    Can you help?

    Can anybody help me to remember or find a piece of music, please. It is a minimilast piece and has a sound recording of an American pastor preaching his sermon. The phrase 'Right now, right now', is repeated through the piece. I though it was an early piece by Steve Reich, but it is definitely NOT Come Out or It's Gonna Rain. I first heard the piece on Radio 3 sometime last year and cannot for the life of me find out what it is. If anyone has any leads or ideas they would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    I'm pretty sure that it's John Adams's "Christian Zeal and Activity", which is the middle movement of "American Standard". The go-to recording of it is probably Edo de Waart's SFSO Nonesuch release which also features, "The Chairman Dances":

    Enjoy!

          Still fond of the 1973 live recording on Brian Eno's "Obscure" label. However, that used a quite different 'sonic found object'.
