TABEA DEBUS, recorder Winner, 2019 Concert Artists Guild Competition Ode to an Earworm Recorder & Theorbo (full-length program mixed) “I was [un]able to think of any thing, but remained all night transported, so as I could not believe that ever any musick hath that real command over the soul of a man as this did upon me.” (Samuel Pepys, 1668) Until the 15th century music was predominantly an aural tradition. However, with the invention of the printing press this tradition began to disappear. Still, some melodies are innately memorable, haunting even – why?

Cateni & Valentini Ode to an Earworm Recorder & Theorbo Lunchtime Concert “I was [un]able to think of any thing, 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 Peyps, 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?
