Ostinaut

composed by Jason Charney

Amish community worship includes singing from the Ausbund, a 16th c. collection of hymns. The book contains no musical notation, only texts from the old Swiss Anabaptists. The tunes are passed orally in true folk tradition, generation to generation.

In practice, each hymn begins with a call from the Vorsänger, and the entire congregation responds - singing loud and slow.

Ausbund

The fifth movement from Elori Saxl's "The Blue of Distance" - premiered by Mind on Fire, May 2018

Memory Of Blue

Sky Macklay, composer

Performed by Mind on Fire on April 11 at 2640 Space -

"In 1825, British conductor George Thomas Smart traveled across Europe and compared his A = 423.5hz tuning fork to the tuning of every musical group he could find. Some ensembles were perfectly in tune with his tuning fork, but others, especially around Vienna, were quite a bit higher and closer to today’s standard A = 440hz. Microvariations is a fast- forward and transcontinental sonic truncation and fantasy on Smart’s journey."
