This past weekend a terrific baroque ensemble (with a very clever name) performed part of my Quartetto d'amore in Delray Beach, Florida, and they played it on baroque instruments, at A=415. Many thinks to Robert David Billington, (baroque flute), Silvia Suarez (baroque violin), Richard Fleischman (viola d'amore), and Elena Alamilla (baroque cello). Also many thanks to Keith Paulson-Thorp for organizing the concert.

Lovely piece, heard while following the score. Moving to the dominant to supertonic and thence was a lovely touch as were the inequal divisions of eight later on. Mostly known these days seems to be the Hirsch "Ose shalom." From whence comes this theme? Brava.
Thank you! I found the theme in a songbook made specifically for our "little shul on the prairie" by one of our congregents who is no longer living. I have never encountered it anywhere else.
It sounds Sephardic to me.
No other citation of authorship? It sounds familiar, and now I am of a mind to schnor around a bit to find its antecedent. Sulzer? Idelsohn? Thanks for the info. Again, brava.
Schnor away! I have been searching for years. Perhaps you have a source I haven't consulted.
