currentmusicology-5056	Scherzinger, Martin	Curious Intersections, Uncommon Magic: Steve Reich’s It’s Gonna Rain	2005	38	.pdf	application/pdf	18748	799	53	Strikingly, Reich's emphasis on the uncommon magic of process music, its mysteries and its ability to put all within listening range into a state of ecstasy (2002:21, 35, 82), though seemingly at odds with the matter-of-fact immediacy of minimalism, also resonates with the moment of illumina­ tion and transcendence Michael Fried identifies in the work of minimalist artworks in 1966. Compare also Fried's juxtaposition of depersonalized directness and transcendence with Reich's description of performances of process music: the pleasure I get from playing is not the pleasure of expressing myself, but of subjugating myself to the music and experiencing the ecstasy that comes from being a part of it (Reich 2002:82).	cache/currentmusicology-5056.pdf	txt/currentmusicology-5056.txt
