The vielle, a 5-string flatback fiddle
originally found in ancient Asia, is the
link between the ages.
The music of the Dark Ages served
several purposes including religious cer-
emonies, storytelling, expressing emotion
and celebrating or mourning life’s pas-
sages.
“We know very little about what this
music sounded like,” Campbell states.
“Until the Catholic Church began figur-
ing out a standard notation system some-
time after the reign of Pope Gregory (590
- 604), there was no written music -- only
the texts.”
In pre-Christian times, ancient Jew-
ish chants were intoned by rabbis for cer-
emonial and sacrificial rites. Many of
these were adapted by the early Christians
and can still be heard in familiar chants of
today’s liturgy.
“For example, “Alleluia” comes
from the Hebrew words for ‘Praise to
God’,” Campbell explains. Among other
liturgical works dating back well over
1,000 years, the chorus will present an
early example of a two-part Alleluia chant
that was written in England in the year
1050.
“We couldn’t imagine a chant seg-
ment without including Hildegard of
Bingen’s amazing music, or some of the
most well-loved of the ancient Christian
liturgy that is still sung in Latin masses,”
Campbell states.
“We’re also presenting several reli-
gious pilgrim songs, most often in praise
of Mary and her miracles. Some of these
tell, in elaborate detail, of pilgrimages to a
holy shrine in her name,” she states.
“In addition to the religious texts,
there were, of course, secular love songs
from the troubadour traditions in France
and England. It is much harder to find
written music in this genre, as these com-
posers did not set their tunes into “church
notation,” but the ones we have found for
our program are exuberant and full of joc-
ular rhythms and meters,” she asserts.
Campbell goes on to say, “The senti-
ments expressed are pretty much the same
that we hear in pop, rock and country on
today’s radio stations. Troubadours were
the popular musicians of their time.”
“We end our program with 20th and
21st century compositions based on very
ancient chants. The final piece is a world
premiere of Ruthie Dornfeld’s composi-
tion for vielle, oud and percussion, re-
imagined for chorus and vielle. It speaks
of journeying from a place far East, per-
haps Constantinople,” Campbell details.

Preparedness ... Continued from A-1
Brick structures are the
most vulnerable to earthquakes.
In general, wooden-framed build-
ings bolted to solid foundations
will bend and thus better with-
stand large earthquakes. There
are ways to retrofit buildings, and
kits that contractors use to secure
vulnerable structures, but be sure
to do your research and get the
right materials and experienced
manpower to do the work.
In general, whether it is an
earthquake, flood or fire, there
are preparations everyone should
make to survive these emergen-
cies and the aftermath. But in
the case of earthquakes, people
often ask where supplies should
be kept.
The gallons of water,
canned food, flashlights and bat-
teries stored away won’t be of
much help if people cannot get
to their supplies. According to
officials with the Oregon Office
of Emergency Management, it’s
best to keep supplies in a number
of areas. They recommend keep-
ing a disaster supply kit in the
car and then both a “go-kit” and
a seven-day supply of necessities
at home.
The best places to store
supplies depends on the type of
home a person lives in. Storing
some supplies in a garage might
be a good idea, because many ga-
rages are built on concrete floors
and therefore will be more stable
during a big quake. If no garage
is available, then keeping items
in a closet or storage room also
works. The key things are acces-
sibility and braced shelving, so
that supplies won’t fall. Materials
for bracing shelves can be pur-
chased at home supply stores.
Emergency experts also
warn against locking supplies
away, in case the person with the
key isn’t there or the keys are lost
in the quake itself.
In general, the best pre-
paredness is about giving your-
self options.
What to have on hand: The
Office of Emergency Manage-
ment recommends preparing
three separate disaster supply
kits. Those include a “grab and
go” kit that can be kept at home
and at work, a household disaster
supply kit with larger items, and a
car disaster supply kit.
The “grab and go” kit should
include:
• Medications, a first-aid
kit and doctors’ names and con-
tact information
• Sturdy shoes, a change
of clothes and a blanket
• Cash (ATMs won’t work
if the power goes out)
• Flashlight, extra batter-
ies and light bulbs
Quake ...
• Bottled water
• Snack foods high in wa-
ter and calories (FEMA suggests
items like protein bars and dried
fruit)
A household disaster supply
kit should include:
• Water (a minimum of
one gallon per person or pet per
day, for at least seven days)
• Canned or packaged
food, and a can opener
• A portable or hand-
cranked radio with extra batter-
ies
• Comfortable,
warm
clothing
• Blankets or sleeping
bags
• Copies of vital docu-
ments such as insurance, bank
account information
• Flashlights
• Pet food, if needed
A car disaster supply kit
should include:
• The most necessary
items from your personal disaster
supply kit
• An additional six-pack
of water
• A tire repair kit, jumper
cables, flares
• Seasonal supplies like
blankets, hats and mittens for the
winter and sunscreen and hats for
the summer.

By assessing 10,000 years of known history,
experts can make forecasts, according to Dr. Chris
Goldfinger, a marine geologist at Southern Oregon
University, who says the probability is likely close
to 40 percent for a large earthquake in the next 50
years in Southern Cascadia.
“People are always looking for predictions,
and we can’t do that,” Goldfinger said. “It could
happen next week or in three decades. There’s no
way of knowing.”
Goldfinger added that research in the past few
years has led scientists to conclude that the south-
ern end of the Cascadia Subduction Zone also ex-
periences large mega-thrust earthquakes of 8.0 and
higher on the Richter scale every 200 to 240 years
that can be felt further inland than was previously
believed. Research indicates that the last earth-
quake of this type occurred near Brookings in the
late 1880’s.
“There’s three separate lines of evidence that
indicate that the southern margin of Cascadia has a
much higher recurrence level for major earthquakes
than the northern end,” Goldfinger said. “Our goal
now is to try to determine how much shaking oc-
curs inland and how far inland.”
When a mega-thrust earthquake does occur,
geologists say that the effect could be similar to the
December 2004 quake in the Indian Ocean that was
felt around the world. That earthquake was the third
largest in recorded history and was the longest last-
ing faulting earthquake ever observed.
