Encyclopedia > Four Organs

Four Organs is a work for four electric organs (hence the name) by Steve Reich.


The four organs, through the duration of the piece expound harmonically a dominant eleventh chord, dissecting the chord by playing parts of it sequentially, firstly taking one note or pitch out of the chord and playing it before the rest, then two, and so on, which emphasizes certain tones of the chord; at the climax of the work each tone sounds almost in sequence. The piece may be thought of as a giant V-I progression.



A continuous maraca beat serves to act as a rhythmic framework or reference for the chords to be placed upon.

Puramo's Korean Medicine Institute (2103 words)
He widely divided the human trunk containing the organs into the upper jiao and the lower jiao with respect to yin and yang, and then further divided the upper jiao into the upper jiao and the upper middle jiao, and the lower jiao into lower middle jiao and lower jiao.
It's important to understand that the four organs are assigned to their respective four jiaos not according to their anatomical location, but from the yin-yang viewpoint.
Therefore it was seen that only the four organs of lungs, pancreas, liver and kidneys are symbols of the body while the heart is a symbol of the spirit.
========= Yedam ========= (2655 words)
The first theoretical error found in Kwon's theory is that he interpreted the organ structure determined by the Five Element Theory's mutual generation and destruction concept that explains or relates to the excess and deficiency of four organs (lungs, spleen, liver, kidneys) as a real human organ structure.
The organ structure of Kwon's TEC results from the recognition of four organs (lungs, spleen, liver, kidneys) determined under the Five Element Theory's mutual generation and destruction relationships concept.
The kidneys, the mother organ of liver, becomes the second strongest organ, due to the excessive liver ; and, the spleen becomes the second weakest organ under the influence of the weakest lungs.
