Incantation for tenor viola da gamba and electronics

Solo cello: Steuart Pincombe
Instrument: Carlo Antonio Testore - Milan, 1727

Continuo cello: Steuart Pincombe
Instrument: Anonymous - Germany, c. 1750

NOTE: I am generally opposed to the practice of recording chamber music without another person to make the experience real. This was just me messing around because I wanted to have my two cellos play together before I returned the Testore to the Jumpstart Foundation.

Antonio Vivaldi Violoncello Sonata IV, Largo

Viola da gamba: Steuart Pincombe
Performed LIVE in Fairchild Chapel, Oberlin Conservatory 2010.

NOTE: I apologise for the incessant camera clicking...the reporter there was a bit too enthusiastic the entire time but this movement has less of it...

viola da gamba/harp

Rehearsal for the premiere in March, 2013 at the Muziekgebouw, Amsterdam. Ere Lievonen, Fokker (31-tone) organ; Mikko Perkola, viola da gamba.

The introductory fanfare uses a 9-note scale (3+4+3+4+3+4+3+4+3=31 steps) in the so called Orwell temperament. The toccata is in extended meantone, making much use of septimal and neutral intervals, 1/5-tones, as well as commas that 31EDO tempers out, such as 176/175.

The viola da gamba is tuned as follows: The 7 strings are tuned to the standard A1-D-G-c-e-a-d1 (with meantone fourths). The seven frets are placed so that the pitches on the A strings are as follows: (A) Bb B C C# Cx D# E (= 3-2-3-2-2-3-3 steps of 31), enabling 21 pitches out of 31.
