You Tube Theology

Professor Ben Quash interviews the legendary American contemporary composer Steve Reich.  They discuss the profound role of the Bible in transforming both the subject matter and the style of Reich's music, reflecting especially on his settings of the Abraham story, the episode of Jacob’s ladder, and texts from the Psalms.

This film is part of a series of films called 'Creative Conversations’. In these conversations, living artists working in a variety of different artistic media discuss how the Bible's legacies of visual and theological interpretation operate as a vital resource for their own creativity.
