Tehillim is a composition by American composer Steve Reich, written in 1981. Title. The title comes from the Hebrew word for "psalms", and the work is the first to reflect Reich's Jewish heritage. It is in four parts, marked fast, fast, slow, and fast.
The three movements – fast, slow, fast – are played without pause. The tempo of the slow middle movement is exactly half that of the first movement, and the final movement resumes the tempo of the opening one.
