played by string quartet; that work compares a certain transportation mode as experienced in prewar and postwar America and the Holocaust. Â For 10 points, name this Minimalist composer of Drumming, Music For 18 Musicians, and Different Trains.
