THE WORKS LONDON & NEW YORK: NOVELLO, EWER AND CO. 1897. THE PURCELL SOCIETY, FOUNDED ON MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1876, for the purpose of doing justice to the memory of HENRY PURCELL ; firstly, by the publication of his works, most of which exist only in manuscript; and secondly, by mecting for the study and performance of his various compositions. —— COMMITTEE.

Art, Oxford, a Iy his remarks upon Henry Purcett, Dr. Burney said:— “While the Frenchman is loud in the praises of a Lulli and a Rameau; the German in that of a Handel and a Bach; and the Italian, of a Palestrina and a Pergolesi; not less is the pride of an Englishman in pointing to a name equally dear to his country; for Purcett is as much the boast of England in music as Shakespeare in the drama, Milton in epic poetry, Locke in metaphysics, or Sir Isaac Newton in mathematics and philosophy. As a musician he shone not more by the greatness than the diversity, by the diversity than the originality of his genius; nor did the powers of his fancy prove detrimental to the solidity of his judgment. It is true that some musicians of eminence had appeared in this country previously to him, but the superior splendour of his genius eclipsed their fame. We hear with pleasure of Tallis, Gibbons, and Blow; but upon the name of Purcert we dwell with delight, and are content to identify with his the musical pretensions of our country.” ‘These weighty utterances may be taken as still representing in substance the opinion of English musicians with regard to Henry Purcett. But while the advance of time abates nothing of that reverence for his genius and pride in his achievements which are the inheritance of the master’s countrymen, it unquestionably increases the obligation under which we all lie to do justice to his memory in a more practical way. The fame of Puncett is no longer confined to England. It has spread to every country where the art is cherished, and pages might be filled with eloquent tributes to his genius written by foreign pens. One only will suffice as an example, and it shall be that of a Frenchman. In his Les Clavecinistes de 1637 @ 1790, M. Amédée Méreaux says:— “We have here a name which is not anything like as well known as it deserves to be; it is that of a great musician whose career in the musical world left traces of remarkable progress. Nevertheless the musical world, if it has not wholly forgotten him, (2) has not paid the tribute justly due to his celebrity. Henry Purcett is one of the artistic glories of England. He is, without doubt, the most able and most fertile of all the English composers.” ‘When the genius of our countryman is thus asserted-in other lands ; when his music, as in the case of M. Méreaux's volumes, is printed for the use of foreign connoisseurs, and especially wien foreign writers point significantly to the neglect which Purcett suffers, it is time for us to consider what practical measures of appreciation and homage can be taken. The thought, however, is no new one. While the national tongue has for more than a century and a half lavished praises upon Purcett, the national conscience has been uneasy at the bestowal of a barren honour and nothing more. Hence the attempts made from time to time to bring his works within reach, In 1788 Goodison made a gallant effort to print such of the master’s MS. compositions as were then available, and actually succeeded in publishing, in a more or less complete form, The Tempest, Indian Queen, Ode for Queen Mary, Christ Church Ode, an Organ Voluntary, several Anthems, and The Yorkshire Feast, together with portions of Adipus and King Arthur. But the time was not ripe for such an enterprise. Only about 100 subscribers supported Goodison, and he had to retire from the field. Forty years passed before Puxcett found another champion of this practical order. In 1828 Vincent Novello began the publication of the master’s sacred music, and carried it on with such energy that in 1832 he had given to the world what was then thought to be a complete collection. It is impossible to look back upon Novello’s achievement without admiration for the research which made it possible, and without gratitude for the service rendered to English music. But justice was done only to one phase of PurceLt’s genius. Great though the master was as a composer for the Church, he was, perhaps, greater as a writer for the stage and of secular music generally. To prove this—to reveal the treasures which ever since his death have been lying hidden, to the detriment alike of his own fame and the repute of his country—is a manifest obligation, the time for the discharge of which has fully come. But to this end there must be a widely extended co-operation, for the work to be done is great. Of the amazing number of secular compo- sitions bearing Purcett’s name very few have been published. He himself printed but four— the “Sonnatas of three Parts” (1683) ; the “Ode for St. Cecilia’s Day” (1684) ; Dioclesian (1691), and The Fairy Queen (1692). Under the auspices of his widow there were given to the world— Lessons for the Harpsichord” (1696); Ayres for Theatre” (1697) ; a second set of “ Sonnatas,” in four parts (1697); and the collection entitled “ Orpheus Britannicus” (1698). Add to these portions of the music to Don Quixote, the works published by Goodison, and the three—King Arthur, Bonduca, Dido and neas—issued by the Musical Antiquarian Society, and the tale of printed secular works is complete. But how much remains? Purcett is known to have written music for nearly fifty Dramas, while his Odes and Choral Songs still in MS. number twenty-four. Moreover, since the completion of Novello’s edition of the master’s sacred music, discoveries of high importance have been made. A folio volume known to be in the Royal Library, but sought in vain by Vincent Novello, has come to light. It is described by Burney as ““PURCELL’S COMPOSITIONS : A COLLECTION OF ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPTS IN HIS OWN HANDWRITING”; and contains Anthems with Symphonies and instrumental parts, and also Odes and miscel- laneous Songs. At York Minster several other volumes of Sacred Music have been happily discovered. The task of completing the noblest possible monument to our English master— viz., the publication of his Complete Works—is thus shown to be a heavy one. But the Purcett Soctery enters upon it with a well founded trust in the sympathy and support of the musical public. For that the Committee now appeal, desiring to enrich the available treasures of English art, and to wipe away a national reproach by doing justice to one of whom the nation has abundant reason to be proud. 03 ) ODES AND WELCOME SONGS BY PURCELL.

CECILIA’S DAY. + JRREFACE. the work now printed is the finest and most elaborate. It is, strictly speaking, the last, since in the year following its composition, 1693, no Ode is known to have been written by Purcell, and in the next year his work for the Festival took the form of a Te Deum and Jubilate. On the eve of the Festival, November 21, 1695, the com- poser died. The words of the Ode are by Nicholas Brady (1659-1726), best known as part author with Nahum Tate of the metrical version of the Psalms. He was appointed lecturer at St. Michael's, Wood Street, and in 1692 was incumbent of St. Catherine Cree. The author's name was not made public at the time of performance, as appears from the following extract from the Gentleman’s Journal and Monthly Miscellany,” November, 1692, p. 19:— “Tn my first Journal I gave you a large account of the Musick Feast on St. Cecilia's day; So, to ( IF the five Odes composed by Purcell for various Cecilian celebrations in London, { avoid repetitions, I shall onely tell you that the last was no ways inferiour to the former. ‘The Stewards ‘chosen for the next year are, The Right Honourable the Lord Kennedy ¢ Norton, Esquire Sir Fon Woodhouse, Baronet; Phillip Wheak, Esquire; Mr. Godfrey Finger, and Mr. Bingham. ‘The Tollowing Ode was admirably set to Music by Mr. Henry Purcell, and perform'd twice with universal applause, particularly the second Stanza, which was sung with incredible Graces by Mr. Parcel himself. Though I was enjoyned not to name the Authour of the Ode, I find a great deal of reluctancy to forbear letting you know whom you must thank for so beautifall a Poem, and, to use Ovid's words, ‘Se quoque nunc, quamvis et jussa quiescere, Quinte Nominet insitum, vix mea Musa ten ‘The poem then follows, as printed on pp. 1-3. In January, 1693-4, the same magazine contained an epigram “by Mr. B—y, whose Ode for St. Cecilia’s Day you liked so well.” Printed copies of single numbers from the Ode are said to have existed in which Brady's authorship was acknowledged, but the Ode as a whole does not seem to have appeared with his name as author before 1782, when it was published in Nichols’ Select Collection of Poems. ‘The air referred to as having been sung by the composer, both at the first and second performances of the Ode, was undoubtedly “’Tis Nature’s Voice,” and as the oldest MS. of the work now known to exist contains (in a handwriting contemporary with the music) the names of the singers at some performance when it was used, among which Purcell’s name does not appear, it seems fairly certain that no copy actually contemporary with the first performance is now to be found. | _ On the other hand, there exist a remarkably large number of copies, ranging in date from shortly after the first performance down to the latter part of the last century, and in 1849 it was edited, for the Musical Antiquarian Society, by Rimbault, whose preface implies (ii) the existence of two MSS. not now to be discovered. One of these two is stated to have contained the list of singers taking part in some early performance, and these names are identical with those occurring in the best of the MSS. now existing, the MS. at Oxford referred to below as A. The curious circumstance that no two of the extant MSS. agree with each other in every point (Rimbault’s readings being greatly at variance with those of A) goes to prove that a large number of different versions were early in circulation. ‘The existence of several sets of band parts, differing from any of the scores, and various signs in the scores themselves, show that many performances must have taken place of this Ode, the last of which was that given by the Philharmonic Society in connection with the Purcell Bi-centenary Festival of 1895. ‘The inclusion of a good many numbers from the Ode in Orpheus Britannicus shows that at the time of the composer's death it was considered one of his best works, although, like so many of his best compositions, it remained unprinted as a whole for many years after his, death. The MS, authorities are as follows :— A.—A fall score in the Bodleian Library (MS, Mus., c. 26), undoubtedly written before the end of the seventeenth century ; the names of the following singers are written ‘opposite the solo numbers: Mr. Woodson (bass), Mr. Turner, Mr. Pate (alto andtenor), Mr. Bowman (bass), Mr. Howel (contra-tenor), Mrs. Aliff (treble), Mr. Damascene (alto) and Mr. Edwards (bass), Mr. Freeman (alto), Mr. Snow (tenor), Mr. Bouchier (alto), and Mr. Williams (bass). ‘The name of Mr. George Hart, another bass, has been erased at the beginning of No. 12. It is worth mentioning that nearly the same list of singers is quoted by Rimbault as occurring in the MS. used by him in the Musical Antiquarian Society edition. A full score, formerly in the possession of Dr. W. J. Westbrook, now in that of W. Barclay Squire, Esq. C.—A full score in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, in the handwriting of Dr. Croft. The date, “ Feb. 22, 1695," may refer to a performance of the Ode three years after its first production. D.—Full score in the possession of W. H. Cummings, Esq., F.S.A. B, C, D probably date from the early years of the eighteenth century. E.—The MSS. from which Rimbault made his edition are no longer to be traced; his preface gives the date of his own “contemporary” score as 1699. On the assumption that his edition represented faithfully the reading of this MS., it is referred to as E. Full Score in the library of Christ Church, Oxford, written by R. Goodson (probably Richard Goodson, Jun., Mus.B., died 1741). It contains neither the Overture nor any of the numbers printed in Orpheus Britannicus. The numbers given are 1, 2, §, 6, 7, 10, 12, and 13, G.—Fall Score, of considerably later date than D, in the possession of W. H. Cummings, Esq., F.S.A., in the handwriting of Saville, of Lichfield. Numbers contained in Orpheus Britannicus are omitted here. H.—An imperfect set of band parts in the Bodleian Library (MS. Mus., c. 27). Only the hautboy, violin, and bass parts remain, The date is apparently of the middle of the last century, and the readings for the most part coincide with those of A. (iii) —A Full Score in the Bodleian Library (MS. Mus., b. ro), in the handwriti J. Awbery, dated 1760. ig of Full Score in the library of the Royal College of Music (formerly in the library of the Sacred Harmonic Society), in the handwriting of R. Pindar, dated 1765. This MS. contains several curious additions to the wood-wind parts, and, in the last chorus, an extra bar which is apparently not due to any clerical error (see below). ‘A set of parts in the library of the Royal College of Music (formerly in that of the Sacred Harmonic Society), containing several copies of vocal and instrumental parts, dating probably from about 1770. ‘M.—A late copy of two of the choruses in the library of York Minster. N.—Pull Score, written by John Travers, about the middle of the eighteenth century, in the collection of the late Sir F. A. Gore Ouseley. O.—Full Score, in a volume of “ Odes, &c. Ouseley. in the collection of the late Sir F. A. Gore No. 4 was included in the first edition of Orpheus Britannicus; Nos. 6, 9, and xx appear among the “‘new additions” to the first book; and Nos. 3, 8, and 10 are in the second book (referred to as Orph. Brit.). A printed version of No. 4 exists in sheet form, engraved by Tho. Cross, possibly during Purcell’s lifetime. A later version of No. 11 in the same form is also extant. (These are referred to as P). In the following list of various readings such variations as are obviously due to slips of the pen, or, in the published copies, to misprints, are not noticed. A very large proportion of the different readings arise from the ever-increasing desire to smooth away certain rough pro- gressions and generally to conventionalise the music. The time-values of some of the difficult passages in “’Tis Nature's Voice” have been altered in several of the MSS., the harsh pro- gression at bar 8 of “Thou tun’st this world” has been modified in various ways, and the remarkable passages of transition which occur after Nos. 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, and 14 have been omitted from many of the later copies, although the evidence of all the earlier MSS. is entirely in favour of their retention. In the band parts of the Royal College of Music copy (L) the passages have been carefully erased with a pen-knife. VARIOUS READINGS. aoe Live Ban 1 — — OVERTURE. A and Dgive nofigures to the bass.

Between bars 4 and of p. 92 K adds a bar, which has appeared and been erased in bassoon part of L. It is contrived by giving a minim rest on latter half of bar 4, instead of the lead in rst violin and treble voice. It stands as here, and is followed by ‘minim rests in bar 6 in trumpets and drums, and by a crotchet rest in and violin, viola, ato and tenor voices. It is clearly without authority, as no trace is found in any of the older MSS., but its origin is dificult to account for. In the above list it has not been thought advisable to note every variety of notation in regard to the figured bass, as every MS. has slight differences on this point. A omits the figures in many passages, and as a rule the figures given in the text are those of B. The various readings seldom affect the harmonies at all materially; when they do, the fact has been noted. My thanks are chiefly due to Mr. G. B. P. Arkwright, who in the first instance collated the following MSS. :—A, B, E, part of H, and M. He also prepared the working copy of the score. To Dr. Alan Gray, of Trinity College, Cambridge, for collation of C; to Mr. Basil Harwood, Mus. B., of Christ Church, Oxford, for collation of F; to Mr. F. Cunningham Woods, Mus. B., of Exeter College, Oxford, for partial collation of the Oxford MSS. ; and to Mr. W. H. Cummings and Mr. W. Barclay Squire, for the loan of their MSS., I am also sincerely grateful.
