Described by music critic Alex Ross as "the most original musical
thinker of our time" and having received innumerable accolades in a
career spanning over fifty years, composer Steve Reich is
considered by many to be America's greatest contemporary composer.
His music, however, remains largely underresearched. Rethinking
Reich redresses this imbalance, providing a space for prominent and
emerging scholars to reassess the composer's contribution to music
in the twentieth century. Featuring fourteen tightly focused and
multifarious essays on various aspects of Reich's work-ranging from
analytical, aesthetic, and archival studies to sociocultural,
philosophical, and ethnomusicological reflections-this edited
volume reveals new insights, including those enabled by access to
the growing Steve Reich Collection at the Paul Sacher Foundation
archive, the premier institution for primary research on
twentieth-century and contemporary classical music. This volume
takes on the timely task of challenging the hegemony of Reich's own
articulate and convincing discourses on his music, as found in his
Writings on Music (OUP, 2002), and breaks new ground in the broader
field of minimalism studies.
