Specialists in the arts or in cultural studies will appreciate this excellent collection ...Recommended * CHOICE * This volume 'rethinks Reich' both by drawing substantially on unexplored archive materials, and by approaching Reich's varied output from original and unexpected cultural perspectives. It represents a major contribution both to our understanding of Steve Reich and to the broader fields of post-1960 experimental and postmodern music. * Robert Adlington, Professor of Contemporary Music, University of Huddersfield * A book-length study of Steve Reich is long overdue, particularly one that critically and creatively engages his work -- as this book does, from the title onward -- beyond the bounds of the composer's own exegeses. The contributors' varied approaches constitute some the most exciting and insightful voices in contemporary music scholarship, commensurate with Reich's own complicated intersections with diverse musics, methods, and media. And because of Reich's ubiquity within contemporary art music as well as his eclectic inroads into popular culture, this volume will likely find its way onto the shelves of musicians, scholars, and fans alike. * Jeremy Grimshaw, Associate Dean, BYU College of Fine Arts and Communications, author of Draw a Straight Line and Follow It: The Music and Mysticism of La Monte Young *
