Barrie Cabena, OVERDUIN'S OSTINATOS (1982)

Barrie Cabena, “Overduin’s Ostinatos” (from Cabena’s Homage III, Opus 119) composed in 1982 and dedicated to Jan Overduin. “Ostinato” is derived from the Italian word for ‘stubborn’ (‘obstinate’) and this piece shows it. The incessant repeated patterns nevertheless change and develop, with the result that the music does not sound repetitive at all. The sense of awkwardness is due to the unremitting 5-time rhythm, either 5/8 or 5/4. That ‘off-kilter’ feel is part of this little composition’s charm and magic. The overall impression is one of lyricism. Here it is, played twice (on contrasting registrations) on the Kney organ at First United Church in Waterloo.
