kenjariMinimalists
by K. Robert Schwartz
This book is a breezy, almost chatty look at the major minimalist composers, covering Terry Riley, LaMonte Young, Steve Reich, and Philip Glass, with shorter sections on John Adams, Meredith Monk, Louis Andriessen, Michael Nyman, and Arvo Part. Minimalists is a decent overview and introduction to the genre and its main proponents, however, it doesn't go beyond that. It would be a decent place to start, but there is little depth or analysis here.
