Sun. 5/31/09 10:39pm From: drew in carroll gardens

any hints? like which decade...whatever it is, it's gorgeous! I'm guessing the composer is English...

Sun. 5/31/09 10:40pm From: bethany

John Tavener?

Sun. 5/31/09 10:42pm From: Alias Christus

Was it from a Mass?

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

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

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

The problem is anyone in the 20th/2ist century can write in an earlier style for a given purpose...

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

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

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

Sun. 5/31/09 11:33pm From: drew in carroll gardens

apropos of nothing in particular, the last survivor of the Titanic died today....

Sun. 5/31/09 11:35pm From: G

She was 9 weeks old at that time, yep.

Sun. 5/31/09 11:37pm From: Shroud

A Child Survivor.....

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

what beautiful heart-felt music....

Sun. 5/31/09 11:40pm From: 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 From: drew in carroll gardens

thanks, kiddo! playing all those Tibetan instruments is doin' something to/for me....

Sun. 5/31/09 11:47pm From: coalhard

Herbert Howells?

Sun. 5/31/09 11:52pm From: G

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.

Sun. 5/31/09 11:53pm From: coalhard

I love this!

night!

Mon. 6/1/09 11:33am From: 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!
