In 1965, American composer Steve Reich wrote a composition called It's Gonna Rain. The piece was a major landmark for the development of the minimalist style of music.
According to Wikipedia:
The source material of *It's Gonna Rain* consists entirely of a tape recording made in 1964 at San Francisco's Union Square. In the recording, an African American Pentecostal preacher, Brother Walter, rails about the end of the world, while accompanying background noises, including the sound of a pigeon taking flight, are heard. The piece opens with the story of Noah, and the phrase "It's Gonna Rain" is repeated and eventually looped throughout the first half of the piece.
