The opening music sounds as though it came from the old shape note books used by Quakers, old Baptists, and other Protestant fundamentalist sects. I believe Amish singing is nonharmonic.
I live in Lancaster county, PA, home to a large community of Old Order Amish, Mennonites and variants. Did anyone notice the electric meter on the house? Perhaps all houses - Amish included, have to be wired, but not electrified by law. You can usually tell whose house is Amish, from the lack of electrical wires.
