Was it from a Mass?

Sun. 5/31/09 10:43pm bethany:

Drew, you're close with your first inclination. The composer is English. But that's all I'm going to say. Will play again later in the show.

Sun. 5/31/09 10:43pm buckingham:

i would say like, Mauchaut, but it sound(ed)s maybe a little more dynamic or modern

Sun. 5/31/09 10:45pm Knit Brows:

This Schaefer piece is lulling me into a trance and I'm willingly following.

Sun. 5/31/09 11:33pm Jandek:

Hey Janek, I copyrighted my name and variants years back. Expect a letter from Corwood.

A Child Survivor.....

Sun. 5/31/09 11:39pm drew in carroll gardens:

what beautiful heart-felt music....

Sun. 5/31/09 11:40pm bethany:

Whoa, Drew. You're on some kind of sublime frequency tonight, because (as you will soon find out) your reference to the Titanic isn't apropos of nothing in particular.

Note to all: that is a big hint to the mystery of the evening. A big hint if not a dead giveaway.

Sun. 5/31/09 11:45pm drew in carroll gardens:

With all the Aves and Salves, I was thinking Mary (the Jesus Mommy). But you said 14th century. Jeez. Black Plague? That started in 1346.

I love this!

night!

Mon. 6/1/09 11:33am Paul Hubert:

I don't know if the Janek Schaefer installation made it across the Atlantic. I was fortunate to see it in Huddersfield in 2007 and spent quite a lot of time with it, as did some other people. It raised some interesting questions about music and sound art. The excerpt was very evocative, although I still haven't decided if it belongs amongst music!
