Ode to an Earworm

“I was unable to think of anything, but remained all night transported.” – Samuel Pepys

Music has a tendency to continue playing inside our minds, whether we want it to or not. Today, studies are being conducted to examine the causes and cures of such so-called earworms. From Pepys, we gather that musical earworms are in no way unique to our century. Without specific studies of the phenomenon to guide us, how can we follow the traces of earworms back in time?

Tabea, Jonathan and Alex will play musical earworms including works by anonymous composers from the 14th and 16th centuries, Falconieri, Soler, Dowland, Waley-Cohen, Purcell, Handel, Piazzolla, Marcello and Corelli.
