In this book will be found an account of the source and history — so far as is known to me — of upwards of One Thousand Psalm and Hymn Tunes; Theee Hundred Chants, Dox- OLOGIES, AND SCEIPTURE SENTENCES OE AnTHEMS, — being those contained in the following works : — • ' The United Presbyterian Hymnal, with Accompanying Tunes,' 1877; 'The United Presbyterian Psalter, with Accompanying Tunes,' 1878; ' The Presbyterian Hymnal Scripture Sentences and Chants,' 1886, — -all published by the authority of the Synod of the United Presbyterian Church : ' The Free Church Hymn Book, with Tunes,' 1882 ; ' The Scottish Psalter, . . . with Appropriate Tunes and Chants,' 1883, — ^both published by authority of the General Assembly of the Free Church of Scotland : ' The Scottish Hymnal (Appendix Incorporated), with Tunes, for Use in Churches,' 1885 ; vi PREFACE. 'The Book of Psalms and Paraphrases (in Metre), with Tunes, for Use in Churches,' 1886, — both published by authority of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. There are also about Five Hundred Biographical Notices OF THE Composers, and an Appendix containing some par- ticulars REGARDING THE PRINCIPAL COLLECTIONS OF PSALM- ODY ISSUED IN SCOTLAND SINCE 1700. A deep interest in the Biography of our psalm and hymn tune writers, and the tracing of our Church music to its original sources, led me, during my spare moments within the last ten years, to compile this work. I was also actuated by the idea that, as a leader of Praise, I ought to have some knowledge of the sources of our Church music, and of the leading facts of the composers' lives. To publish the results of my investigations was not my intention, as I lay no claim to literary ability ; but it was pointed out to me that a work of this kind had never been issued in Scotland, although much had been written regarding hymns and their writers : and it is a fact well known to all experts, that Scottish Psalmodies have been notoriously untrustworthy as regards the source and authorship of their contents. The apparent inclination of edi- tors to accept current testimony without question, has led to much confusion, and it is not uncommon to find tunes assigned to composers who were not born when the tunes were pub- lished, and composers bearing the same surnames hopelessly mixed. Though I make no claim to rank with those whose researches have disclosed facts of paramount national import- ance, I may surely claim to have approached a subject on which a great deal of uncertainty exists, and I am persuaded that additional light will be acceptable. To those who know anything of the subject, it will, I hope, be evident that con- siderable trouble has been taken to ensure accuracy regarding PREFACE. vii dates and facts, but it would be idle to suppose that errors have not crept into the work; these I shall be glad to have pointed out to me. In the compilation of the work, I have had much valuable assistance and many kind suggestions from the following gentle- men, to whom I accord my warmest thanks: J. O. Anderson, Esq., Edinburgh; John Montgomerie Bell, Esq., W.S., Edin- burgh; William Carnie, Esq., Aberdeen; Major George Arthur Crawford, Sevenoaks, Kent ; John Spencer Curwen, Esq., Lon- don ; F. G. Edwards, Esq., London ; J. Cuthbert Hadden, Esq., Edinburgh; Walter Hately, Esq., Edinburgh; Rev. Dr Andrew Henderson, Paisley ; Hubert P. Main, Esq., New York ; Eev. Dr Andrew Melville, Glasgow ; Eev. Henry Parr, Vicar of Yox- ford, Suffolk; Ebenezer Prout, Esq., B.A., London; Gregg Wilson, Esq., B.D., Falkirk. Nor can I forget the many kindnesses shown me by the late John Dobson, Esq., of Richmond, Surrey, whose great know- ledge of the subject was the means of settling many doubtful points. I have also to acknowledge the help given to me by the Librarians of the British Museum, London ; Euing Library, Glasgow ; Advocates' and Signet Libraries, Edinburgh. In a special measure I have to thank my friend Miss C. L. Gair, The Kilns, Falkirk, for much valuable aid, generously extended to me during the years I have been engaged on this work. That the book may be of use to all who are interested in Church music is my earnest wish. JAMES LOVE. Aenothill Gardens, Falkirk, May 1891. CONTENTS.

GOTHA, No. 144 (Second Tune) S.H., 233 F.C.H., and 7 U.P.H., appears in ' Songs and Ballads written and set to Music by their Koyal Highnesses Albert and Ernest, Princes of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, . . . Loudon, 1840,' and is there set to a poem by Eichendorff, beginning — ' ' wunderbares tiefes Schwingen ! Wie einsam ist's noch auf der Welt ! " It is found as a long-metre tune, under the name of " Greatness," in E. J. Westrop's 'Universal Psalmodist,' which was not published before 1840, although dated 1837 in Major's 'Tunes for the Family and Congregation.' It is named "Albert's" in 'The Sacred Choir,' edited by the Eev. Wm. Anderson, D.D., Glasgow (1841), that being perhaps its first appearance in a Scotch Collection. It is first found as an 8787 tune in Dr Lowell Mason's Psaltery, 1847. In the autumn of 1852 it was submitted to the Royal com- poser, who approved it by giving his permission for its publication in ' Con- gregational Church Music,' London, 1853. The tune is introduced by Sir John Goss in his anthem "The Lord is my strength," composed for her Majesty's Thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral, for the recovery of the Prince of Wales, 1872 ; also in an anthem composed by Dr Bridge for the Queen's Jubilee. " A Song of Praise," composed by Joseph Bradley, Mus. Bac, for perform- ance by the Glasgow Choral Union on the visit of her Majesty the Queen to the Glasgow International Exhibition, 22d August 1888, is founded on "Gotha." During one of the early visits of her Majesty the Queen and Prince Albert to Balmoral, the late Mr Peacock, music-master at Perth, was commanded to form a small choir to assist in leading the praise at Crathie Church. "Gotha" was one of the tunes then sung. (See Boyack, George, in Appendix.) COBUBG, No. 63 S.H., was composed for the words to which it is set, and seems to have been first printed in ' Congregational Church Music,' London, 1853. A copy of the tune was " forwarded by command from Buckingham Palace, March 1853, to the Bev. Dr Maurice," and published by him in his ' Choral Harmony,' 1854. Alcock, John, Mus.

Chant, No. 1, set to Hymn No. 334 in P.C.H., is from his 'Divine Har- mony; or, a Collection of Fifty-five Double and Single Chants, for Four Voices, as they are sung at the Cathedral of Lichfield." Printed for the Author, and in Birmingham : 1752. It is wrongly assigned to Dr Aldrich. Allan, James, son of Sichard Allan ; born in the parish of Polmont, Stirlingshire, July 27, 1842 ; in 1850 removed to Glas- gow, where he served his apprenticeship as a lithographic printer ; appointed Conductor of Psalmody in Sydney Place U.P. Church 1870 ; in 1872 conductor in Kelvinside Free Church, Glasgow ; Conductor of the Glasgow Select Choir (of which he was a pro- minent member) in succession to Mr Frederick Archer in 1880 ; died at Glasgow, August 10, 1885. A conductor of much ability, and an excellent baritone vocalist. His tune Vevay, No. 278 (Third Tune) P.C.H., was first published in that work. American. Haqab, No. 194 S.P., appears in Mason & Webb's 'National Psalmist,' Boston, 1849, and is there anonymous. Milton, No. 102 S.P., appears in Dr Mason's ' Hallelujah,' 1854, under the name of " Kinlock," and is there anonymous. Newcastle, No. 108 S.P., appears in Dr Mason's '^Sabbath Hymn and Tune Book,' 1859, and is there named " Otto." Best, No. 124 S.P., 96 (Second Tune) F.C.H., 91 U.P.P., there named "Ruth," is wrongly referred in these works to the 'Carmina Sacra.' It was adapted by Mr Carnie of Aberdeen &om an anonymous tune named "MiUbury" in Dr Mason's ' Hallelujah,' 1854, where it was published for the first time. To Mr Carnie belongs the credit of introducing the above tunes, and many others, into Scotland. In the Free Church collections about thirty of these tunes have been published, but, strange to say, Mr Carnie has never received a word of acknowledgment. Ancient. Chant, No. 270 S.P., from a melody of the seventh century. Bethany, No. 61 P.C.H. In the 'Psalmist,' edited by Vincent Novello, this tune is marked "Gregorian Melody, adapted for this work by S. Wesley, 1836." lONA, No. 39 U.P. P. One of the tunes collected by the late Dr George Petrie in the remote parts of Ireland ; believed by him to be a hymn of the ancient Irish Church.

Anderson, James Smith, son of Mr William Anderson, Town Treasurer of the Royal Burgt of Crail, Fifeshire ; born at Crail, June 30, 1853 ; received his musical education at Edinburgh under Mr (now Dr) G. 0. Martin, then organist to the Duke of Bucoleuch at Dalkeith, from his successor, Mr G. F. Tendall, Mus. Bac, and afterwards at Glasgow under Dr A. L. Peace ; graduated Mus. Bac, Oxford, 1878 ; Fellow of the College of Organists, London, 1878 ; organist and choirmaster of Nicolson Square Chapel, Edin- burgh, 1872 to 1877 ; Abbey Parish Church, 1877 to 1879 ; St Thomas's Episcopal Chapel, 1879 ; since 1881 has held the im- portant position of organist and choirmaster at St Andrew's Parish Church, George Street, where he frequently gives recitals on an organ built by Messrs Peter Conacher & Co. of Huddersfield, and placed in the church in 1880 at a cost of about ,£1000. Mr Anderson has contributed to many Hymnals, amongst which may be mentioned ' Songs of Zion,' Chant portion of 'Hymnal Com- panion,' Sunday-school Supplement to ' Blackburn Tune Book,' and ' National Tune Book.' He revised the harmonies of the ' Blackburn Tune Book ' already mentioned, and the present ' U.P. Children's Hymnal.' He has published some pianoforte music, but the bulk of his compositions for the voice, organ, and pianoforte remain in MS. Finoal, No. 317 (Second Tune) S.H., was composed for that work. Anonymous. Belmont, No. 38 S.P., 83 F.C.H., 126 S.H., 106 U.P.P., 275, 328 U.P.H. This tune has been assigned to Samuel Webbe, sen., and Samuel Webbe, jun., but it is not found in the collections of psalmody they issued, nor is it at all in the style of Webbe the elder. It has also been assigned to Mozart, ANONYMOUS. 61 without, it is feared, good grounds. The statement that it is adapted from his opera of the " Seraglio " is unfounded, for although there is a character in that work named " Belmonte," there is nothing in the music resembling the hymn tune. A writer in ' Notes and Queries ' (August 1876) says : "It has heen stated that this tune (Belmont) is by Samuel Webbe, jun., and was adapted from, or rather suggested by, Haydn's canzonet 'My mother bids me bind my hair.' " This would be adapting with a vengeance. The facts regarding this tune are as foUows : It is found in Purday's ' Psalm and Hymn Tunes,' 1860 ; ia Routledge's ' Church and Home Metrical Psalter and Hymnal,' 1860 ; in Aviolet's ' Tunes and Chants,' 1862. In all these works "Belmont" is anonymous. In 1862 the Rev. W. Windle rearranged Eoutledge's work mentioned above, and there " Belmont " is assigned to " S. Webbe." In 1863 the ' Bristol Tune Book ' was issued, and the tune ascribed to the same composer. Doubtless the editor of the " Bristol " book followed Routledge, and since that time we invariably find Webbe's name attached to " Belmont." The late Mr John Dobson, the well-known psalmody collec- tor, knew of no earlier copy than that given in the ' Bristol Tune Book.' Below will be found a double form of the tune, which appears in a small collection published for use at Tonbridge School Chapel about 1861 : — 62 BIOGEAPHICAL SKETCHES. <:i d :- Key D t.

Appears in the 'Wesleyan Sunday-school Tune Book,' 1858. Associated with the hymn " Around the Throne of God in Heaven," written by Anne Shepherd (Houlditch) in 1847. Goshen, No. 376 F.C.H., assigned by some to one Yardley, and by others to a Mrs Davis, is said to be adapted from an old ballad, " Hours of Happy Childhood." iNNOCEiras, No. 162 F.C.H., 84 tJ.P.H., 25 and 232 S.H. A tune much used during the last forty years. Nothing definite seems to be known of its origin. The earliest copy the writer has seen is in ' The Parish Choir,' vol. iii., 1851. It is there set to the hymn beginning " Little flowers of martyr- dom," named "Innocents," and described as an "Ancient Litany." It seems to be an altered copy of Thomas Walker's tune " Stoel," which is found in the Rev. John Rippon's collection, 1806, in the preparation of which Walker assisted. Italian Chorale, No. 227 F.C.H., or LUQANO, No. 295 S.H., 305 U.P.H. This tune is now associated with James Edmeston's hymn, "Saviour, breathe an evening blessing." It is of Italian origin, but this seems to be all that is known regarding it. Norwood, No. 117 P. and P. Probably a tune of last century. Old 143d, No. 44 U.P.P. An English melody. Resignation, No. 221 (Second Tune) S.H. This tune is assigned by some to Lady B. Osborne, but the writer is unable to corroborate this. It is asso- ciated with the hymn " My God and Father, while I stray," written by Miss Elliott in 1834, to whom also the tune has been assigned. St Austin, No. 307 S.H. Appears in the 2d edition of 'The Temple Tune Book,' edited by E. J. Hopkins, Mus. Doc, 1869. St Helena, No. 263 S.H., 128 F.C.H. Submission, No. 276 F.C.H. See " Resignation," which is the same tune. S.S., No. 46 U.P.H., "The sacrifices of God." Arcadelt, Jacques, a native of Brabant, in the Netherlands ; born about the end of the fifteenth century ; master of the children of the choir in St Peter's, Eome, in 1539 ; about 1555 became chapelmaster to the Cardinal of Lorraine, and accompanied him to Paris ; died in Paris. He is known as the composer of many madrigals. S.S., No. 47 U.P.H., " Give ear to my prayer," is an adaptation from an " Ave Maria " said to have been composed by Arcadelt. Jerusalem, No. 352 F.C.H., is also from the same work. AENE — ARNOLD. 65 Arne, Thomas Augustine, son of Mr Thomas Arne, an upholsterer ; born in London, 1710 ; studied the violin under Festing ; created Mus. Doc. of Oxford University, July 6, 1759. He composed the oratorios "Abel" and "Judith," and many operas ; his songs " Where the bee sucks " and " Rule Britannia " are universally known; died March 5, 1778, and was buried in St Paul's, Covent Garden. Abtaxerxes, No. 31 S.P., Is an adaptation from a minuet at tie close of the overture to the opera of " Artaxerxes," composed hy Arne in 1762. The Bev. R. Harrison, who adapted it, published it in vol. i. of his ' Sacred Harmony' (1784). It is in Henry Boyd's collection, Glasgow, 1793, which is the first time the writer finds it in a Scotch Psalmody. In the first part of "The Sacred Harmony, for the use of St George's Church, Edinburgh,' dated 1820, edited by Dr Andrew Thomson, the minuet, in nearly its original form, appears as a L.M. tune, with a repeat of the last two lines, under the name of " Princes Street." Arnold, John, " Philo Musicse," of Great Warley, Essex ; author of several collections of vocal music; died 1792, buried February 14. Edited ' The Compleat Psalmodist,' in Four Books, 1741. Preface dated Great Warley, October 29, 1739. It wenlf through many editions, the contents 6f which vary considerably. One issued in 1749 contains Blenheim, No. 52 P. and P. Arnold, Samuel, Mus. Doc, son of Mr Thomas Arnold, was born in London, August 10, 1740. He studied in the Chapel Eoyal under Bernard Gates and Dr Nares, and obtained the degree of Doctor of Music at Oxford in 1773. In 1783 he was appointed organist and composer to the Chapel Royal, and in 1793 organist of Westminster Abbey. He died October 22, 1802, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. Arnold composed upwards of forty operas, and a number of oratorios, besides many pieces for the Church. In 1791 he edited, in conjunction with Dr Callcott, ' The Psalms of David, for the Use of Parish Churches.' In that collection his tune Aknold, No. 46 P. and P., 30 S.P., and 63 in U.P.P., appears on page 18 set to Psalm XV., and so arranged that the first two lines are sung as a duet by first and second trebles, the same lines are then taken up by bass and tenor (also as a duet), the whole parts joining in chorus to sing the last two lines. It was early introduced into Scotland, and is found in the form we now use in Kobert Gilmour's ' Psalm Singer's Assistant,' Glasgow. No date ; but issued before 1793. E 66 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. Langholm, No. 104 P. and P., is on page 97 of the atove work, and is there set to Psalm 90, and named "Lancaster." Dunblane, No. 18 U.P.P., on page 45 set to Psalm 39, and named "Funeral." DoxOLOQT, No. 17 U.P.H. (Sanctus IIL), is assigned to Arnold, hut where it was first published the writer is unahle to state. Ashworth, Charles, edited ' A Collection of Tunes suited to the several Metres commonly used in Public Worship, set in Four Parts.' St Thomas, No. 222 U.P.H., 62 U.P.P., 154 S.P., and 145 P. and P., is in the 3d edition of the above Collection, 1766, also in another without date printed from the same plates, and probably the first (about 1760), and is in them named " Walney Tune." It appears under its present name in Thomas Moore's ' The Psalm Singer's Delightful Pocket Companion,' Glasgow (1762). This seems to be its first appearance in a Scottish Psalmody. To assign it to Henry Purcell is erroneous. Atkinson, Frederick Cook, born at Norwich, August 21, 1841 ; between the years 1849 and 1860 chorister and assistant- organist in the Cathedral of Norwich ; graduated Mus. Bac. at Cambridge, 1867 ; organist and choirmaster of St Paul's and St John's Churches, Bradford, for a number of years ; organist of Norwich Cathedral from 1881 to 1885. Thbtford, No. 205 in P and P. , is a prize tune, and first appeared in the ' Bristol Tune Book,' 1863. Attwood, Thomas, was bom in London in 1765, not 1767 as sometimes stated. When nine years of age he became a chorister in the Chapel Royal, studying successively under Dr Nares and Dr Ayrton. In 1783 he was sent by the Prince of Wales, afterwards George IV., to study under the celebrated masters of Italy. He afterwards removed to Vienna, where he studied under Mozart, who said that he had the sincerest affection for him, and that he considered him to have imbibed more of his style than any scholar he ever had. In 1796 he was appointed organist of St Paul's Cathedral and composer to the Chapel Royal, and in 1821 organist of King George IV. 's private chapel at Brighton, and organist of the Chapel Royal in 1836. Attwood died at Chelsea, March 24, 1838, and was buried in St Paul's Cathedral under the organ. S. S., No. 43 U.P.H., "Turn Thy face from my sins," was composed for and first published in a work entitled ' Sacred Minstrelsy ; a Collection of Sacred Music by the Great Masters of all ages and nations, consisting of AUSTEN — BACH. 67 Anthems, Solos, Duets, Trios, &o., with Aocompaniment for Piano or Organ,' vol. i., 1834. Vol. ii. of the atove work, published in 1835, contains his anthem, "Enter not into judgment." Austen, Augusta Amherst, was born in London, August 2, 1827. She received her musical education at the Royal Academy of Music, and studied the pianoforte under Mrs G. F. Anderson (m^e Lucy Phillpot), teacher to her Majesty Queen Victoria. She was organist at Ealing Church from 1844 tUl 1848, when she became organist at Paddington Chapel. This post she resigned in 1857. She afterwards married Mr Thomas Anstey Guthrie. One of her sons is well known as the author of ' Vice Vers^,' &c. She died at Glasgow, August 5, 1877. St Agnes, No. 48 S.H. and 30 in P. and P., was composed in 1848, and published in Dr Steggall's ' Church Psalmody,' 1849. Ayl'ward, Theodore Edward, son of Mr W. P. Aylward, and great-great-nephew of Theodore Aylward, Mus. Doc. ; born at Salisbury, February 28, 1844 ; pupil of C. J. Read of Salisbury, Dr S. S. Wesley, and Sir G. A. Macfarren ; successively organist of the Temporary Parish Church, Cheltenham — St Columba College, Ireland — St Mary's, Spring Grove — Llandaflf Cathedral (in 1870), and (in 1876) Chichester Cathedral ; since 1886 organist of St Andrew's Church, Cardiff, and of the Park Hall. His tune SAKtiM Htmnal, No. 36 P. and P., was composed in 1868, and published the following year in the ' Sarum i Hymnal,' of which he was musical editor. B. T. Freshwater, No. 362 (First Tune) in S.H., was written for the ' Children's Hymn Book' (1881) by a composer bearing the above initials who courts anonymity. Bach, Johaun Christoph, one of the most distinguished organists of his time ; a first cousin of the father of Johann Sebastian Bach ; born at Arnstadt in 1643 ; Court organist at Eisenach in 1665 ; died March 31, 1703. HOLSTBIN, No. 226 U.P.H. and 373 in S.H. (there named "Frankfort"), is an old melody which he harmonised in 1680. It is wrongly assigned in the S.H. Josephi's name may have become associated with the tune from the fact that in North Germany it is mostly set to a pastoral by Scheffler, "Liebe die du mich zum Bilde." It seems to have been introduced into England by the Bev. John Wesley, who published it in 'A Collection of 1 Ecclesiastical name for Salisbury. 68 BIOGEAPHICAL SKETCHES.

Potsdam, No. 152 S.H., 196 P. and P., 198 S.P., 147 U.P.H., and 73 U.P.P., is from the suhjeot of a fugue in B in his " Wohltemperirte Klavier." Augustine, No. 133 F.C.H., and 179 in P. and P., is adapted from the following ttme, which appears in vol. ii. of his ' Vierstimmige Choralgesange,' edited hy P. E. Bach, 1769, where it stands No. 163, and is set to the words " Als der giitige Gott " : — Key G. |:si |d :r {|d :- I {| in :r d :f In Id i7s Id :- |r :r :- I :r If :n n :f |n :r :f In :r /7\ Ir :n /7\ Id Mbinhold, No. 260 in S.H., is No. 155 in the same vol., and is the chorale "Meinen Jesum lass ich nioht." The harmony of Bach, No. 138 F.C.H., is his. S. S., No. 102 U.P.H., "Blessing and Glory," is from a motett, "Lob und Ehre und Weisheit," originally written for two choirs of eight voices. Spitta, in his ' Life of Bach,' throws douht on Bach's authorship. He says : " Some of these motetts for two choirs are certainly spurious, or at least doubtful. At any rate, the score published in 1819, by Breitkopf and Hartel, of the motett ' Lob und Ehre,' is not genuine, though it afterwards was re- published as No. 3 in the new edition of 'Schicht's Collection,' after the motett 'Ich lasse dicht Nioht' had been rejected as being by Johann Christoph Bach. The fact that it bears Bach's name in a MS. copy in Gott- hold Library at Konigsberg (No. 13569.2) proves little, since the copies of Bach's motetts in this collection appear to have been made by Schicht. The motett 'Lob und Ehre' is full of the grossest musical blunders, and it is BACH — BAKEU. ,69 difficult to imagine how it can so long have passed for Bach's work. In the collection of Herr Haiiser (Kammersanger), of Carlsruhe, the «ame motett is to he found in score and two parts, as a composition by Georg Gottfried Wagner, whom we may more readily suppose to be the author. Wagner, bom in 1698, was a St Thomas Scholar from 1712 to 1719, studied theology till 1726, and was still a performer in Bach's Choir from 1723 to 1726 ; he then became Cantor at Plauen. It is easy to understand from this that the work should frequently remind us of Bach, whom Wagner evidently took as his model." Bach, Carl Philipp Emanuel, third son of the above ; born at Weimar, March 14, 1714 ; studied at the Thomas School, Leipzig, and at Leipzig University and Frankfort-on-the-Oder, for the Law ; chamber musician and accompanist to the Court at Berlin, 1746 ; went to Hamburg as choirmaster, 1751; director of music in succession to Telemann at the Court, Hamburg, 1767 ; died at Hamburg, December 14, 1788. Composer of vocal and instrumental music. Weimab, No. 262 U.P.H., is assigned to him by Dr Layriz, but it seems doubtful if he composed it. Bacon, (Rev.) Robert ; B. A. Oxford, 1738 ; there is no record of his proceeding M.A. as generally stated ; Priest Vicar of Salis- bury Cathedral in 1753; died 1759.

Author of ' Daily Prayers for the Use of those who have to Work Hard,' as well as of a ' Daily Text-book,' for the same class, and other works. He was the originator in 1858 of ' Hymns Ancient and Modern,' as well as one of the principal compilers. Stephanos, No. 163 S.H., 267 F.C.H., and 120 U.P.H., was first published in the Appendix to ' Hymns Ancient and Modern,' 1868. St Timothy, No. 109 F.C.H. in the Eevised and Enlarged Edition of the same work, 1875. The harmonies of both tunes are by Dr W. H. Monk. Bamberg Gesangbuch. A Catholic book for the Bishopric of Bamberg in Bavaria. It contains songs for Sundays, Feast Days, and Holidays, by the Eev. Johann Leisentritt, and was published at Dilingen in 1575. According to Kocher's ' Zionsharfe,' Benison, No. 300 U.P.H., 29 F.C.H., there named " Havergal," Is from an edition issued in 1707. Baring-G-ould, Rev. Sabine, M.A., eldest son of Mr Edward Baring-Gould of Lew-Trenchard, Devon ; born at Exeter, January 28, 18.34 ; educated at Clare College, Cambridge, where he gradu- ated in 1854 ; took holy orders in 1864 ; Eector of East Mersea, Essex, 1871 to 1881 ; now of Lew-Trenchard, Lew Down, North Devon. EuDOxiA, No. 361 in S.H. and 371 in F.C.H., was first published in the Appendix to ' Hymns Ancient, and Modem,' 1868. The hymn to which it is set is also his, and was written in 1865. Barker, Slizabeth (not Baker, as in the U.P. Hymnal), daughter of Mr William Hacket of Aylestone Hall, Leicestershire ; bom at Leicester, 1829 ; pupil of G. A. Lohr ; married in 1853 to the Rev. Frederic Mills Raymond Barker, M.A., of Oriel College, Oxford ; joined the Catholic Church in 1867, when she took the additional names of Mary Agnes ; composer of much beautiful music. Mrs Barker composed, at the request of Dr Neale, tunes to his ' Hymns of the Eastern Church.' The first series, published BAENBY— BAEEOW. 71 in 1864, contains six hymns which were set to music at Bisley, Gloucestershire, ia 1863. One of these is the tune St John Damascene. This occurs as No. 271 in S.H., No. 184 in U.P.H. (where it is named ' ' Damascus "), but the form of the melody in both of these Hymnals is a corrupt one. The tune was a favourite with Dr Neale, who had it sung to him while on his death-bed. COBONA, No. 96 F.C.H. and 55 (Second Tune) U.P.H., 192 U.P.P., was also composed by Mrs Barker, and was published in the fourth series, which bears the title of ' Catholic Hymns,' 1868.

Barth^dmon, FranQois Hippolite, one of the most distin- guislLed violinists of his time, was born at Bordeaux, July 27, 1741. His father, Emanuel Barth^ldmon, held during many years a respectable situation under the French Government in one of their colonial departments ; and his mother, an Irish lady, was of a wealthy family in Queen's County. Young Barth^Mmon was for some time an officer in Berwick's Regiment in the Irish Brigade. " His gentlemanly manners and polite accomplishments, especially those of music and fencing, together with a knowledge of most of the modern languages, and no mean proficiency in the ancient Hebrew, Greek, and Celtic, acquired for him the admiration and esteem of all who knew him." He became the friend of the Earl of Kellie, who being himself passionately fond of music, soon became attached to him, and succeeded in inducing him to change his profession for that of music. He settled in England in 1765 under the protection and patronage of the Earl of Kellie, and his success as a violinist was pronounced ; indeed, wherever he performed, he was greeted with the greatest enthusiasm. In the same year he became leader of the Opera band, and in 1770 leader at Marylebone Gardens. In 1766 he married Miss Mary Young (died 1799), niece of Mrs Arne and Mrs Lampe, and in 1776 began a professional tour through Germany, Italy, and France. While at Florence he composed, at the request of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, an oratorio, " Jefte in Masfa." He also visited Dublin in 1784. Bartheldmon died in London, July 20, 1808. " As a player he was distinguished by the firmness of his hand, the purity of his tone, and his admi- rable manner of executing an adagio." His compositions include operas, string quartets, concertos, songs, organ preludes, &c. Morning Hymn, No. 278 S.H. (Second Tune), 297 U.P.H., 20 F.C.H., was composed by BartheUmon about 1780 for the hymn " Awake, my soul," at the request of the Rev. Jacob Duchfe, Chaplain to the Female Orphan Asylum, London. He also composed many hymn tunes and anthems for the same charity, and was awarded with a Governorship for life. Benjamin Jacob's ' National Psalmody ' (1819) contains the earliest copy the writer has seen. It is there described as "Morning Hymn as usually sung." Barton, 'William, " hymnologist," supposed to have been born about 1598 ; probably the same William Barton who was vicar of Mayfield, Staffordshire, at the opening of the civil wars, afterwards vicar of St Martin's in Leicester, where he died May 1678, aged eighty. His verse-translation of the Psalms was first published in 1644. It was reprinted and altered in 1645, 1646, 1651, 1654, and BAETON. 73 later. The text was revised by Barton for "tlie last time,'' and was posthumously republished in 1682. CoLBSHiLt, No. 324 U.P.H., 51 S.P., 63 P. and P., 20 and 195 U.P.P. This tune was at one time much used in Scotland, and especially on Com- munion Simdays, when it was sung to Psalm 103 ; but it is now rarely heard. Of late, however, interest in it has been reviving, from the fact that it is introduced by Mr Hamish M'Cunn into his setting of James Hyslop's poem, " The Cameronian's Dream." Some time ago a correspondence appeared in one of our leading newspapers regarding its origin and the length, of time it had been in use in Scotland, but nothing satisfactory was elicited ; and so far as the writer Icnows, the history of the tune has not yet been fully ascertained. In our Psalters it is usually marked "Author Unknown," and indeed there is no testimony to its origin and past history, save the tradition that it has been in use in Scotland for centuries ; yet it, may be traced to its source. We start with the fact that "ColeshiU" is not an original tune, but is simply an altered copy of the tune " Dundee " or " Windsor." This will be abundantly evident to all who compare the melodies of these tunes. The question now naturally arises. What is the source of "Dundee" or " Windsor " ? This we are able to answer. (See Tye, C!hristopher.) Of this altered form of "Dundee " or " Windsor " we have various examples. It occurs in William Barton's 'The Book of Psalms in Metre Close and Proper to the Hebrew, Smooth and Pleasant for the Metre ; Plain and Easie for the Tune, with Musical Notes, Arguments, Annotations, and Index. Fitted for the ready use and understanding of all good Christians. . . . London : Printed by Matthe\y Simmons, for the Companie of Stationers, 1644.' It is, there described as "London, long tune, proper tot Solemn ditties, and used everywhere," and appears in the following form: — ■^ -^—^-r-f^=7rh^-^ f=^ =^ =!»: * Doubtless a misprint for E, or in Sol-fa m.

(See that name.) To Moore perhaps belongs the credit of introducing the tune into Scotland ; at all events he seems to have been the first to publish it, for it is found in his ' Psalm Singer's Delightful Pocket Companion,' Glasgow (1762), under the name "Coleshill," and with the following directions: "Sing 'Dundee' Bass and Counter to this Tune." It is not found in any of the Scottish Psalmodies published before Moore's book (so far as the writer knows), but after 1762 editors seem to have been of the opinion that their collections were not complete without it. It is set to Psalm 103 in ' The Psalms of David in Metre. . . . Allowed by the Authority of the General Assembly of the Kirk of Scotland, and appointed to be sung in Congregations and Families. With Twenty-three Select Psahn-Tunes. Particularly adapted to the subject of the Psalms to which they are set.' Printed by Alexander Adam, Glasgow, 1773. For what reasons were the alterations made on " Dundee " or " Windsor " ? The late Mr John Dobson of Richmond was of the opinion that the substitu- tion of the dominant for the sharp seventh at the close of the first and third strains, and the second for the same at the close of the last strain, was made to adapt the tune to chimes. Is it not probable that the alterations at the close of the first and third strains were made to avoid the interval G sharp to C, which is neither melodious nor easy to sing ? At all events, congrega- tions in last century seem to have had difficulty in singing the G sharp, for Robert Bremner In his 'Treatise on Music ' (Edinburgh, 1756), says: "The ' Dundee ' tune . . . has been laid aside by such precentors or church clerks as have been regularly taught, because they found it was impossible to bring their congregations to fall the half-note, they having been in use for many years past to fall a whole note — ^that is, to sing G natural instead of G sharp." To get over the difficulty, Bremner recommended that B natural should be used, and the G sharp transferred to an inner part. It is a matter for regret that "Coleshill," with its hallowed associations, should fall into disuse in our Scottish churches. Probably one reason why it is so seldom heard is, that praise leaders have got hold of the idea that it can only be used with such a psalm as ' ' Jehovah hear thee in the day " ; let them adapt it, however, to "God is our refuge and our strength," sing it quickly and boldly, and we feel sure they will admit its suitability to that psalm and to others of a similar character. Battishill, Jonathan, son of Mr Jonathan Battishill, solicitor, and Mary Leverton of Great Torrington ; bom in London, May 1738; chorister in St Paul's Cathedral under William Savage, 1748 ; organist of the united parishes of St Clement, Eastcheap, 76 BIOGKAPHICAL SKETCHES. and St Martin, Orgar, London ; afterwards of Christ Churcli, New- gate Street, 1767 ;; died at Islington, December 10, 1801, and was buried in St Paul's Cathedral.

Beaty composed the tune Tenderness, No. 398 S.H., 382 P.C.H., 337 U.P.H. (there named " Caritas "), for the children of Lady Harberton's School, Dublin, in 1830. It is, however, seldom assigned to him. Beckwith, John (Christmas ?), born at Norwich on Christ- mas Day, 1750 ; pupil and assistant successively to Dr William Hayes and Dr Philip Hayes at Magdalen College, Oxford ; appointed organist of St Peter's, Mancrofts, Norwich, January 16, 1794 ; graduated Mus. Bac. and Doc. at Oxford in 1803, and in 1808 succeeded Thomas Garland as organist of Norwich Cathedral, retaining his office at St Peter's ; died in consequence of a paralytic stroke, June 3, 1809 ; buried at St Peter's, Mancrofts. Of his organ-playing Professor Taylor said : " I have never heard Dr Beckwith's equal upon the organ either in this country or in Germany. . . . Neither is this my opinion only, but that of every competent judge who has heard him." He had a remarkable power of extemporising, and would frequently play four extempore organ fugues at one Sunday's services. There is some doubt as to whether Dr Beckwith was christened John Christmas, or whether his second name was only a nickname. In the works he published 78 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. he is described as John Beck with, but in the register of his burial the name is stated as " John Christmas Beckwith, married man, an organist of this parish," and it is by this name he is generally known. Some years ago the writer endeavoured to find in what parish he was born, but without success. Chakt in D, No. 212 U.P.P., is from 'The First Verse of every Psalm of David, with an Ancient or Modern Chant in Score,' published by Dr Beckwith in 1808. Beethoven, Ludwig van, born at Bonn, December 16, 1770 ; one of the greatest of modern musicians ; resided chiefly at Vienna, where he died March 26, 1827; interred in Wahring Cemetery ; re-interred in the Central Cemetery, Vienna, June 22, 1888. The tunes bearing his name are adaptations from his works. Emmandbl or IMMANUEL, No. 402 S.H., 63 in S.P., 71 in F.C.H., and 94 in U.P.P. (there named " Consolation "), is a ridiculous perversion of the Theme of the Finale of his Quintett, Op. 16. Beethoven, No. 220 F.C.H. (Second Tune), is an adaptation from his Sonata in A flat. Op. 26 ; and Sakms, No. 231 F.C.H. (First Tune), is from a Romance for Violin, Op. 40. Walton, No. 39 P. and P., 26 in S.P., and 7 in F.C.H., appears in this form in Cotterill's ' Christian Psalmody, for Congregational or Family Use,' 1831, It had been published before that time as a Psalm Tune in a slightly different form by William Gardiner in his ' Sacred Melodies from Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven, adapted to the best English Poets,' vol. ii, (1815), and is headed " Subject from Beethoven." Although it is generally assigned to Beethoven, Sir George Grove, Mr Ernst Pauer, Mr Ebenezer Prout, and Mr August Manns are of the opinion that it is not from any of his works. Mr Manns thinks it " is rather more in sympathy with the German Volkslied than the spirit of Beethoven's ' Song Melodies.' " It may be noted here that the opening line is identical with the commencing symphony in Mozart's air Possenti Numi in the opera of the " Magic Flute." Bell, John Montgomerie, Writer to the Signet ; son of Mr Alexander Montgomerie Bell, Writer to the Signet and Pro- fessor of Conveyancing in the University of Edinburgh ; born in Edinburgh, May 28, 1837, and educated there ; studied music under Professor Donaldson at the University ; amateur composer of many fine hymn tunes, anthems, &c.

Selvillb, No. 148 in P. and P., was composed in 1869, and first published in a tentative collection issued by the Free C!huToh in 1870 ; New 143d, No. 211 in P. and P., was partly composed for and first published there. S.S., No. 21 F.C.H., "They that be wise," was composed for that work. Bennett, Robert, sixth son of John Bennett, was born at Bakewell, Derbyshire, and was baptised in Bakewell Church, February 6, 1788. His father removed to Cambridge in 1791, on being appointed Lay-Clerk in the united choir of King's, Trinity, and St John's Colleges, a post he held for thirty-six years, and then retired on his full pension. Eobert Bennett was a chorister in King's College, and on leaving the choir, June 24, 1804, was articled to Dr Clarke-Whitfeld, then organist of Trinity College, and afterwards Professor of Music in the University. Alter serving his apprenticeship, Robert Bennett remained with Dr Clarke- Whitfeld for four years as a pupil in composition and assistant- organist. On June 10, 1811, he was appointed organist to the Parish Church, Sheffield ; and in the following year (May 12, 1812) he married Elizabeth, daughter of James Donn, a botanist of some mark, and the first curator of the Botanical Gardens at Cambridge. As a teacher Bennett took a prominent place in Sheffield and the neighbourhood. He became an adherent of the Logierian system, and was so far valued by its founder as to be intrusted with the education of his son, Henry Logier, who went to Sheffield as an articled pupil. He published six songs (dedicated to the Duke of Devonshire) to words furnished by his friend Mr William Stem- dale, after whom he named his only son, a notice of whose career is given below. Eobert Bennett died November 3, 1819, and was buried in Ecclesall churchyard, near Sheffield. Bastqate, No. 182 in S.P., was composed by him, and was for many years indelibly associated in Scotland with Psalm 133. The second edition of R. A. Smith's ' Sacred Music . . . Sung in St George's Church, Edinburgh ' (1828), contains the earliest copy the writer has seen in a Scottish psalmody. The tune is known by the name of "Bennett's" in England. Cotterill's ' Christian Psalmody ' (1831) contains three tunes by Bennett, but " Eastgate " is not there, Bennett, Sir William Sterndale, Mus.

Johann Georg Bernhard, born May 17, 1762, at Miihlhausen in Thuringia ; organist of the principal church at Miihlhausen, where he died, April 14, 1814. He published, under the nom de plume of H. G. Demme, ' Neue Christliche Lieder,' Gotha, 1799. The work contains 51 tunes, of which 32 are by J. R. Able ; the others, except a few by Beutler himself, are com- posed by Joachim Von Burgk, and Johann Eccard, arranged by Beutler. Hall, No. 16 iu P. and P., is his, and stands No. 51 in the above work, set to the words — " Geweihter Ort wo Saat, von Gott." By repeating the first two lines, the tune will appear as composed by Bentler.. Bilby, Thomas, son of Mr John Bilby, born at Southampton, April 18, 1794 ; served eight years in the army ; then studied the infant-school system under a Mr Buchanan, who is said to have founded the first Infant School in England ; in 1825 took charge of the Training School at Chelsea ; in 1835 went to the West Indies, and introduced his system of teaching there ; founded in connection with Mr J. S. Reynolds the Home and Colonial School Society for training infant-school teachers ; held the post of parish clerk in St Mary's, Islington, for twenty-eight years ; died there September 24, 1872, and was buried in Finchley cemetery. The tune Joyful (associated with Bilby's Hymn "Here we suffer grief and pain"), No. 350 U.P.H., 437 S.H., 379 F.C.H., was composed by him for a school treat. It is doubted by some if Bilby composed it, but his son, Mr Henry Bilby, Parish Clerk of St Mary's, Islington, claims for his father both the tune and the hymn.

Doc, by faculty from the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury ; born at North Collingham, Nottinghamshire, 1648 2 ; chorister in the Chapel Eoyal, 1660 ; organist of West- minster Abbey, 1669 to 1680, and 1695 to 1708 ; Gentleman of the Chapel Eoyal 1673-74, Master of the Choristers 1674, and one of the organists there about 1676 ; Almoner and Master of the Clhoristers of St Paul's Cathedral, London, 1687 to 1693 ; composer to the Chapel Royal, 1699 ; died in London, October 1, 1708. Chant, No. 223 in S.P., appears at the end of the seventh edition of John Playford's ' A Brief Introduction to the Skill of Music,' 1674. Bohemian Hsminal, 1531. The above contained a German version of some of the old Bohemian hymns already printed in Czech in 1505, and even earlier. The translation was made by Michael Weisse, pastor of a German congregation at Landskron, for the use of his own flock. The old Bohemian hymns and melodies were in great part pre- served. This book is cited as the earliest known source of 1 This is probable, though the books of the College contain no reference to his having held the office of organist there. He was buried at the College, as will be seen by the following extract from the Winchester Cathedral Eegister of 1737— "Mr John Bishop (organist), bury'd at the College, Decemr. 22." 2 The Records of North Collingham contain no entry of the birth or baptism of Blow, although they were searched at the writer's instigation. May 5, 1889. A MS. note of Anthony k Wood's, in his 'Athense Oxoni- ensis,' shows that Dr Rogers told Wood that Blow was born in London. 82 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. Landskeon, No. 276 F.C.H. (Third Tune), which may, however, have been known in Bohemia much earlier. Eavenshaw, No. 257 P.C.H. This ancient church melody, assigned to the twelfth century, is set to Weisse's hymn, " Menschenkind merk eben," and styled " Ave Hierarchia." The version in the F.C.H. is considerably reduced. Bortnianski, Dimitri, was born in 1751 in the village of Gloutroff in the Ukraine. He became a chorister in the Imperial Chapel at St Petersburg, and there he studied music under Galuppi. In 1768 he removed to Italy to pursue his studies. Shortly after his return to Russia (in 1779) he was appointed Director of the Imperial Choir at St Petersburg, where he died October 28, 1828. He was a distinguished composer of sacred music, and has been styled by some the Russian Palestrina. St Petehsbueg, No. 175 in S.H. and 176 in U.P.H. (there named "Wells," the title by which it is commonly known). Is adapted from a hymn tune sung in the Chapel of the British Embassy at St Petersburg. Bowdler, Cyril, Mus. Bac. This is the nom de plume of an amateur, holding an important position in the War Office, and who has composed some excellent hymn tunes, but courts anon- ymity. He has published several collections of hymn tunes. BowDLER, No. 404 in S.H., is his. Boyce, 'William., Mus. Doc, was born in London, 1710. As a chorister of St Paul's Cathedral he received his first instruction in music from Charles King, and afterwards became an articled pupU of Dr Maurice Greene. In 1734 he became organist of Oxford Chapel, Vere Street, London ; in 1736 organist of St Michael's, Cornhill, and one of the composers and joint organists to the Chapel Royal ; and in 1749 organist of All-hallows, Thames Street. In the same year he received the degrees of Bachelor and Doctor in Music from the University of Cambridge. He died Febifiary 7, 1779, and was buried in St Paul's Cathedral. Charles Wesley wrote a hymn on his death beginning " Father of heroes, farewell." Sharon, No. 14 S.H., 220 U.P.H., and 221 F.C.H., appears without a name in ' A Collection of Melodies for the Psalms of David, according to the Version of Christopher Smart, A.M. By the most Eminent Composers of Church Music ' (1765), and is there set in two parts to Psalm 4. Chapel Eotal, No. 309 in F.C.H., is also from the same work, where it bears no name and is set to Psalm 1. BRADBURY — BREMNEK. 83 Morning Hymn, No. 278 (First Tune) in S.H., is assigned by Dibdin to Dr Boyce, but it does not appear in the collections to which he contributed. It may be an adaptation from one of his anthems or songs, Chakt in D, No. 211 U.P.P. and 248 S.P., appears in Vandeman's Col- lection, 1770 (the title of which is quoted under Battishill), where it is as- signed to a Mr Davis. As Dr Boyce and Vandernan were both connected with the Chapel Royal when the Chant was published, it is very prob- able that Davis and not Dr Boyce is composer. No. 233 S.P,, is found in Harrison's ' Sacred Harmony,' vol. ii. (1791). Bradbury, William. Batchelder, was born at York, Maine, U.S.A., January 16, 1816. In 1830 he went to Boston, and became an organist ; and in 1836 he settled at New York as a teacher. In 1847 he studied under Hauptmann and others at Leipzig. His compositions are very numerous, and many of his hymn tunes are exceedingly popular in this country, Bradbury died at Montclair, New Jersey, January 7, 1868. His tune Even Mb, No. 165 S.H., 322 U.P.H., 222 F.C.H., was first published in ' The Golden Shower,' which he edited, in 1862. Jesus Loves Mb, No. 405 ; Heavenly Land, No. 434 ; and Whither, Pilgrims? No. 439, all in S.H., were first published in ' The Golden Chain ' (also edited by him), 1861. Philadelphia, No. 19 S.P., was composed in 1843, and published in 'The Psalmodist,' which Bradbury edited in conjunction with Dr Thomas Hastings. Its original name is " Zephyr." Little Pilgrim, No. 368 F.C.H, It is doubtful if this is the composition of Bradbury. It is, however, American. S. S., No. 6 F.C.H. and 48 U.P.H., " Cast thy burden on the Lord," was published for the first time in the ' New York Choralist,' 1847. Braun, Johann Georg, precentor in Eger, Bohemia, in the latter half of the seventeenth century. Hermon, No. 314 (Second Tune) P.C.H., and 227 in S.H, (First Tune), (there named "Braun"), and Meinau, No. 138 S.H., are from his 'Echo Hymnodae Coelestis,' 1675. Bremner, Bobert, born (according to Dr Eimbault) in Scot- land about 1720 ; pupil of Geminiani ; teacher of singing in Edinburgh ; about 1748 commenced business as a musicseller in the High Street there, under the sign of the " Harp and Hautboy".; afterwards settled in London, and began business with the same sign, opposite Somerset House in the Strand; published many collections of Scotch music ; died at Kensington Gore, May 12, 1789. He published at Edinburgh in 1756 'The Rudiments of 84 BIOGEAPHICAL SKETCHES. Music ; or, A Short and Easy Treatise on that Subject, to which is added, A Collection of the best Church Tunes, Canons, and Anthems.' St Paul, No. 142 in P. and P., 61 in U.P.P., 130 U.P.H., 85 F.C.H., 160 S.P., is iirst found by the writer in Bremner's work, set in two parts, and bearing its present name. It seems to be of Scotcli origin, as it is not found in the English Psalmodies published before Bremner's work. It was cer- tainly in use in Aberdeen in 1755, if not earlier ; and in the second edition of Bremner's work, with considerable additions, and "A Plan for Teaching a Croud," 1762, it is set in four parts, and named "Aberdeen or St Paul's." Dr Mainzer and others ascribed the tune to a, William Tate, but little weight can be attached to the ascription. To ascribe it to Nahum Tate is erroneous in the extreme. He died in 1715, and if he composed it, it is singular that no earlier copy than that mentioned above has been found. Bremner's book of 1756 contains among others the following tunes, which is perhaps their first appearance in a Scotch collection : — St Matthew's, St Ann's, Hanover, St Mary, St James's (Courteville).

For the celebration of the Queen's Jubilee in Westminster Abbey (21st June 1887), he arranged all the music and composed a special anthem, for which he received the thanks of her Majesty, and the Silver Jubilee Medal. His compositions include a setting of Mr Gladstone's Latin translation of Toplady's hymn, " Rock of Ages," which was performed at the Birmingham Festival of 1885 ; also a cantata, " Callirhoe," pro- duced at the Birmingham Festival of 1888 ; an oratorio, " The Repentance of Nineveh," composed for and performed at the Worcester Musical Festival, September 1890. Elected Gresham Professor of Music in succession to Dr Henry Wylde, May 1, 1890.

Briegel, Wolfgang Carl, born May 21, 1626 ; educated in Nurnberg, where he was a treble singer in the chapel ; organist at BEOOMFIELD — BEOWN. 85 Stettin ; after 1650 Court precentor at Gotha in the service of Duke Ernst the Pious, when he first made himself publicly known by his sacred arias and concertos published at Erfurt in 1652. He is designed as " Music Director to the princely house of Friedenstein." He left Gotha probably after the death of Duke Ernst in 1675, and betook himself to Darmstadt as Court Chapel Master in the service of Landgrave Ludwig VI. of Hesse-Darmstadt, an office he retained tUl his death in November 1712. In 1687 Briegel issued an im- portant collection of chorales, which is known as the Darmstadt Cantional, and in which will be found, beginning on page 537, ZUMCH, No. 2 U.P.H., 134 and 242 S.H., set to the words, "AUe Menschen mussen sterben," &c. The composer Is unknown. Broomfleld, Williani Robert, son of Mr William Broomfleld ; bom at Inverary, Argyleshire, October 14, 1826 ; baptised Novem- ber 22 ; studied music under John Turnbull at Glasgow, where he resided for some time ; settled in Aberdeen about 1850, and died there October 16, 1888 ; buried in the " Strangers' Ground," but reinterred in Allanvale Cemetery, July 1889 ; author of ' The Priuciples of Ancient and Modern Music,' Aberdeen, 1863 ; com- poser of many psalm and hymn tunes, two of which (never pub- Kshed) are in the possession of J. Cuthbert Hadden, Esq., Edin- burgh. St Kilda, No. 4 U.P.P., 138 S.P., 92 F.C.H., was originally named " Strathpeffer," and first published on single slips about 1850. It is cut on a handsome monument erected over his grave by public subscription. ZiON, No. 180 S.P., was published in the 'Scottish Psalmist,' Aberdeen, 1876, but was circulated in MS. before that time. Brown, Arthur Henry, born at Brentwood, Essex, July 24, 1830 ; organist of the church of St Thomas the Martyr, Brentwood, 1842 to 1853 ; of the church of St Edward the Confessor, Eomford, Essex, till 1858 ; and since that time again organist of Brentwood, and a professor of music there ; organist also of St Peter's Church, South Weald. St Anatolius, No. 294 (First Tune) in S.H., and 304 in F.C.H., was com- posed for the hymn to which it is set on February 8, 1862, and published in November following along with a few others. AlLHALLOWs, No. 118 F.C.H., was composed October 2, 1862, and first published in the ' Bristol Tune Book,' 1863. S. S., No. 8, "What shall I render?" and 27, "0 death, where is thy sting?" in F.C.H., were composed for and first published in that collection. 86 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. Brown-Borthwick, Rev. Robert, son of Mr Robert Brown of H.M. Civil Service ; Scottish divine and amateur musician ; bom at Aberdeen, May 18, 1840 ; educated at St Mary's Hall, Oxford, which he left without graduating ; afterwards, in 1865, took holy orders ; curate of Sudeley Manor, Gloucestershire, and chaplain to the Winchoomb Union ; curate of Evesham, Worces- tershire, and assistant minister of Quebec Chapel, London ; incum- bent of Holy Trinity, Grange-in-Borrowdale, Cumberland, 1869 to 1872 ; since 1872 vicar of All Saints, Scarborough. Mr Brown assumed the additional name of Borthwick in 1868, on his marriage with Grace (died 1884), the only surviving daughter of the late Mr John Borthwick of Borthwick Castle. His tiine Aberdeen, No. 219 in S.P., was composed about 1866 for Psalm 136, and first published in the ' Supplemental Hymn and Tune Book,' which he edited. Bryan, Cornelius, was born at Bristol about the year 1775, biTt all the writer's attempts to find the exact year of his birth have proved unsuccessful. He became organist of St Mark's (the Mayor's Chapel), Bristol, and afterwards of St Mary Eedcliffe Church, both of which appoiutments he held at the same time. While conducting his operetta of " Lundy " (never published) at the Theatre Eoyal, Bristol, he fell down a trap-door on the stage, which was not properly fastened, and so injured his spine that he died, March 18, 1840, a few days after the accident. Bryan was considered a good organist ; and he was an excellent musician, as his compositions testify. About 1830 1 he published ' A Collection of the most esteemed Psalm Tunes, Ancient and Modern, Selected and Harmonized for Four Voices, and interspersed with a few original Compositions.' Seebnity, No. 204 P. and P., and 204 S.P., appears there as shown below, set to Psalm 25th, and is nameless.

Charles and Susannah, son and daughter of James and Anne Macburney, bapt the 5th Day." The prefix Mac was dropped by the children as they grew into active life. This fact does not seem to have been noticed by musical writers. 88 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES, 1751 ; Mus. Bac, and Mus. Doc, Oxford, 1769 ; organist of Chelsea College from 1783 till he died, AprH 12, 1814. Author of 'A General History of Music,' 4 volumes, and other works. Madame d'Arblay, the author of the celebrated 'Diary,' ' Evelina,' ' Cecilia,' &c., was his daughter. Tbueo, No. 117 in S.H., commonly assigned to Burney, appears on page 65 of Thomas Williams's ' Psalmodia Evangelioa, A Complete Set of Psalm and Hymn Tunes for Public Worship,' 1789. It is there anonymous, hut Burney's tunes have his name attached to them. The ■writer can find no authority for assigning "Truro " to Burney. As he was alive and eminent as a musician and author when Williams published the above work, his name would certainly have been given as composer there. In Isaac Smith's ' Collection of Psalm Tunes,' the fifth edition, with great additions by S. Major — published after 1787 — the tune is also found, but is anonymous. Dr Burney contributed eight tunes to ' The Look Collection,' 1769. Caldbeck, Q, T. (not Caldeok), an amateur ; for some time a missionary in China. Pax Tecum, No. 226 S.H. (Second Tune), and 292 F.C.H. When in China he became deeply impressed with the beauty of the hymn, "Peace, perfect peace," and although by no means skilled in music, he composed as best he could a tune for it, the MS. of which he sent to the author of the hymn, the Rev. E. H. Bickersteth (now the Bishop of Exeter). After under- going some alterations, it was published in its present form in the ' Revised and Enlarged Edition of the Hymnal Companion to the Book of Common Prayer,' 1878. Calkin, Joh.n Baptiste, was horn in London, March 16, 1827; studied under his father ; organist of St Coluraba College, Ireland, from 1846 to 1853 ; organist and choir-master of Wobum Chapel, 1853 to 1857 ; organist and choir-master of Camden Koad Chapel, 1863 to 1868; of St Thomas's Church, Camden, New Town, London, 1870 to 1884 ; Professor at the Guildhall School of Music and Croydon Conservatoire ; Member of Council, Trinity College ; Fellow of College of Organists ; author of many published works, including services, anthems, part-songs, glees, songs, original organ music, hymn tunes, &c.

CAiiCOTT, No. 40 (Second Tune) S.H., lis adapted from the music he set about the year 1794 to the following words, which will be found on a tomb- stone in Eroding Churchyard, Isle of Wight, erected by one Robert Berry In memory of his wife, who died August 24, 1790, aged twenty-five years : — I. " Forgive, blest shade, the tributary tear That mourns thy exit from a world like this ; Forgive the wish that would have kept thee here. And stayed thy progress to the seats of bliss. n. No more confined to grov'ling scenes of night, No more a tenant pent in mortal clay ; We rather now should hail thy glorious flight. And trace thy progress to the realms of day." In 1791 Dr Callcott edited, in conjunction with Dr Samuel Arnold, ' The Psalms of David, for the Use of Parish Churches.' Lahgholm, No. 104 P. and P., is on page 97 of the above work, and is there set to Psalm 90, and named " Lancaster." Dunblane, No. 18 U.P.P., on page 45 set to Psalm 39, and named " Funeral." S. S., No. 67 U.P.H., "I was glad," and No. 83, "Awake, awake," appear in 'Anthems, Hymns, Psalms, and Sentences sung at the Asylum Chapel. ' Music chiefly composed by Dr J. W. Callcott. No date.

Intercession, No. 330 F.C.H., and 273 0.P.H., was composed in 1865 for ' Psalms and Hymns for Divine Worship,' for the use of the Presbyterian Church in England, 1867 (Nlsbet & Co.) The last two lines are taken from "Look down on us," an air and chorus in Mendelssohn's oratorio "Elijah," composed for and performed at the Birmingham Musical Festival, 1846. Callow, Harriet Anne, born in London, October 20, 1817, was the younger of the two daughters of the late Henry Smart 90 BIOGEAPHICAL SKETCHES. the elder (a skilful violinist in London in the early part of the present century), also niece of Sir George Smart. She was one of a musical family, her mother being a clever teacher of vocal and instrumental music, and her brother the celebrated composer and organist, Henry Smart (see that name). She herself, though inheriting the tastes and talents of the family, never took part in professional life, being early married to Mr William Callow, " Member of the Eoyal Society of Painters in Water Colours," of Great Missenden, Bucks, where the greater portion of her married life was spent. She was singularly gifted (being a clever linguist), and highly intellectual. She died in London, June 30, 1883. Her tune SouTUDE, No. 366 in S.H., was specially composed for ' The Children's Hymn Book ' (1881). Camidge, John, the younger, organist and composer ; grand- son of John Camidge the elder, born in York 1790 ; pupil of his father Matthew Camidge ; graduated as Mus. Bac, at Cambridge, 1812 ; Mus. Doc, 1819 ; assistant to his father ; succeeded him 15th October 1842, and held the post till his death, which took place at York, September 29, 1859 ; on 28th November 1848 he became paralysed while playing the evening service, and never again touched the organ. DoxOLOGT, No. 17 (Sanctus I.) in U.P.H. and S.S., 14 P.C.H., was com- posed by Camidge for ' Sacred Harmony, for Use in St George's Church, Edinburgh,' edited by the Eev. Dr Andrew Thomson, in 1820. The work also contains another original Sanctus by Camidge, and a Long Metre Tune by his father. A perusal of the following notices will show that the Camidges held the office of organist at York Minster for upwards of a hundred years. Camidge, John, the elder, bom at York, 1735 ; chorister in York Minster under Dr Nares, to whom he was articled for seven years, after which he studied in London under Dr Greene, and received some lessons from Handel ; on his return to Yorkshire, Camidge became a candidate for the post of organist at Doncaster Parish Church, but the Dean of York hearing him play, offered him the appointment of organist to York Minster, where he entered upon his duties on 31st January 1756 ; famous as a brilliant and extempore organ-player ; resigned his oflce as organist November 11, 1799 ; died April 25, 1803. Camidge, Matthew, son of John Camidge the elder, bom at York,, 1758 (not 1764 as commonly stated) ; chorister of the Chapel CAMPION — CAEEY. 91 Eoyal under Dr Nares ; on returning to York became assistant to his father, on whose resignation in 1799 he was appointed his successor, retiring 8th October 1842 ; died October 23, 1844, aged eighty-six years. Campion, or Campian, Thomas, M.D., a physician by profession, was a poet, dramatist, composer, and >vriter on music in the early part of the seventeenth century ; died in London, 1619 ; buried in the Church of St Dunstan in the West, Fleet Street, March 1st of that year. He published about 1613 ' Two Bookes of Ayres, the First contayning Diuine and Morall Songs.' No. 14 in Book First is the tune Babylon Steeams, No. 2 P. & P., and 21 XJ.P.P., set to the following :— " As by the streames of Babilon, Farre from our natiue soyle we sat, Sweet Sion thee we thought vpon, And ew'ry thought a tear hegat," &c. It is wrongly assigned by some to Thomas Ravenscroft. It appears in Moore's 'Delightful Pocket Companion,' Glasgow (1762), which is the first time the writer finds it in a Scotch Psalmody. Cantiques sacrez pour les principales Solemultez des Chretiens, &o., Cassel, 1740, contains the tune Beoadlands, No. 172 U.P.H., 209 P. and P. It is set to Cantique 34 on page 190, and the second cadence reads thus — Key Eb. ^:n |f :1 Is :fe |s :- 1- || It was altered to its present form by Dr Eimbault, and published in ' Psalms and Hymns for Divine Worship,' London, Nisbet & Co., 1867, where it bears its present name. Carey, Henry, a reputed natural son of George SaviUe, Marquis of Halifax, was a popular composer and dramatist in the beginning of the eighteenth century. He composed largely for the theatre. Of all his compositions^ the most popular, and that which will transmit his name to posterity, is his ballad of " Sally in our Alley," one of the most striking melodies ever com- posed. Carey died in London, October 4, 1743. His tune Oabets, No. 5 P. and P., and- 161 U.P.P., was composed for Addison's 92 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. Paraphrase of Psalm 23, and appears in ' John Church's Psalmody,' 1723. It seems to have heen first published in Scotland in ' Henry Boyd's Collec- tion,' Glasgow, 1793. Easter Hymn, No. 169 (Second Tune) F.C.H., is assigned to Carey, hut without sufficient authority. See Lyra Davidica. Carter, Kev. Sdmund Sardinson, M.A., son of the late Rev. William Carter, Eector of SMrgsby, Yorkshire ; bom at New Malton, Yorkshire, February 3, 1845 ; educated at Durham Grammar School — elected " King's Scholar " 1858 — and Worcester College, Oxford — elected "Eaton Scholar" 1864; graduated B.A. and M.A. June 1871 ; curate of Christ Church, Ealing, Middlesex, 1871 to 1875 ; vicar-choral of York Minster from 1875 to the present time ; rector of St Martin-cum-Gregory, York, 1877 ; vicar of St Michael-le-Belfrey, York, 1882 ; a self-taught musician. His tune Day by Day, No. 407 S.H., was composed ahout 1865, and first published in ' Church Hymns with Tunes,' edited by Sir Arthur S. SulliTan, 1874. Case, B. Madrid, No. 372 S.H., 182 F.C.H., 339 U.P.H., is assigned to a composer of the above name in the 'Washington Harmony,' byT. B. White, 2d edition, 1833, and is there named " Ascription. " In later publications it is also ascribed to Case. Mason and Webb in their ' National Psalmist ' call it a " Spanish Melody," but it is questionable if it is like Spanish music of any kind. It appears in the following form in ' A Collection of Metrical Versions, with Sixty Psalms and Fifty Hymns, by the most approved Authors.' By Montagu Burgoyue, Esq.

Bichard, M.A., Oxford, was born in London, November 8, 1748 ; appointed minister of St John's Chapel, Bedford Row, London, 1780 ; Lecturer at Christ Church, Spital- fields, 1787 ; Rector of Bisley, and Vicar of Chobham, Surrey, 1800 ; died August 15, 1810. S. S., No. 16 U.P.H., 25 F.C.H., "I will arise," was published in 'The Psalm and Hymn Tunes used at St John's Chapel, Bedford Eow,' edited in 1814 by the composer's daughter, Theophania Cecil (died November 15, 1879, aged ninety-seven years and six months), who was for many years organist of that chapel. Champneys, Francis Henry, born in London, March 25, 1848 ; educated at Winchester College, and Brasenose College, Oxford, where he graduated M.A. and M.B. 1875 ; Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, London, 1882 ; pupil of Sir John Goss, and amateur composer. Wrongly described as Mus. Doc, in S.H. His tunes Sales, No. 105 S.H. and 275 F.C.H., and Assist, No. 43 S.H., were composed for, and first published in, the Revised and Enlarged Edition of ' Hymns Ancient and Modern,' 1875. The Three Kings, No. 32 (Second Tune) S.H., was composed at Oxford about 1866. Cliandler, S., an American musician who flourished during the close of the last and the beginning of the present centuries, and was resident in or near Troy, New York. His biography is obscure. Hull, No. 311 F.C.H., is assigned in several American collections to Chandler. The earliest copy the writer has seen is in John Wyeth's 'Repository of Sacred Music,' 1812, where itis named "Ganges." In 'A Small Collection of Sacred Music,' printed by A. Davisson for Stephen D. Puller, July 1825, the tune is named " Indian Philosopher," and set to a hymn written by an Indian preacher, the Rev. Samson Cecum (1723-1792). In Andrew Law's 'Christian Harmony,' 1792, there are three tunes by Chandler, and five in the 'New York and Vermont Collection of Sacred Music,' by F. Atwill, second edition, 1804. Chetliam, Eev. John, appointed Master of the Clerk's School, Skipton, Yorkshire, March 1737 ; Curate of Skipton in June 1739 ; died August 1763 ;i buried on the 29th of that month at Skipton, 1 Chetham is generally stated to have died before 1761, as he is spoken of in the ' Compleat Psalmodist,' by J. Arnold, fifth edition, 1761, as " the late Reverend Mr John Chetham." This must be an error, as the facts given above were brought to light by the writer from the Skipton Church Records. 94 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. He edited 'A Book of Psalmody, ... All Set in Four Parts,' 1718. From this — the first edition — where they bear no names, come Aeotdel, No. 16 U.P.P., and St Albans, No. 122 in P. and P. S.S., No. 179 U.P.H., "Behold, the Lord is my salvation," is in the same work. It is also found in Israel Holdroyd's ' Spiritual Man's Companion,' fifth edition, with large additions, 1753.

Richard Robert, born September 21, 1830 ; educated at Exeter College, Oxford, where he graduated in 1855 ; took holy orders in 1856 ; Vicar of St Augustine's, Queen's Gate, London, since 1865. Heebert, No. 277 in S.H., is from his ' Congregational Hymn and Tune Book,' 1862, which is one of the most important of modem hymnals, Dr Dykes having contributed to it many of his finest hymn tunes. Clarkji Jeremiah, born in London in 1670 or earlier, entered the Chapel Koyal as a chorister under Dr Blow. After leaving the choir he became organist at Winchester College. In 1693 his master, Dr Blow, resigned in his favour the appointments of Almoner and Master of the Children of St Paul's Cathedral. About 1695 he was appointed organist of St Paul's, and in 1704 he became joint-organist of the Chapel Royal with Dr Croft. He " shot himself at the Golden Cup in St Paul's Church- Yard," December the 1st, 1707, and was buried in St Gregory's by St Paul's, December the 3d. Clark's compositions for the Church " abound in melody which time has not antiquated, and are rich in harmony and pathos." His death was lamented by Edward Ward (the London spy), who concludes what was intended to be a pathetic ode with the following lines : — " Let us not therefore wonder at his fall, Since 'twas not so unnatural For him who lived by Canon to expire by Ball." 1 There is no record of Clark's having graduated Mus, Doc, although he is described as such in the S.H. and S.P., and several works on musical biography.

Arranged for Four Voices, with an Accompaniment for the Organ or Pianoforte,' 1843 — a supplement appearing in 1844. In 1865 he compiled ' The Praise Book.' The work by which he will be best remembered is ' The Standard Psalm Tune Book,' 1852, a large and important collection of old church tunes, but which is notoriously untrustworthy as regards the source and authorship of the tunes.

Chant, No. 213 S.P. Dougall, NeH, son of Neil Dougall and Jean Moir, was bom at Greenock, December 9, 1776. His father (a wright by trade) was iijipressed into the service of his country, and died in the island of Ceylon, when NeU, the subject of the present notice, was about four years of age. He (Neil) afterwards removed to Cartsdyke with his mother, living in a small property which was now in- herited by him. He was kept regularly at school till he was fifteen years of age. Fond of boating and the sea, like most boys brought up in a seaport town, he determined to be a sailor, and in 1791 was bound an apprentice on board the ship Britannia. Neil made three voyages to New York, and became a favourite with captain and owners. In 1793 war broke out with France, and the ship was laid up at Greenock. Captain WUliam Mathie, a son of one of Neil's employers, purchased a little ship called the Clarence Yacht. He fitted her up with ten guns, and procured a, letter of marque authorising him to make reprisals on the high seas. Neil was offered a transference to this vessel, which he readily accepted. He sailed for nearly a year between Shetland and the Mediter- ranean, finding himself still in Captain Mathie's ship at Greenock in June 1794, on the 14th day of which month news reached the seaport of Lord Howe's great victory over the French fleet. All armed vessels in port were instructed to fire a salute. Captain 114 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. Mathie was very loyal, and entered heartily into the rejoicings. He, his mate, and three apprentices, the eldest of whom was Neil, were all that were on board. Neil was ready with match in hand to fire one of the guns, when the captain hailed an old man-of- war's-man, who was looking on, and asked him to jump on board and lend them a hand. He did so ; and, taking the match from Neil, fired the gun. Neil, ready for duty, sprang on the gun- earriage, and proceeded to sponge the gnn ; but a stupid fellow neglected to stop the touch - hole at the same moment, the result being that a spark was left within the gun. Never thinking of danger, Neil proceeded to reload the gun with a cartridge con- sisting of three pounds of gunpowder, and was just in the act of ramming home, when it went off, carrying away his right hand, and the outer portion of his arm up to the elbow, tearing the flesh off his right cheek, and completely depriving him of his eyesight. He fell into the water, but was immediately picked up and con- veyed to his mother's house at Cartsdyke, where the two doctors who attended him found it necessary to amputate his right arm above the elbow. At first some slight hopes were entertained of a partial recovery of his left eye, but these were speedily blasted by the opinion of an eminent oculist, who came purposely to examine him. This was a sad calamity to a person of Neil's active tempera- ment, but the kindness of a wide circle of friends, who read and conversed with him, soon reconciled him to his fate. In 1798 he was urged by friends to attend a singing-class taught by Mr Robert Duncan, precentor of the East Parish Church, Greenock. He objected, thinking people would laugh at one of his age joining a singing-class ; but a friend offering to accompany him, he con- sented. So rapid was his progress in the study of music under Mr Duncan, that in the autumn of 1799 his friends urged him to open a singing-class, which he held annually till 1844, when he was compelled by infirmity, and especially the failure of his voice, to give up teaching altogether. In 1800 he gave his first public concert, and continued to give a concert annually until the year 1860. As early as 1810 he contributed the tune "Naples" to R. A. Smith's ' Devotional Music' His compositions consist of about one hundred psalm and hymn tunes, an anthem from the 136th Psalm, and about a dozen songs and other pieces. He published a small volume of poems in 1854. Dougall died at Greenock, October 1, 1862. His tune Kilmarnock, No. 98 in P. and P., 87 S.P., and 96 U.P.P., was composed DKESE. 115 about 1823, and was widely circulated in MS. before it received a place in Brown's Bobertson's ' Selection of the Best Psalm and Hymn Tunes,' pub- lished about 1834. Its origin may be briefly told. Dougall's attention having been drawn to the peculiarity of the tune " Morven " (built on what is commonly termed the Caledonian scale — viz., without the fourth or seventh in the melody), resolved to compose one on the same principle, " Kilmarnock " being the result. It shared the fate of his other tunes — a place among his scraps. " One day R. A. Smith and John Taylor, who was then precentor in the Middle Parish Church at Greenock, paid him a visit. After conversation. Smith said, ' Anything new doing, Mr Dougall 1 no scraps to divert us 1 ' Mr Dougall went to a drawer and brought the first few scraps of paper he could lay his hand on. Smith took up one, and hastily humming it over, said — ' A veri/ pretty melody ; and what do you call it ? ' ' It's not christened yet,' was the answer ; ' but do you observe anything peculiar about it ? ' 'I do,' said Smith ; ' it is on the Caledonian scale, the same as " Morven." ' 'Yes ; the same as your tune.' ' No, no ; not my tune,' said Smith. ' Will you oblige me with a copy of your nameless tune ? ' ' With pleasure,' said the composer, ' and we'll christen't " Kilmarnock " ' ; and thus ended the conference." Drese, Adam, born in Thuringia, December 1620 ; studied music at Warsaw under Marco Scacchi ; music director at Weimar from 1655 ; afterwards held similar appointments to the Duke of Brunswick, and at Arnstadt, where he died, February 15, 1701. His tune Daemstadt, No. 301 F.C.H., 236 S.H. (there named "Haarlem"), 217 U.P.H. (there named " Zinzendorf "), was composed for use in his family devotions, and was sung in his house as early as 1690. It first appears in print in the Halle ' Gesangbuch,' 1697 ; and it subsequently occurs in the Darmstadt ' Gesangbuch,' 1698, and in Preylinghausen's ' Gesangbuch,' 1704. It is associated with the hymn, " Seelenbrautigam, Jesu Gotteslamm." The following occurs in the notice of Drese's death in the Arnstadt Church Records, and proves that the dates of Drese's birth and death are incorrectly given in the S.H. : " On the 15th February 1701, at 10 o'clock in the evening, Herr Adam Drese fell asleep in God. . . . Age, 80 years 2 months." [Den 15 Febr. 1701, Abends um zehn Uhr ist in Gott selig entschlafen Herr Adam Drese, . . . Alter 80 Jahre 2 Monate.] 116 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.

A Collection of Hymns and Sacred Poems. — Dublin : Printed by S. Powell, in Crane Lane, 1749. At the end, among " Tunes adapted in the foregoing Hymns," is IBISH, No. 96 P. and P., 131 U.P.P., 84 S.P., in the key of G, noted in minims, and without name. It has invariably been assigned to Isaac Smith, because it appears in his collection issued about 1770, but it is not marked with the asterisk prefixed by him to the tunes of his own composition. In the U.P.P. it is assigned to Benjamin Milgrove, on what authority it is difS- cult to know. The tune is named " Irish " by Ashworth in his collection published about 1765. It is named "Irish" in Eobert Gilmour's 'Psalm Singer's Assistant,' Glasgow, no date ; and in the second edition. Paisley, 1793 ; also in Henry Boyd's Collection, Glasgow, 1793. This seems to be its first appearance in a Scotch Psalmody. Dupuis, Thomas Sanders, born in London, November 5, 1730, son of John Dupuis, of a Huguenot refugee family settled in London ; chorister in the Chapel Eoyal ; organist and composer to the Chapel Eoyal, 1779 ; graduated Mus. Bac. and Mus. Doc, Oxford, 1790 ; died in London, July 17, 1796. Chant, No. 78 in U.P.P., also 235 S.P. ; Chant, No. 355 S.H. (A minor), 353 S.H., Chant 1., are from 'Sixteen Double and Single Chants, as per- formed at the Chapel Eoyal, &c.,' published before 1790. Chant, No. 254 S.P., is from 'A Second Set of Chants Composed for the Use of his Majesty's Chapel.' Chant, No. 333 F.C.H., is probably adapted from some of his works. Dykes, Kev. John Bacchus, born at Kingston-upon-HuU, March 10, 1823 ; received his first musical tuition from Skelton, organist of St John's, where his grandfather was incumbent ; obtained a scholarship at St Catherine's Hall, Cambridge, and during his stay there pursued his musical studies under Professor Walmisley, and became conductor of the University Musical Society ; graduated as B.A. in 1847, and having taken holy orders DYKES. 117 in the same year, obtained the curacy of Malton, Yorkshire ; in 1849 appointed minor canon and precentor of Durham Cathedral ; in 1850 proceeded to the degree of M.A., and in 1861 had conferred on him by the University of Durham the degree of Doctor of Music ; in 1862 was presented by the Dean and Chapter to the vicarage of St Oswald, Durham, on which he resigned the pre- centorship ; died at St Leonards-on-Sea, January 22, 1876. It is admitted on all hands that as a writer of hymn tunes Dr Dykes stands unequalled. He was an able organist, and it was not un- common for him during the illness of his organist to take that gentleman's place at the organ, read the lessons, &c., and preach the sermon.

EBDON — ELYEY. 119 Ebdon, Thomas, son of Thomas Ebdon, cordwainer ■ (shoe- maker) ; born at Durham, 1738 ; baptised July 30, St Oswald's Parish. It is thought that he received his early musical education as a chorister at Durham Cathedral, as the name and date, "T. Ebdon, 1755," is still (1891) to be seen carved on the north side of the oak screen which divides the choir from one of the aisles. In 1763 he succeeded James Heseltine as organist and choirmaster of Durham Cathedral, an office he held tiU his death, September 23, 1811. Buried in St Oswald's churchyard. S.S., No. 14 F.C.H.

Este's Psalter contains fifty-seven distinct tunes, exclusive of those of the ' Spiritual Songs and Hymns.' This was the first Psalter in which the tunes are named — " Cheshire Tune," " Kentish Tune," and " Glassenburie Tune," being thus distinguished — WnfCHESTEE, No. 23 and 203 S.H., 165 P. and P., 178 S.P., 178 U.P.P., 291 and Dox. 2 U.P.H.

It was composed for a portion — but a different portion — of Dr Neale's trans- lation of the Latin hymn of which the words to which it has generally been sung form a part, the portion beginning " For thee, dear dear country." The tune seems to hare been first published in common time in 'Hymns Ancient and Modem,' 1861, and this was done without reference to the com- poser, who was then in a distant quarter of the globe, but in other respects no alterations were made on the tune. " In my opinion," says the composer, " the alteration of the rhythm has very much vulgarised my little tune. It now seems to me a good deal like a polka. I hate to hear it." The tune was often erroneously assigned to the late Bishop Swing of Argyll (a relation of Lieut. -Colonel Ewing), until Mr Carnie, of Aberdeen, pointed out the real composer. Parrant, Bichard, a composer of sacred music, was born about 1530. He was one of the Gentlemen of the Chapel Royal, but resigned on becoming Master of the Children of St George's Chapel, Windsor, of which he is said to have been also a lay vicar and organist. On November 5, 1569, he was reappointed a Gentleman of the Chapel Eoyal, and remained such until his death, November 30, 1580.

No. 87 U.P.H., "Lord, for Thy tender mercies' sake," usually assigned to Farrant, but attributed by earlier writers to John Hilton, organist of St Margaret's Chxirch, Westminster, who died about the middle of the seventeenth century. It is printed with the name of Farrant as its composer in Page's ' Harmonia Sacra,' 1800. Chant, No. 224 in S.P., and 77 U.P.P., is taken from the same anthem. Feilden, Eev.

Blackburn, No. 10 U.P.P., is generally considered in Lancashire to be his composition. It appears in Harrison's ' Sacred Harmony,' vol. i. (1784), and is anonymous.

Thomas Moore published the first-named in his ' Psalm Singer's Pocket Companion,' Glasgow, 1766. It is there named "Wakefield." Genevan Psalter. The skeleton of the history of the French Genevan Psalter is this : — The Words. — Clement Marot made at different times versions of several psalms, to the number of thirty, which were collected into a volume in 1542. Before this, however, they had circulated largely in MS., and were published with an incorrect text in a psalter printed at Antwerp in 1541. GENEVAN IpSALTEE. 131 Two years before tHs, in 1539, when Calvin was at Strasburg, he compiled a small collection of psalms with tunes, and there are found 12 9f Marot's versions which Calvin had got somewhere, but with the spurious text. This Strasburg book was the basis of the true Genevan Psalter, which Calvin prepared on his return to Geneva in 1542. In this the whole thirty psalms of Marot are included. It should be borne in mind that up to this time Calvin and Marot had no personal intercourse or acquaintance whatever with each other. Bat when Marot fled from Paris and arrived at Geneva soon after Calvin, the latter got him to continue the trans- lations. Marot then wrote 19 more, which, with the Song of Simeon, make up what is known as the " Fifty Psalms of Marot." Marot left Geneva a year afterwards, and died in 1544. So the Genevan Psalter stood till 1551, when Calvin asked his friend Beza, who had then settled at Geneva, to continue the work. Beza then added thirty-four new versions, making eighty-three in all. About 1554 he added six more ; another about 1555 ; and the remaining sixty in 1562. The Tunes. — The tunes of the Strasburg book of 15.39 were mostly German, either borrowed from local sources, or some perhaps written for the occasion. Those in the Genevan book of 1542 were taken partly from the Strasburg book and partly new. Then came the edition of 1543 with Marot's new psalms, and of course new tunes. To Beza's new psalms of 1551 and the complete edition of 1562 new tunes were also added. It should be remembered that from 1542 to 1562 alterations were made in each edition, either by modification of the existing tune, or by substitution of a new one. After 1562 no change was ever made. It will thus be seen that the Genevan Psalter was a growth of twenty years, and that the 150 psalms in it are of different dates — viz., 30 1542. I 34 1551. 1 1555. 19 1543. I 6 1554. 60 1562. The tunes as they appear in the final edition of 1562 are likewise of various dates, but not necessarily those of the psalms to which they belong. For instance, one psalm of 1542 might retain its original tune to the end. Another psalm of same date might have been set to three or four tunes in succession, till set finally in 1562. In other cases the final form of a tune was not quite the same as its first. Composers of the Tunes. — In those days "composing" meant 132 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. " compounding." A composer troubled himself little about origi- nality. If his purpose was answered by piecing stock musical phrases together in a new arrangement, he did so ; and very many of the older tunes were so constructed. The tune we call " Old Hundredth " is highly effective, but perhaps the least original in the whole Genevan Psalter. To assign way tune in the Genevan book (1542-1562) to Guillaume Franc is utterly wrong. Franc was engaged as master of the children in St Peter's Church at Geneva in 1542, but there is not a trace of evidence that he had anything to do with the editing of the Psalter. He left Geneva soon afterwards, and settled at Lausanne, where he did edit a psalter which was indeed printed at Geneva, biit was confounded with the Genevan book by writers who did not know the facts. The Genevan Psalter contained melodies only. After it was completed in 1562, Goudimel harmonised the tunes for private use (as singing in parts was never permitted in the " Eeformed Church " till the present century). Goudimel had nothing to do with the compiling or musical editing of that work, and in fact was not even a Protestant till about 1555. On the other hand, there is positive evidence in existence that the editor from 1545 to 1557 was Louis Bourgeois ; and there is every reason to believe he edited the book from the beginning in 1542. The number of distinct tunes in the Psalter of 1562 is 125 (two of which are those to the Decalogue and Song of Simeon), so that 27 psalms are sung to tunes of other psalms. The following tunes are from the Genevan Psalters, the dates of their first appearance and the psalms to which they are set being given : — Calvin, No. 47 U.P.H. and 222 U.P.P., is the same as Commandments.

It was known as "The Hundredth," until the old version of the Psalms was superseded by that of Tate and Brady. The name " Hundredth " is peculiar to England, as in the Genevan Psalter the tune was adapted to Psalm 134. It was sometimes named " Savoy " from its use by a Huguenot congregation established in the Savoy, London, in the reign of Elizabeth. The 134 BIOGKAPHICAL SKETCHES. ordinary version of the tune, as in the S.H., U.P.H., and F.C.H., is found as early as 1592. Old 124th has- for centuries been a popular tune in Scotland, and has remained fixed to the psalm to which it was first set. The following, by Calderwood the historian, relates how it was sung in 1582 on the return of John Durie after a temporary banishment : " John Durie cometh to Leith at night, the 3d September. Upon Tuesday the 4th of September, as he is coming to Edinburgh, there met him at the Gallowgreen 200, but ere he came to the Netherbow their number increased to 400 ; but they were no sooner entered but they increased to 600 or 700, and within short space the whole street was replenished even to Saint Geiles Kirk : the number was esteemed to 2000. At the Netherbow they took up the 124 Psalme, ' Now Israel may say,' &c., and sung in such a pleasant tune in four parts, known to the most part of the people, that coming up the street all bareheaded till they entered in the Kirk, with such a great sound and majestic, that it moved both themselves and all the huge multitude of the beholders, looking out at the shots and over stairs, with admiration and astonishment ; the Duke of Lennox himself beheld, and reave his beard for anger ; he was more affrayed of this sight than anie thing that ever he had scene before in Scotland. When they came to the Kirk, Mr James Lowsone made a short exhortation in the Reader's place, to move the multitude to thankfulness. Thereafter a psalm being sung, they departed with great joy."

Krkuzuach, No. 335 S.H. This was originally a secular melody set to the harvest song, "Entlaubt ist uns der Wald," and according to Prsetorius Is in Georg Forster's ' Auszug guter alter und neuer teutscher Liedlein,' Part I., No. 61 (1539). In the 'Bohemian Brethren's Hymn Book,' 1544, it is set to the hymn, " Lob Gott getrost mit Singen"; and in Luther's 'Geistliche Lieder,' 1545, it is set to Kolross's hymn, " Ich dank Dir lieber Herre." LuTZEN, No. 15 and 35 U.P.H. Margabbtha, No. 376 S.H., is marked "German" in Westlake's 'Hymns and Sacred Songs for the Year ' (1863).

The tune from which " Moravia" is adapted is found in many forms, set to the hymn "Aus meines Herzens Grunde," by Johannes Mathesius, minister of Joachimthal. The melody as a matter of course was ascribed to his precentor, Nicolaus Hermann, but, it is not found in his works. Though it is commonly held that its earliest source is the ' Hymn Book of Bartho- lomaus Gesius,' 1601, Di Faisst has found it as early as 1598 in the Eisleben Hymn Book, and in Welder's ' Katechismus-Gesangbiichlein,' Hamburg, 1595, with some variation. In the S.P. and S.H. it is referred to the ' Greifs- wald Hymn Book ' of 1592. A copy of this work is in the Greifswald Uni- versity Library, and another, dated 1593, in the Library of St Nicholas Church there ; both contain the hymn, "Aus meines," &c., but no tune is set in either work to that hymn. These books were specially examined for the writer. NURNBEEG, Doxology No. 11 U.P.H. This tune is not in the ' Niimberg Gesangbuch,' as stated in the U.P.H. In an edition published in 1690 the hymn " Alles ist an Gottes Segen," with which this tune is associated, ap- pears, but directions are given to sing it to the tune " Jesu, heil den alten Schaden," which is totally different from Niimberg. The readings of this melody vary considerably. The nearest _approach to the form given in the U.P.H. the vfriter has seen is in J. S. Bach's ' Vierstimmige Choralgesange,' vol. ii., 1769, where the melody stands No. 132 and in the following form : — AiXBS IST AN Gottes Segen. 136 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.

According to Winterfield, Luther in 1526 introduced the ■' Agnus Dei " in German, and as no other setting is known, this tune must have been in use at that date.

Old Saxony, No. 230 U.P.P., 68 U.P.H., 24 F.C.H., 17 S.P., is adapted from a chorale of the sixteenth century, " Christ, der du bist der helle Tag," and is found in many different forms. Pentecost, No. 106 U.P.H., 120 F.C.H. See "Germania," which is the same tune. Saxony, No. 81 and 254 S.H., 37 P. and P. See " Old Saxony," which is the same tune. Springtime, No. 375 F.C.H. This is the famous German drinking-song " Crambambuli," which became popular in this country by association with W. M. Hatching's hymn, " When mothers of Salem their children brought to Jesus." Stobbl, No. 107 S.H., 135 U.P.H. Mr Havergal, in his 'Old Church Psalmody,' refers this to John Daniel MuUer's ' Choralbuch,' 1754, but that work contains no such tune. Nor is it to be found in Johann Michael MUller's ' Choralbiicher,' published at Frankfort-on-Maine between 1735 and 1741. Strasburg, No. 53 U.P.H. See " Melanchthon," which is the same tune. Trust, No. 250 F.C.H. This tune was taken from a German collection, and inserted by Mr Parlane of Paisley in the 'Sabbath-School Union Hymnal' (1877). G-erum, August, son of M.

Abbey Close, No. 25 U.P.P., " Ach Gott, wem soil ichs klagen," appears in an important Collection issued by Gesius in 1605. Lucca, No. 249 S.H., appears in the same Collection set to the words "Man spricht; wen Gott erfreut." It is adapted from a secular song, " Venus du und dein Kind, seid alle beide Mind," which occurs in Regnart's ' Schonen ki^zweiligen deutschen Liedem, Numberg,' 1574. Vulpius, in his Collection of 1609, sets it to the hymn with which it is now associated, " Auf meinen lieben Gott." Giardini, Felice de, an eminent violinist, was born at Turin, April 12, 1716 ; chorister at Milan Cathedral when a boy ; pupil of Paladini in singing, composition, and the harpsichord ; after- wards returned to Turin and studied the violin under Somis. In 1750 he made his first appearance in London as a violinist, creating a perfect furore ; left England in 1784 to spend the rest of his life in Italy, but returned in 1790, when he started a comic opera at the Haymarket, which proved a failure ; afterwards went to Russia, and died at Moscow, December 17, 1796. Moscow, No. 315 F.C.H and 107 S.H.

The last two notes of the melody of the sixth line, and the first three of the last line, as given in the ahove hymnals, are a third too low.

Doc, Ox- ford, 1664 ; died, October 20, 1676. Chant, No. 115 in U.P.P., appears in Vandernan's Collection, 1770, with a different cadence. The present reading is found in Harrison's ' Sacred Har- mony,' vol. il. (1791), where it is wrongly assigned to Orlando Gibbons. Gibbons, Orlando, Mus. Doc, bom at Cambridge in 1583.1 As an organist he was one of the finest of his time, and indeed one of the greatest musical geniuses of our country. At the age of twenty-one he was appointed organist of the Chapel Royal, and in 1622 admitted a Doctor of Music at the University of Oxford. In 1623 Dr Gibbons was appointed organist of Westminster Abbey, and two years later was summoned to Canterbury to attend the marriage of Charles I., for which he had composed an ode and some instrumental music, and whilst there, died after a short ill- ness, June 5, 1625, and was buried the following day in the Cathe- dral at Canterbiiry. In 1623 he composed Tunes in two parts — Treble and Bass — for George Withers' ' Hymns and Songs of the Church.' From that Collection are taken Angels' Song, No. 16 F.C.H., 1 S.P., 130 S.H., 1 P. and P., 140 U.P.H., 1 The writer has failed to verify this date, although he has caused the Bap- tismal Records of the parishes then in existence to be searched. GIBSON. 139 and 162 0.P.P. (named in tlie U.P. Collections "Angels' Hymn "), wliioh was set by Gibbons in three different forms, and so named from the words of one of the hymns to which it is set. The form in the P.C.H. and S.P. is almost identical with the air given below, wliich is set to Song XXXIV. : — The Melody op Song xjtxrv. in Withers' ' Hymnes and Songs OP THE Church,' 1623.

The altered version, in 3 time, given in the Church of Scotland and U.P. Collections, has been in use since the beginning of last century. Its earliest appearance in this form in a Scotch Collection the writer has seen, is in Thomas Moore's 'Delightful Pocket Companion,' Glasgow (1762), where it is arranged for Treble and Bass. Deptfoed, No. 286 P.C.H., is set to Song XXII. Gibbons, No. 163 F.C.H., 159 U.P.H., 161 S.H., is set to Song XIII. St Matthias, No. 137 P. & P., 145 S.P., 211 U.P.H., 105 U.P.P., is set to Song LXVII., which is for St Matthias' Day. S.S., No. 14 F.C.H. (Sanctus II.) is his composition. Dr Boyce's 'Cathe- dral Music,' vol. iii., 1773, contains the earliest printed copy the writer has seen of it. Gibson, Mrs Patrick — n^e Isabella Mary Scott ; daughter of William Scott, teacher of elocution ; born at Edinburgh about 1786 ; in June 1818, married to Patrick Gibson, E.S.A., and writer on art ; kept a boarding-school for young ladies in Inverleith Row, Edinburgh, and in 1828 opened a similar establishment in Dollar ; a distinguished vocalist and harp player ; occupied a high position in the musical and literary world, and was the associate of Lord Brougham, Sir Walter Scott (to whom she was distantly related), and other celebrities of her time ; contributed a song to K.

Smith's ' Scottish Minstrel,' " Lochnagar," words by Byron (Away, ye gay landscapes), which is still popular, also two original psalm tunes to vol. vi. of James Steven's ' Church Music,' edited by John Turnbull, Glasgow, 1833 ; died at Edinburgh, November 28, 1838. COMPOET, No. 93 U.P.P., Is one of four tunes contributed by Mrs Gibson to ' Sacred Harmony,' Part I., for the use of St George's Church, Edinburgh, 1820, a collection edited by Dr Andrew Thomson. It is slightly different from the original form. Gilbert, Walter Bond, son of Samuel Thomas Gilbert ; bom at Exeter, Devonshire, April 21, 1829 ; pupil of Alfred Angel, Dr S. S. Wesley, and Sir Henry R. Bishop ; appointed organist of Topsham Parish Church, Devonshire, 1847 ; Bideford, 1849 ; of Tunbridge, 1854 ; Maidstone, 1859 ; Lee, Kent, 1866 ; Boston, Lincolnshire, 1868 ; since 1869, organist of Trinity Chapel, New York ; graduated Mus. Bac, Oxford, 1854 ; degree of Mus. Doc. conferred on him by the University of Trinity College, Toronto, Canada, 1886, and by Oxford University, 1888 ; Fellow of the College of Organists, 1864 ; composer of an oratorio, " St John," and much excellent church music. Author of ' Memorials of All Saints Church, Maidstone,' 1864; 'Antiquities of Maidstone,' 1865. His tunes Maidstone, No. 128 S.H., 349 U.P.H., 193 F.C.H. ; and Thanksqiving, No. 441 S.H., and 54 U.P.H., were first published in the 'Parish Tune Book,' compiled by Mr G. F. Chambers, 1862. Gilmour, Kobert, music-teacher at Paisley about the close of last century, and of whom no further information can be had, although it has been diligently sought for, edited 'The Psalm Singer's Assistant ; Being a Collection of the most approved Psalm and Hymn Tunes. Mostly in Four Parts. Selected from the best Authors, and adapted to the different metres of the Psalms of David, and the Assembly's Translations ; with a compendious Introduction, for the use of Learners, and a Collection of Hymns suited to the Tunes.' Glasgow, no date. Second edition, with Improvements, Paisley, 1793. MoNTKOSE, No. 191 and 221 U.P.P., is in both editions, where it bears its present name, and is the earliest copy the writer has seen. It was commonly known as the "Burghers' Eant." The supposition that the melody of "Montrose" was originally the bass of a tune named "Dunkeld" is erroneous. Mr Camie of Aberdeen informed the writer that exactly the opposite Is the case, and that the composing of "Dunkeld" by using GIOENOVICH J — GLUCK. 141 " Montrose " melody as a bass was the freak of a Glasgow musical amateur. Neither is there any truth in the statement that "Montrose" is the bass of the tune set to the 84th Psalm in the ' Scottish Psalter,' In James Thomson's ' Collection of the Best Church Tunes,' third edition, Edinburgh, 1793, it is named " Montrose or Mather," and in several collections of later date it bears the latter name. Q-iornovichj, Q-iovanni Marie, an eminent violinist ; born at Palermo in 1745 ; pupil of LoUi ; made his ddbut in Paris in 1770, and for some years was all the rage in that city ; visited Austria, Poland, Russia, and Sweden, and in 1791 arrived in London, where he gave his first concert in May of that year ; died at St Petersburg, it is said during a game at billiards, in 1804. His insolence and conceit (says Sir George Grove) seem to have been unbounded, and to have brought him into disastrous collision with Viotti, a far greater artist than himself, and with J. B. Cramer — who went the length of calling him out, a challenge which Giornovichj would not accept— and even led him to some gross misconduct in the presence of the King and the Duke of York. He visited Scot- land in 1797. St Asaph, No. 250 S.H., 176 P. & P., 157 U.P.P., 127 S.P., 73 P.C.H., is probably an adaptation from one of his instrumental pieces. Although many of these have been examined by the writer at the British Museum, he is unable definitely to state its source. E. A. Smith's Collection, 1825, contains the earliest copy the writer has seen of the tune, and it is there assigned to Giornovichj, and set to Paraphrase 66, with which it has always been associated. In the ' Sacred Harp ' by Lowell and T. B. Mason, Cincinnati, 1836, it is found in a slightly different form, and named "Fulton," no composer's name being given, Glaser, Carl Gotthielf, born at Weissenfels, May 4, 1784; studied under his father, and afterwards at the St Thomas School, Leipzig, under Johann Adam Hiller and August Eberhard Muller, who taught him the pianoforte, and Campagnoli, who taught him the violin. In 1801 he went to Leipzig University to study law, but gave up jurisprudence to become a music-teacher at Barmen. There he took up a music-shop, which he carried on till his death on April 16, 1829. Composer of motets, school songs, and instru- mental music. Denfield, No. 56 S.P., 362 F.C.H., and 357 S.H., is by him, and appears in many books of German school songs. It is found as a hymn tune in ' The Seraph ' by Dr Lowell Mason, June 1839.

An edition issued in 1715, commonly called the ' New Gotha Cantional,' was edited by Christian Friedrich Witt (in 1700 Court bandmaster at Friedenstein in Gotha, where he died in 1716), and contains 359 tunes for 762 hymns.

No. 81 U.P.H., "0 that thou hadst hearkened," is adapted from his anthem, " Come unto Me." S.S. No. 88 U.P.H., " Come unto Me," is from the opening and closing movements of "All ye who weep," both of which were published in 1869. S.S. No. 90 U.P.H., " Blessed is He who cometh," is from the Benedictus in his " Messe Solennelle," composed by Gounod after he had left Rome and returned to Paris, and when he thought of becoming a priest, about 1845-50. Some movements of the Mass were performed, under Hullah, at St Martin's Hall, London, January 15, 1851. The whole work was performed in its entirety at the Birmingham Festival, 1867. Grant, David, bom at Aberdeen, September 19, 1833 ; educated at a public school ; studied music under Herr Grane at Aberdeen ; for twenty-tive years carried on business as a tobacco merchant, retiring in 1878 ; since then resident in London ; amateur com- poser of several excellent church tunes, one of which, Raleigh, No. 20 in S.P., was composed in 1867, and published on single slips in 1868. ' ' Keeping " (says Mr William Carnie in a letter to the writer) " the composer's trade in view, and in honour of the introducer of the ' weed ' to this country, 1 gave the tune its present name."

In both of the above Collections ap- pears the tune Tottenham, No. 170 S.P. and 155 XJ.P.P., but there Is not the slightest reference as to who composed It. It is usually assigned to Greatorex, and though there seems no proof that he wrote it, it is likely he did so. Beverley, No. 7 and 269 (Second Tune) S.H., appears in its present form in 'Parochial Psalmody,' where it is named "Hundred and Forty-Eight." There is no evidence to favour the assumption that it was composed by the Bev, John Darwall. It is found thus in Arnold and Callcott's Psalms, 1791 : — "Proper 136th" m Arnold and Callcott's Psalms, 1791, p. 159.

This seems to fix the date of its introduction into Scotland. Effinhham, No. 61 S.P. and 56 F.C.H., is another form of the same chorale. There seem no good grounds for assigning this tune to Bartholomaiis Crasselius, as is done hy some editors. Hanby, Rev. Eenjamin Russell, American divine and amateur composer. Born, 1833 ; died, 1867. His tune Lowliness, No. 380 F.C.H., and 391 S.H., there named "Who is He?" appears in ' The Dove : A Collection of Music for Day and Sunday Schools,' which he edited in conjunction with G. F. Root, Chicago, 1866. The hymn to which it is set is also his. Handel, Georg Friedrieh, son of Georg Handel, surgeon, was bom at Halle, in Saxony, February 23, 1685 ; studied under Zachau, cathedral organist at Halle ; settled in London in 1712, where he died, April 13, 1759 ; buried in Westminster Abbey. The tunes bearing his name are mostly adaptations from his oratorios, by which he is universally known. Samson, No. 24 S.P. and 14 F.C.H., is adapted from the chorus, "Then round about the starry throne," in the oratorio of that name, composed in 1742. Solomon, No. 160 S.P. and 150 P. and P., is from the solo, " What though I trace," in the oratorio of that name, composed in 1748. The first strain is identical with a tune by Tallis in Archbishop Parker's ' Psalter.' (See TaUis.) Theodoea, No. 173 (Second Tune) S.H., is from the solo, "Angels ever bright and fair," in the oratorio of that name, composed in 1749, and per- formed in 1750. Saul, No. 237 U.P.H., is from the "Dead March," in the oratorio of that name, composed in 1738. Mamre, No. 244 S.H., is from the solo, "Shall I on Mamre's fertile plains," in the oratorio of "Joshua," composed in 1747. HANDEL. 151 David, No. 338 P.C.H., is adapted from the aria, "Eendi'l sereno al ciglio," in his opera " Sosarme," performed in 1732. Saxony, No. 186 S.P., appears as a psalm tune in 'The Psalms of David, for the Use of Parish Churches,' edited by Drs Arnold and Calloott, 1791, and is adapted from the song, " Non vi piacque ingiusti Dei," in his opera "Srroe," performed in 1728. It is in 'Sacred Harmony,' hy the Rev. Dr Andrew Thomson, Edinburgh, 1820, and was for many years a favourite tune in Scottish churches. GOPSAL, No. 251 (Second Tune) S.H., 150 F.C.H. ; Cannons, No. 182 U.P.H. and 7 P. and P., are two of three tunes composed by Handel to hymns by the Bev. Charles Wesley, and discovered in the Fitzwilliam Library, Cambridge, by Samuel Wesley, who published them with the original words and the following account of their origin : — "The late comedian, Rich, was also proprietor of Covent Garden Theatre, during the period when Handel conducted his oratorios at that house. He married a person who became a serious character after having formerly been a very contrary one, and who requested Handel to set to music the three hymns which I transcribed in the Fitzwilliam Library, from the autography, and published them in consequence." "Gopsal" was composed for a hymn on the Resurrection, "Rejoice, the Lord is King," and "Cannons" for "Sinners, obey the Gospel word." The rhythm of the tune " Chandos " or " Cannons," as given in the U.P.H. and P. and P., is considerably different from the original, a copy of which is here given : — Melody of Tune "Cannons" as composed by Handel.

" It has been omitted in the new S.H., and a not very suitable one set in its stead. Goss, No. 241 S.H. (Second Tune), is an adaptation by Sir John Goss from the duet, "Cease thy anguish," in the oratorio "Athalia," composed by Handel in 1733. A peculiar metre tune adapted from the same source appears in the ' Sacred Harp,' Glasgow (1840). 152 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. Chant, No. 238 S.P. and 171 U.P.P., is an adaptation from the duet, "Joys in gentle trains appearing," also in "AthaJia." The same Chant is set to S.S., No. 119 U.P.H., " Comfort ye, comfort ye, my people." Harington, Henry, M.D., son of Henry Harington and Mary Backwell ; bom at Kelston,^ Somersetshire, September 29,^ 1727 ; entered Queen's College, Oxford, December 16, 1745, and matricu- lated at the University on the following day ; graduated B.A. July 8, 1749 (not 1748, as stated by some), and proceeded M.A. June 4, 1752 ; Bachelor and Doctor of Medicine, July 2, 1762 ; established himself as a physician at Wells in 1753 ; settled at Bath in 1771 ; and was elected mayor in 1793 ; founded the Harmonic Society there ; devoted his leisure time to the composition of glees, catches, songs, &c. ; died January 15, 1816 ; buried at Kelston, January 23 (not in Bath Abbey, as commonly stated). Two sons by his wife, Miss Musgrave, were Sir Edward Harington and Henry Haring- ton, D.D. Harington, No. 244 U.P.H., 109 U.P.P., 87 P. and P., 76 S.P., was published ahout 1780, under the title of " Retirement," for three voices, in the following form, and to the words given helow : — "Retirement." i His birth at Kelston is an accepted tradition, which cannot be verified by the baptismal records of that parish, as they contain no entry of the event. As his parents inherited the estate of Kelston in the year 1726, it is very probable that he was born there. 2 The 20th is usually given, but the above date is from his monument in Bath Abbey. The writer has to acknowledge the Mndness of the Rev. F, R. Poynton, Vicar of Kelston, who examined not only the records of his own parish, but also those of the parishes of Bath, in search of the entry of Dr Harington's birth.

It appears as a hymn tune in the third set of Magdalen Hymns published before 1787. John Wilson's 'A Selection of Psalm Tunes, Sanctuses, Doxologies, &c., for the Use of St Mary's Church, Edinburgh,' 1825, exhibits probably its first appearance in a Scottish collection. Harrison, John,i bom at Canterbury ; pupil of Goodban of that city, and " Russian " Field ; settled in Deal in 1835 ; for eighteen years organist of St Andrew's Church, Deal ; represented the South Ward of Deal in the Town Council for nearly five years ; seized with a fatal illness while accompanying a soloist at a concert in aid of St Andrew's Infant School, Deal, and died February 21, 1871, aged sixty-three.

His 'Melodies Proper to be Sung to any of ye Ver- sions of ye Psalms of David,' were published about the year 1713. From that collection is taken LiCHPiBLD, No. 105 in P. and P., where it is named "St Michael's Melody." Hassler, Hans Iieo, son of Isaac Hassler, a musician ; born at Niimberg, 1564 ; in 1584 pupil of Andrea Gabrieli, then organist of the Cathedral of St Mark, Venice ; in 1585 became organist to Count Fugger in Augsburg, and from 1602, in Prague, to the Em- peror Eudolph II. ; died at Frankfort-on-the-Maine, June 8, 1612. Stuttgart, No. 214 F.C.H., 44 U.P.H., was originally composed in 1601, to the words of a secular song, " Mein Gr'miith ist mir verwirret," for which 1 Not 1790, as in the S.H. 156 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. the hymn "Herzlich thut mich verlangen" was afterwards substituted. Bach inserted it in his 'Grosse Passions Musik,' and adapted it to the hymn, "0 Haupt vol! Blut und Wunden." Bach's Passion Choealb, No. 50 S.H., is the same tune. Hastings, Thomas, Mus. Doc, born in Lichfield, Connecticut, October 15, 1784 ; from 1824 to 1832 conducted a religious journal in Utica ; for nearly forty years resident in New York, where he was invited by a number of the Churches to improve their psalmody, a subject he had given much attention to from his earliest years ; composer of many hymns and tunes which were published in the Collections he issued ; degree of Mus. Doc. conferred on him by the New York University, May 1858 ; died May 15, 1872. His tune Retreat, No. 21 S.P., 30 F.C.H., 241 U.P.H., was composed in 1840, and first appeared in ' Sacred Songs,' which he edited in 1842. Oeton, No. 299 (Second Tune) F.C.H., appears in 'The Manhattan Collection,' first edition, 1837, and is there named " Ortonville." Invitation, No. 158 (First Tune) S.H., and the hymn to which it is set, were written in 1831, and published in ' Spiritual Songs for Social Worship,' 1832. The tune is there named " Return." Hastings, No. 412 S. H. , and the hymn to which it is set, were written in 1836. They appear in ' The Manhattan Collection,' 1837. The tune is there assigned to a composer — K.L.-P.F. — a nom-de-plume adopted by Dr Hastings, which has prevented him in some instances from getting the credit of the tune. " I had found (he said) that a foreigner's'name went a great way, and that very ordinary tunes would be sung if Palestrina or Pucitta, &c., were over them, while a better tune by Hastings would go unnoticed." S.S. No. 52 U.P.H., " Let the people praise Thee," was composed in 1836, and first published in ' The Manhattan Collection of Psalm and Hymn Tunes and Anthems,' 1837. S.S. No. 50 U.P.H., "0 Thou that hearest prayer," was composed in 1854, and published in ' The Selah,' 1856.

He led the singing at the first General Assembly of the Free Church at Tanfield, and in D. 0. Hill's pic- ture of that Assembly, Hately's portrait holds a prominent place. Afterwards appointed precentor to Free Church Assembly ; ac- cepted in 1850 the precentorship of the Free High Church, Edin- burgh, then under the pastorate of the Eev. Dr Gordon. About the same time he devoted himself almost entirely to the teaching of psalmody and conducting classes throughout the country, and not only in this way, but also by the training of teachers, he gave the first great impulse in recent times to the cultivation of church music in Scotland ; edited the ' National Psalmody,' and other works ; died at Edinburgh, March 22, 1867. Glencairn, No. 71 S.P., was composed in 1850 for Psalm 42, that being a favourite Psalm of Dr Gordon's, whose birthplace was Glencairn. Leuchars, No. 210 S.P., 45 U.P.P., 208 P. and P., was composed in 1855 for Psalm 143, second version.

In the original there is no A (n) in the last measure of the third line. The correct form is given in the U.P. Collections. This tune found a place in the Scottish Psalmodies at an early period of its existence, as it appears in Henry Boyd's Collection, published at Glasgow in 1793, under the name of ' Addison's 19th Psalm.' This is the earliest copy the writer has seen. Havergal, Kev.

Its history is inter- esting, and may be told in a few words. In 1846 Mr Havergal composed music for Bums's Prayer, beginning " Thou dread pow'r, who reign'st above," lines which the poet left lying on a table in the room where he had slept when on a -visit to Dr Laurie's family at the Manse of Loudon. The music is purposely framed in the Scotch style, and was inscribed to Mrs Laurie of Monkton Manse, the profits from the sale of the song being given to the Monkton industrial schools. A copy of the melody is here given ; — O Thou dread Pow'r, Who reign'st a • bove 1 1 know Thou wilt me mor • tal stroke.

HAVEEGAL. 161 Dr Lowell Mason of New York having received a copy of this song, was much struck with its beauty. He arranged the 1st, 2d, 7th, and 8th strains as a psalm tune, altered the measxire to three-two time, and published it in the ' New Carmina Sacra,' copyrighted July 18, 1850. It is there named "Eva," and the letter H. only given as composer. In 'Cantica Laudis,' copyrighted August 10, 18S0, it is named " Evan," and the measure altered to that of the song. In ' The Shawm,' issued in 1853, Dr Mason gave Mr Havergal credit for the melody of this tune. In the United States it is generally used in three-two time, thus — Key Al,. /:S| I S| .d :n :r Id .1, :si Writing in March 1870, Mr Havergal says : "As the American arrangement was a sad estrangement, I have reconstructed the tune after a more correct form.

Anderson of Edinburgli, in which she gives her opinion as to the origin of the name " Evan " : — "In visiting Scotland last year, I for the first time saw the little stream Evan, and / have a fancy that Dr Lowell Mason took up the nomenclature from that, as he in the very year in which he first had this piece (' Thou dread Pow'r ') and sent it out to America as a hymn tune, had visited that part of Scotland — Moffat — where the stream is. I have written to ask the question of him, though when asked by my dear husband he could not re- member why he had given the name. My reminding him of this stream may recall it to his memory. " 164 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. No answer was received to Mrs Havergal's letter, as Dr Mason died a few weeks after. Mrs Hayergal's surmise, however, hardly coincides with the following facts : 1st, That Dr Mason originally named the time ' Eva' ; 2d, That it was first published hy him in 1850 ; 3d, That he did not visit Scot- land till 1852, and that in his journal no mention is made of having visited Moffat; 4th, That the existence of such an insignificant stream is hardly likely to have been known to Dr Mason. Chant, No. 266 S.P., composed about 1834, is known as "Worcester Chant." Chant in A, No. 119 U.P.P., composed about 1836. Both were published in 1836 in ' A Hundred Double Antiphonal Chants, with Remarks on Chants and Chanting.' Chant in A is set to S.S. No. 116 U.P.H., " Lord, Thou art my God." S.S. No. 70 U.P.H., " Lord, we cry unto Thee," is adapted from two Kyries composed by Mr Havergal in 1863. Mr Carnie of Aberdeen, who made the adaptation, set it to Psalm 141, and published it in the Anthem Appendix to his ' Northern Psalter.' St John, No. 215 P. and P., 204, 269, 392 S.H. For assigning this tune to Mr Havergal in the first edition of P. and P. the writer was responsible. Finding it ascribed to bim by several editors of important tune books, he communicated with Miss M. V. G. Havergal (now deceased), and was posi- tively informed that her father composed the tune about 1840 for a church missionary anniversary at Astley, Worcestershire. Her father's MS. music books not being accessible, she furnished the writer with a copy of the tune as it appears in his own Appendix to ' Old Church Psalmody,' and which she asserted was taken from his MS. tune book. It appears assigned to him in ' Songs of Grace and Glory,' 1879, a work prepared by the late Frances Rid- ley Havergal, and is now given in a few important Collections as his compo- sition. For the following reasons the writer questions Havergal's author- ship : — 1. The object of the ' Parish Choir ' (in which the tune seems to have been first published) was the revival of old music, and it is doubtful if the editor would knowingly have admitted music by a living composer. The editor was of the opinion that " St John " was an old tune, although he could not distinctly trace the authorship. 2. During the progress of 'Congregational Church Music' through the press, Mr Havergal (to whom the organ score was dedicated) gave much assistance in settling the authorship and sources of many of the tunes, but he made no claim to "St John." 3. After a careful examination of Mr Havergal's MS. volumes, the tune is not found there.

HAYDN. 165 1836 ; pupil of "Williain Marshall, Mus. Doc, and Alberto Ran- degger ; died at Caswell Bay, Swansea, June 3, 1879 ; well known by her hymns (many of which she set to music) and other writings. Her tunes EiBENE, No. 45 (Second Tune) S.H. ; Heemas, No. 365 P.C.H., 96 U.P.H., 393 S.H. ; and Saedis Chaih, No. 49 U.P.P., were composed in 1870, and published in ' Havergal's Psalmody,' which she edited in 1871. In the U.P.H. the refrain of " Hermas " is not given. It consists of the 1st, 2d, 7th, and 8th strains of the tune. Haydn, Franz Joseph, eldest son of Matthias Haydn, a wheelwright, was bom at Eohrau, a village in Lower Austria, March 31, 1732 ; universally known by his instrumental com- positions, and his oratorio " The Creation," finished in 1798 ; died at Gumpendorf, near Vienna, May 31, 1809. AusTBiAU Hymn, No. 234 F.C.H., 243 U.P.H. (there named " Austria "), 191 S.H. (there named "Haydn's Hymn"), was composed for Hauschka's National Hymn, January 1797, and was first publicly performed on the Emperor's birthday, February 12, following. Haydn afterwards introduced it in his quartet for stringed instruments (Op. 76, No. 3), where it is the slow movement with variations. It appears as a hymn tune in ' Sacred Music ' — intended as an Appendix to Dr Watts' ' Psalms and Hymns,' edited by Dt Miller (1800). An interesting incident in connection with this tune is related in the ' Athenaeum ' of June 18, 1842 :— Mendelssohn was paying his seventh visit to London in that year, staying at Denmark Hill, in the southern suburbs of the Metropolis. On a summer's Sunday evening he went to St Peter's Church, ComhlU. As he entered the church the congregation were singing Haydn's well-known tune. He was asked to play the out-going voluntary, and took as his theme the tune which had been sung, " The Emperor's Hymn," " and wrought it out for more than half an hour, exhausting every contrivance (so it seemed) of reply, rejoinder, harmonic change, and episodical embellishment." On the following Thursday, at Christ Church, Newgate Street, he was asked to take again the same theme. A grand &ntasia and fugue was the result, totally different from that on the previous Sunday, "save in its consummate variety and skill, as it had been the work of other organists' hands and feet," and — may we not add ? — brains. In the course of the movement Mendelssohn held down the top A on the swell, and treated it as an inverted pedal point of great length. His auditors thought that the long A was a cipher, and that the manual would become useless ; but after harmonising the note in a variety of different ways, he held it for some time alone, when the A qiiietly glided through G sharp to G natural, and then to F sharp. On coming down from the organ loft and re- joining his friends, he laughingly said, " You thought it was a cipher — I knmo you did." Would that Mendelssohn had written down even one of his mas- terly improvisations! — (P. G. Edwards in the 'Nonconformist Musical Journal,' November 1890.) 166 BIOGEAPHICAL SKETCHES.

It is said that Thomas Olivers having written the hymn "The God of Abraham praise," applied to one Leoni," a Jew, and celebrated as a vocalist in London, to furnish a tune, who gave him the one named above. Another account is, 1 Conductor of the Chorus. 2 Leoni was one of the instructors of John Braham, the eminent vocalist. He was dismissed from the Synagogue for taking part in a performance of the " Messiah." He is said to have died at Jamaica, October 1796. 168 BIOGEAPHICAL SKETCHES. that Olivers first heard the tune sung by Leoni in the Synagogue, and being greatly impressed by its effect, immediately wrote the hymn to suit it. The words and music were published together in 1772. It is very doubtful if it is of Hebrew origin, as it resembles a chorale by Cliristian Plor, organist at Luneburg about 1660. It seems to have been first published in a Scotch Psalmody in 1793, as it is found in Henry Boyd's Collection, issued in that year. A part of this tune is used by Sir Michael Costa in the overture to his oratorio of " Eli," produced at Birmingham Musical Festival, 1855. S.S., No. 1 U.P. and P.C. Hymnals, " The Lord bless thee and keep thee." The history of this may be told in a few words. A German organist believing he had discovered among the Hebrew points some that were guides to the music of the Psalms and poetical part of the Old Testament, published a ' Hebrew Psalter, with Notes.' Dr Lowell Mason got the book, and tried to adapt it to English words, finding, however, nothing he could use but the above. On its publication in 'Congregational Anthems,' a copy was for- warded to the late Eev. Dr N. M. Adler, Chief Rabbi, London, by Dr W. M. Cooke, asking if the Jews had music at all like it in use in their Syna- gogues. Dr Adler replied in the negative, adding, " We put no faith in the German organist's book." The harmonies are wholly by Dr Mason. Hegler, Rev.

HOLDEN. 171 Magdalen College, Oxford, from 1694 until 1705, when he was ap- pointed a clerk ; in the same year he was dismissed from his office and removed to London, where he studied under Jeremiah Clark ; in 1712 appointed organist of Gloucester Cathedral, and shortly afterwards married Alicia, daughter of Abraham Rudhall of Glou- cester, the famous beU-founder ; died August 28, 1730 ; buried in the eastern ambulatory of the cathedral. His compositions were published after his death vmder the title of ' Harmonia Sacra Glocestriensis.' Chant, No. 334 F.C.H., is assigned to him. Holden, Jolm, probably a native of England, seems to have settled in Glasgow about 1757, and carried on business as a potter. He was made a Burgess and Guild-brother of the city of Glasgow by purchase, July 8, 1757, and is described on the Burgess EoU as a merchant. Holden appears to have been an able scholar, and eminent as a musical theorist. He published in parts ' An Essay towards a Rational System of Music,' the whole being issued in 1770, inscribed to the Chancellor, Lord Eector, and Professors of Glasgow College, where Fetis asserts he was a Pro- fessor, but of this there is no record. It is known, however, that he took an interest in the music of the College chapel ; and on May 16, 1765, the chapel committee was empowered "to pay Mr Holden five pounds sterling a year as a present to him from the chappel fund for instructing the band ; " and on January 23, 1766, the same committee was instructed to purchase thirty copies of " Mr Holden's Music-book for the use of the chappel." This was doubtless his collection of tunes, the title of which is given below. On December 17, 1767, and on July 13, 1768, it was agreed to pay the "accounts of John Holden for writing the records of the minutes of the Rector, Dean of Faculty's, and Principal's meetings, . . . the accounts being judged reasonable.'' From the chapel accounts of June 1, 1769, we find Holden presenting the sum of fifteen pounds fifteen shillings to the chapel committee " for buying music for the College ; " and on May 18, 1770, the sum of twenty- one pounds ten shillings and ninepence as a present " for the en- couragement of music in this University." An edition of Holden's Essay quoted above ^vas published at Calcutta in 1799,^ and one at Edinburgh in 1807.^ Francis Holden (probably a son of John 1 This was edited by a gentleman who possessed the only copy of the original to be found in that country. 2 The editor of this edition is not known to the writer. 172 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. Holden) was one of six precentors who petitioned the Magistrates and Town Council of Glasgow for an advance in salary, September 1783. Glasgow, No. 70 S.P. During the last forty years this tune has been assigned to Holden, hut it is doubtful if he composed it. In the index to the ' Scottish Psalmody ' of 1867 Holden is named as composer, and the date 1766 given. In that year (1766) Holden published 'A Collection of Church Music ; consisting of New Setts of the Common Psalm-Tunes with some other Pieces. . . . Principally designed for the Use of the University of Glasgow.' That work contains a tune " St Matthew's or Glasgow," but it is totally different from No. 70 in S.P. See Moore, Thomas.

It is also in Bobert GUmour's 'The Psalm - Singer's Assistant,' second edition, with improvements, Paisley, 1793 ; and in many other Scotch collections issued about the beginning of the present century. It was commonly associated with Psalm 79, verse 3 : — " Their blood about Jerusalem Like water they have shed ; And there was none to bury them When they were slain and dead." The Rev.

Church, informed the writer that upwards of fifty years ago, when preaching a missionary sermon in a church in Fifeshire, he gave as a closing psalm the 72d, verses 17, 18, and 19, when to his astonishment the precentor struck up " Funeral." It was evident he knew little about adaptation. Hopkins, Edward John, born at Westminster, London, June 30, 1818 ; chorister in the Chapel Eoyal under William Hawes from 1826 to 1833 ; pupil of T. F.

Hullah was an ardent advocate of Wilhem's method of teaching singing — the fixed Doh — and he adapted it to English use. His classes held at Exeter and St Martin's Halls between the years 1841 and 1850 were attended by thousands. In his early enthusiasm for the elevation of the working classes. Canon Kingsley wrote ' Alton Locke,' and in this novel he put into the mouth of his tailor -hero the following glow- ing tribute to Hullah, whose large classes at Exeter Hall were then attracting much attention : " I had no idea that music was capable of expressing and conveying emotions so intense and ennobling. My experience was confined to street music, and to the bawling at the chapel. And as yet Mr Hullah had not risen into a power more enviable than that of kings, and given to every workman a free entrance into the magic world of harmony and melody, where he may prove his brotherhood with Mozart and Weber, Beethoven and Mendelssohn. Great unconscious dema- gogue ! leader of the people, and labourer in the cause of divine equality ! Thy reward is with the Father of the people." His tune Bentley, No. 198 F.C.H. and 240 (Second Tune) S.H., was composed for ' Psalms and Hymns for Divine Worship,' 1867.

Happt Land, No. 352 U.P.H., 367 P.C.H., 432 S.H. The following regarding the origin of the hymn will be of interest : Mr Andrew Young, author of " There is a happy land," was a native of Edinburgh. His father was a successful teacher in that city for upwards of fifty years. Mr Young was master of Niddry Street School, Ediuburgh, and of the Madras College, St Andrews, where he had 600 pupils. He afterwards retired, and resided in Edinburgh, where he died, November 30, 1889, aged eighty years. As to M 178 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. the origin of tie hymn, Mr Young gave the following account : " In 1838, a lady, among many pieces she played me, incidentally brought in the Indian air, ' Happy Land.' I was greatly impressed with the simple beauty of the air, and asked her to play it over and over again till I had it in my memory. Next day I wrote this little hymn to the air I so much admired, wedding it to my simple words as a suitable hymn for children. Mr James Gall of Edinburgh was the first to hear it sung by my pupils, and he also so much admired it that he got it arranged and published it, and from that time it has gone over the world. I never heard the words of the Indian song tUl 1842, when I was resident in St Andrews. The opening words are, ' I have come from a happy land where care is unknown.' " Professor Masson relates the following touching incident in the career of the novelist Thackeray : " While walking one day in a squalid street in the east end of London, he came suddenly upon a band of gutter-children sitting on the pavement and singing. As he approached he heard the words, ' There is a happy land, far, far away.' As he looked at the ragged choristers and their squalid surroundings, and watched their pale faces lit up with an expression of delighted hope, he burst into tears." Irons, Herbert Stephen, son of Mr John Irons, and nephew of Sir George J. Elvey, Mus. Doc, born at Canterbury, January 19, 1834 ; chorister at Canterbury Cathedral from 1844 to 1849 ; pupil and assistant of Dr Stephen Elvey at Oxford ; precentor and master of the choristers, St Columba College, Ireland, 1856 to 1857 ; organist and master of the choristers, Southwell Minster, Notts, 1857 to 1872 ; assistant-organist, Chester Cathedral, 1873 to 1875 ; since 1876 organist of St Andrew's Church, Nottingham. His tunes Southwell, No. 268 S.H., and St Columba, No. 287 S.H. and 270 F.C.H., were first published in 'Hymns Ancient and Modern,' 1861. Isaac, Heinrich, was born in Germany about the middle of the fifteenth century. He was chapel-master of the Church of St Giovanni, at Florence, about 1488, and entered the service of the Emperor Maximilian I. as director of the choir about 1510. The date of his death is uncertain. Innsbruck, No. 280 U.P.H., 193 S.H., " Nun ruhen alle Walder." This was at first a secular melody to the words, " Innsbruck ich muss dich lassen." It was afterwards set to the hymn, by Johann Hesse, " welt ich muss dich lassen," and finally to Paul Gerhardt's hymn, "Nun ruhen alle Walder,". with which it has remained associated. Bach employs the tune in his ' Grosse Passions Musik,' and Mendelssohn in his unfinished oratorio " Christus." J. St Lucy, No. 417 S.H. Appears in Sir Arthur S. Sullivan's 'Church Hymns with Tunes,' 1874. Jackson, Thomas, bom about 1715, was organist of St Mary Magdalen Parish Church, and Master of the Song School, Newark- JACKSON. 179 on-Trent, in succession to John Alcock, jun., 1768 ; died November 11, 1781 ; buried in the church. In 1780 he published • Twelve Psalm Tunes and Eighteen Double and Single Chants . . . com- posed for Four Voices.' Jackson, No. 97 P. and P., 85 S.P., 69 U.P.P., 242 U.P.H., is there set to Psalm 47. It is wrongly assigned in the tliree last-named collections to William Jackson of Exeter. Dr Miller styles it " Byzantium " in his collec- tion (No. 216) issued in 1800. Chahts No. 242 S.P. and 82 U.P.P., 267 S.P. and 207 U.P.P., were com- posed by Jackson, and are in his work mentioned above. They are, like his tune, wrongly assigned to William Jackson of Exeter. Jackson, 'William, known to the musical world as " Jackson of Exeter," was born at Exeter, May 28, 1730, and became a pupil of John Sylvester, then the organist of Exeter Cathedral, and afterwards of John Travers, organist of the Chapel Royal. In 1777 he succeeded Richard Langdon as organist and master of the choristers of Exeter Cathedral. He died July 12, 1803. Chant No. 240 S.P. was composed in 1790, and published in Marsh's Collection about 1810. The copy given below is from the original, and, as will be observed, the Chant is formed upon a tonic pedal note. Writiag on chants of this construction, Mr Havergal observes : " They are not common, nor is it desirable that they should be. They are said to have originated with Mr Jackson of Exeter, whose well-known chant in B Flat is the best he ever wrote, and the chief of its kind." Key Bb. (T) c\ / n r d t, :- d ti 1, S| 1", fi n.

Edited, and dedicated by permission to The Venerable the Dean and Chapter of Exeter Cathedral, by the organist, James Paddon.' Vol. ii. No date. There seems to be some doubt as to whether or not this Service was com- posed by Jackson, for a correspondent writes thus to the editor of ' The Musical World ' of February 23, 1856 :— " Jackson in F." " SlE, — No doubt you are aware that a medley which goes by the dignified name of ' Jackson iu F ' has been sung in many churches and places of worship for several years. ' William Jackson of Exeter,' as he is generally called, died in 1803, and this Service ( !) was certainly not known before the year 1812, about which period it began to be introduced into the Exeter parish churches, and was sung at the cathedral of that city. Jackson was succeeded as organist of St Peter's by his pupil, James Paddon, who many years afterwards published Jackson's Church Music, and with it the ' Service ' in F. In 1834, Paddon was on his deathbed, and some weeks before he died declared that Jackson did not write the ' Service ' in P. As it is very desirable to place the saddle on the right animal, perhaps this information will be useful to some of your readers. I may add that my information can be well authenticated. Hoping your numerous readers will carefully digest the matter, — I am, &c.. Oboe." There does not seem to have been any published answer to this letter. Mr T. P. Hamlin of Exeter, who was a pupU of Paddon's, informs the writer that he has seen the original copy of the Te Deum in F in Jackson's own hand- writing.

Preface dated Winchester, 1863. Jamieson, Augustus Grant, son of Mr Eohert Jamieson, solicitor ; born at Edinburgh, December 20, 1844 ; studied under J. C. Kieser and J. T. Surenne there ; also at the University under Professor Donaldson, and at Stuttgart under Herr Wintemitz ; was appointed organist of Brighton Street Church, a post he held for eight years ; afterwards organist of St George's Episcopal Church for five years ; appointed organist and choirmaster of St Paul's Episcopal Church by Sir Herbert Oakeley in 1872 ; music-master at George Watson's Ladies' College from its opening in 1872, also at the Ministers' Daughters' College, and other institutions ; con- ductor of the Orpheus Orchestral Society for two years ; captain of No. 7 Company of the Queen's City of Edinburgh Bifle Volun- teer Brigade ; died at Edinburgh, January 21, 1888, and buried in the Grange Cemetery, January 25 ; succeeded at St Paul's by his son, Herbert Linton Eddie Jamieson, who, however, retired from the office early in 1891. Beibrlet, No. 64 (Second Tune) S.H., and St Sulpice, No. 306 S.H., were composed by him for the hymns to which they are set, and were first published in the ' Book of Psalms and Scottish Hymnal,' 1872. Mr Jamieson contributed to various hymnals, and published several com- positions for the pianoforte. His brother, Bev. William Cruickshank Eddie Jamieson, B.A., minister of St Matthew's Parish Church, Glasgow, and latterly of the Tron Church, Edinburgh, was distinguished as a preacher of the Gospel. He died in 1881. Several hymn tunes of his composition are still in MS. Jones, John, born 1728 ; appointed organist of the Temple Church, November 24, 1749 ; of the Charterhouse, July 2, 1753 ; of St Paul's Cathedral, December 25, 1755 ; held all three posts tin his death ; was one of the directors of the Handel Commemora- tion, 17S4 ; died February 17, 1796. His Chant in D (Single), No. 354 S.H., appears in Vandeman's Collection, 1770. Chant in D (Double), No. 249 S.P., 176 U.P.P., was published by Jones in his ' Sixty Chants, Single and Double,' 1785. It was performed April 23, 1789, when George III. went in state to gt Paul's to return thanks for his restoration to health and reason. For many years it was constantly 182 BIOGEAPHICAL SKETCHES. used at the annual meetings of the charity children in the cathedral ; and at the anniversary of 1791 was heard by Haydn, who was so pleased with it that he noted it down, suggesting a slight alteration in the last strain, and after- wards said, " This simple and natural air gave me the greatest pleasure I ever received from the performance of music." Jones, Eev. "William, bom at Lowick, Northamptonshire, July 30, 1726 ; educated at the Charterhouse, and at University College, Oxford, where he graduated 1749 ; took holy orders, and in 1764 became vicar of Bethersden, Kent, and afterwards rector of Pluckley, a post which he afterwards exchanged for the rectory of Paston, Northamptonshire ; in 1798 became rector of Holling- bourne, Kent ; appointed perpetual curate of Nayland, Suffolk, about 1776; died February 6, 1800; author of 'A Treatise on Music,' and other works. Newington, No. 114 F.C.H., 90 S.H., 114 P. and P., 142 U.P.P., 109 S.P. (original name " St Stephen's Tune "), was published (Key B flat) at the end of ' Ten Church Pieces for the Organ, with Four Anthems, . . . composed for the use of the Church of Nayland in Suffolk,' by William Jones, M.A., March 25, 1789. It is there set to Psalm 23. It is found in John Knott's col- lection published at Aberdeen, 1814, this being probably its first appearance in a Scottish Psalmody. It there bears its original title. The name "New- ington " seems to have been first given to it in E. A. Smith's ' Sacred Music,' second edition, Edinburgh, 1828. In John Wilson's Collection, Edinburgh, 1825, it is named " Naylor," doubtless a misprint for " Nayland." Josephi (or Joseph), Georg, a musician in the Chapel of the Prince-Bishop of Breslau, in the middle of the seventeenth century. He wrote a large number of melodies for the hymns of Johann Scheffler (Angelus SUesius), which are published in Scheffler's ' HeUige Seelen-Lust oder Geistliche Hirtenlieder,' Breslau, 1657, in three books. They contained 123 tunes, of which 107 are by Josephi. A fourth book was soon afterwards added, with 32 tunes, of which 30 are by Josephi. The work appeared in a complete form in 1668, with a fifth part containing 48 tunes by Josephi and 2 by other composers — 205 tunes in all. Angelus, No. i288 S.H., 304 U.P.H., 32 F.C.H., appears in Kocher's ' Zionsharfe,' 1854-55, set to the hymn, "Du meiner Seelen gold'ne Zier." The tune set to that hymn in the ' Hirtenlieder,' Book I. (No. 22), is iden- tical withj" Angelus " as far as the middle of the second line, but the simi- larity ends there. It seems more probable that it is adapted from the following tune, which is also in Book I. (No. 7), set to " Komm mein Herze, komm mein Schatz " : — JOSEPHI. 183 Key E\>.

CuLBACH, No.234{SecondTune)S.H.,268U.P.H., "Ach wenn kommt die Zeit heran," is No. 2 in Book I. It is marked " After a weU-known melody." Wrongly assigned in the S.H. to Dretzell, who was not bom tUl 1705, nearly fifty years after it appeared in the above. In J. 6. Storl's ' Choralbnch,' 1711, the tune is found in the following form : — KeyD. .{I :d |d_^:PKf|s {|di :di |tJ:t |1 :1 {|1 :«Jf|" =-|| •■' s :s s jn :- II :s } :s |s :Lt|di :s }. |l.s:f.iilr :r Id :- 11 184 BIOGEA.PHICAL SKETCHES. SoHEFFLBE, No. 168 F.C.H., is an altered copy of the tune which is set to "Bis gegriist mein Gnaden-Thron," No. 21, Book I. It appears in its present form in Kocher's ' Zionsharfe,' 1855-56. Fbakkfoet, No. 373 (First Tune) S.H. This tune is wrongly assigned to Josephi. His name may have become associated with it from the fact that in North Germany it is usually set to a pastoral by Scheffler, " Liebe, die du mich zum Bilde." See Bach, J. C. Kent, James, was bom at Winchester, March. 13, 1700.

S. Wesley, and George Cooper ; instru- mentation Tinder Sir W. Sterndale Bennett ; singing and music generally under Henry Smart ; and theory and composition un- der Sir George Smart ; in 1853 appointed organist to the Cor- poration of Glasgow on the recommendation of Henry Smart,* a position he still holds; appointed organist of St Mary's Epis- copal Church, Glasgow, December 16, 1853, and played his first service on the 25th of that month; of Glasgow Choral Union, August or September 1857,^ retiring in 1880 ; from 1866 till 1889 organist of Park Church, Glasgow; founder and conductor of Lambeth's Select Choir, which had the honour of being com- manded to perform before her Majesty the Queen at Balmoral, September 29, 1877, and on May 27, 1879. Mr Lambeth's com- positions consist of organ and pianoforte music, songs, and many beautiful arrangements of Scotch airs as part-songs. His more important works are settings of Psalms 137 (" By the waters of Babylon") and 86 ("Bow down Thine ear"), composed for the Glasgow Choral Union, by whom the first-named was performed on March 13, 1861, and the last-named on November 7, 1873. In 1876 he edited an important collection of ■ church . music, entitled ' The Scottish Book of Praise ; being Selections from the Psalms in Prose and Verse, and other parts of Scripture, with a Collection of Hymns, Paraphrases, and Anthems. The whole Printed with Music, designed to assist in Congregational Singing.' fl TTAN T No, 48 in U.P.P. is from tie above Collection, where it is set to Psalm 48. Lampe, Johann Friedrich., was a native of Saxony, but in what part of that country he was born seems unknown. It is asserted by some that his place of birth was Helmstadt, but the 1 Of this appointment Smart said : " I have done many good things for the art in my day, but the best thing I ever did was to send Mr Lambeth to Glasgow." 2 Not 1858. LAMPE. 189 baptismal records of St Stephen's, St Marienburg, and St Ludger churches having been searched at the writer's instigation, no entry of his baptism can be found.i It is known, however, that he settled at Helmstadt to study music, and this may have given rise to the statement that he was bom there. About 1725 he arrived in London, and became a bassoon-player in Handel's opera band ; and tradition relates that he was one of the best performers of his time. He aspired, however, to something higher than being a mere member of the band, for in 1732 he composed the music to Henry Carey's "Amelia." His most successful effort was the music he composed for the same writer's burlesque opera, " The Dragon of Wantley," which met with unbounded success, and made binn famous. Lampe's other theatrical works need not be mentioned here. He was author of 'A Plain and Compendious Method of Teaching Thorough Bass' (1737), and 'The Art of Musick,' 1740. In 1748 or 1749 Lampe went to Dublin, perform- ing at concerts with his wife, Isabella Young," a noted vocalist and actress, and daughter of Charles Young, organist of All-Hallows, Barking. About the close of the year 1750 he arrived in Edin- burgh, and conducted many theatrical performances at the Canon- gate Theatre,^ in all of which his wife took a part. About the 15th of July 1751, Lampe was seized with an Ulness which ter- minated fatally on the 25th * of that month, and was buried in the Canongate Churchyard (East Wall), where a monument — now in a dilapidated state — was erected to his memory, bearing the follow- ing inscription : — " Here lye the mortal remains of Johann Frederic Lampe, whose harmonious compositions shall outlive monumental registers, and, with melodious notes through future ages perpetuate his fame, tiU. time shall sink into eternity. His taste for moral harmony ap- peared through aU his conduct. On the 25th of July 1751, in the forty-eighth year of his age, he was summoned to join that heavenly 1 The search was from 1688 to 1710 inclusive, and the name Lampe was not once met with. 2 Charles James Frederick Lampe, organist of All-Hallows, Barking, from 1758 to 1769, was son of the above marriage. " Kent " is wrongly assigned by some editors to him.

" In vita felicitate dignos mors reddit felices." Lampe was an intimate associate of the Wesleys, and the Rev. Charles Wesley wrote a hymn on his death, which was afterwards set to music by Dr Arnold. The first stanza runs thus : — " 'Tis done ! the sov'reign -wUl's obey'd, The soul by angel guards oonvey'd Has took its seat on high. The brother of my choice is gone To music sweeter than his own, To concerts in the sky." Kent, No. 77 (Second Tune) and 179 (First Tune) S.H., 18 P. and P., is the composition of Lampe. It appeared in ' Hymns on the Great Festivals and other Occasions,' London, printed for M. Cooper, 1746. This collection, which consists of melodies only, with a figured bass, set to twenty-four hymns by the Rev. Charles Wesley, is without the name of either the author or the composer ; but on the title-page of the second edition, issued in 1753 after Lampe's death, it is stated that the work may be obtained " at Mrs Lampe's lodging " ; and in a letter of Wesley's dated December 11, 1746, the follow- ing passage occurs : " Tell Mrs Dewal not to mind that envious gentleman who slandered Lampe. His tunes are universally admired here among the musical men, and have brought me into high favour among them." It was originally set to the hymn, " Sinners, obey the Gospel word," and, like the others, had no name. Dr Miller, in his ' Psalms of David for the Use of Parish Churches,' 1790, names it "Kent" ; and in Harrison's 'Sacred Har- mony,' vol. ii. (1791), it is named "Invitation." For upwards of a century it has been wrongly assigned to Dr Maurice Greene, and also to a "George Greene, son of Dr Greene," but the Doctor had no son. It must not be supposed that the introduction of this tune into Scotland is of recent date, for it is found in Thomas Moore's ' Psalm Singer's Pocket Companion,' Glasgow, 1756, and is there named " Psalm 145." Also in Corn- forth Gilson's CoUeotion, Edinburgh, 1769, where it is named " New Church Tune." liangdon, Kioliard, born about 1729 ; appointed organist of Exeter Cathedral in room of John Silvester, deceased, June 23, 1753 ; resigned October 4, 1Y77, when WiUiam Jackson succeeded him; appointed organist of Ely Cathedral, November 26, 1777, but does not seem to have entered upon the duties ; appointed or- ganist of Bristol Cathedral in room of Samuel Mineard, December 3, 1777; elected one of the lay clerks of the Cathedral, November 30, 1778 ; resigned before June 25, 1781 ; appointed organist of LANGKAN — LATIN. 191 Armagh Cathedral, August 14, 1782, in succession to Dr Langrische Doyle ; resigned in 1794, when he was succeeded by Dr John Clarke (afterwards Clarke - Whitfeld) ; graduated Mus.

Baptiste Calkin, Dr Gordon Saunders, and Dr J. F. Bridge ; organist of Holy Trinity Church, Tottenham, from 1859 to 1870 ; and from 1870 to the present time organist of the Parish Church ; graduated Mus. Bac, Oxford University, 1884 ; musical editor of the ' New Mitre Hymnal,' 1875. Dberhubst, No. 235 P.C.H. and 112 S.H. ; also St Agnes, No. 287 F.C.H., 279 (First Tune) U.P.H., 320 S.H., were published in ' Psalms and Hymns adapted to the Services of the Church of England,' &c., by John Foster,^ 1863. A varied form of " Deerhurst " appears in ' Tunes and Chants used in St Anne's Church, Birkenhead,' 1864. " St Agnes " was composed for the hymn " Abide with me," and published on single slips in 1861 or 1862. It is named "Evensong" in Foster's collec- tion quoted above, and also in its successor 'The New Metre Hymnal,' 1875. Iiatin. Ephbatah, No. 30 U.P.H., 226 F.C.H., melody of the fourteenth century. 1 Langdon's biographers err in stating that he was the son of the Eev. Tobias Langdon, priest-vicar and sub-chanter of Exeter Cathedral, as the latter died September 4, 1712. He (Tobias) had a, son named Eichard, who was baptised in Exeter Cathedral, July 18, 1686, and probably he was father of the Chant writer. The statement made above, that Langdon was seventy- four years of age at death, is from his memorial tablet at Exeter. 2 The following is offered regarding the career of this editor, vocalist, and composer, which has not appeared elsewhere : Foster, John, bom at Staines, Middlesex, August 1827 ; elected a chorister at St George's Chapel, Windsor, 1836 ; in 1844 articled pupil of Dr, afterwards Sir G. J. Elvey, there ; organ- ist St Andrew, Wells Street, London, 1847 ; elected Gentleman of her Ma- jesty's Chapel Boyal, and lay vicar, Westminster Abbey, 1856. When at St George's, Windsor, his reputation as a soprano singer was widespread, and he is still an excellent alto vocalist, and one of the finest exponents of old English glees we have.

Iioekwood, Badclifife Boorman, a musical amateur, was born in Binghamton, New York, U.S.A., May 6, 1829, and educated principally in private schools. He is a graduate of Columbia College Law School, New York. Mr Lockwood has during his lifetime been much interested in Sunday-school work, and for many years had charge of the music at the Five Points House of Industry, New York, where he taught thousands of the little waifs who entered that institution to sing. He composed several tunes to Sunday-school hymns, one of which is Good Shepherd, No. 414 S.H. and 377 F.C.H. It was composed in 1858 or 1859, and published by Horace Watters in ' The Sabbath-School Bell,' New York, 1859, where it is given "As sung by the children at the Five Points House of Industry." The words were written by the late Mrs Mary Woolsey Howland, wife of the Rev. Robert Howland, D.D., late Rector of the "Church of the Heavenly Rest," New York. Lohr, George Augustus, born at Norwich, 1821 ; educated at Magdalen CoUege, Oxford, as a chorister ; in 1836 became an articled pupil of Dr Buck, then organist of Norwich Cathedral; in November 1845 appointed organist of St Margaret's Church, Leicester, and afterwards choirmaster, which positions he still holds. St Frances, No. 79, 213, and 219 (Second Tune) S.H., 129 P. and P., 182 S.P., 62 F.C.H., 83 U.P.P., 186 and 282 CT.P.H., was composed in 1855 to a hymn translated from the Latin by the Rev. Dr J. H. Newman, beginning " Now that the daylight dies away." It was first published in ' Bemrose and Adlington's Chorale Book,' 1861, and afterwards in ' The Bristol Tune Book," 1863. Xiomas, George, born at Birch Hull, Bolton, November 30, 1834 ; studied music Tinder Dr Steggall, the late Sir W. Stemdale Bennett, and more recently under Dr J. F. Bridge, of Westminster Abbey ; for seven years voluntary organist at Didsbury Parish Church, and for eighteen years voluntary organist at Emmanuel Church, Barlow Moor ; altered circumstances induced him to take up music as a profession, and"he graduated as Mus. Bac, at New College, Oxford, in October 1876 ; continued as organist at Emmanuel Church until his death, October 18, 1884, having held that post for nearly twenty-seven years. Submission, No. 214 S.H., is one of a number of tunes composed for 'The Bristol Tune Book,' 1876. Iiowry, Kev. Robert, D.D., bom in Philadelphia, Pennsyl- vania, United States of America, March 12, 1826 ; educated at LUTHER. 197 Lewisburgli University, Pennsylvania, where he graduated in 1854 ; entered the Baptist ministry ; became, in 1869, Professor of Rhetoric at Lewisburgh ; resigned his appointment in 1875, and settled at Plainfield, New Jersey, where, in 1876, he became pastor of the second Baptist Church ; received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from his University in 1875. His tune Beautiful Rtvee, No. 440 S.H., and the words to which it is set, were written in July 1864, and published In 1865 in a small collection of hymns and tunes entitled 'Happy Voices.' Ijuther, Martin, D.D., the great leader of the Eeformation in Germany, was the son of a miner. He was bom at Eisleben, in Saxony, November 10, 1483, and educated at the University of Erfurt ; professor of philosophy and divinity in the University of Wittenberg ; died at Eisleben, February 18, 1546. Music was Luther's favourite art. He cultivated it assiduously all his life, and taught it to his children. He excelled very much as a flute and lute player, and was fully alive to the value of music, both in the service of the Church and as an aid to private devotion. He did not hesitate to say that " music is the art of the prophets ; it is the only other art which, like theology, can calm the agitations of the soul and put the devil to flight." Luther composed several hymn tunes, and adapted others from older and well-known melodies. He also wrote about forty hymns, some of which were originally printed on single slips with the tunes. Bin' festb Bukg, No. 182 S.H., 325 F.C.H., 144 U.P.H., named in the last two collections "Worms," is Luther's test known composition, and appears in ' Geistliche Lieder,' printed hy Joseph Klug, Wittenberg, 1529, and the ' Augsburger Gesangbuch,' 1530. It is said to have been composed by Luther on his way to the Diet of Worms, April 1521 ; but this is con- sidered unlikely, as it is not in the collection of 1524. Meyerbeer makes use of it itt his opera " The Huguenots," and Mendelssohn in his " Reforma- tion Symphony." Befubt, No. 199 U.P.P., 290 U.P.H., " Von Himmel hoch da komm' ich her," is attributed to Luther. It appears in Lotther's ' Magdeburg Gesang- buch,' 1540. Luther's 130th, No. 125 U.P.H., " Aus tiefer Noth schrei ioh zu dir," a hymn based by Luther upon Psalm 130, De Profundis. This tune is asso- ciated with that hymn, and appears in ' Geistliche Gesangbuchlein,' Witten- berg, 1524 ; it is probably by Luther. Luther's Hymn, No. 155 S.H., 318 F.O.H., 71 U.P.H., appears in a collection published by Joseph Klug in 1535, set to the words " Nun freut euch, liebe Christen g'mein," It was afterwards adapted to the hymn " Es 198 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. ist gewisslich." It is doubtful if Luther composed this tune ; a tradition exists that he wrote it on hearing it sung by a traveller. It has been associated in this country with the hymn, " Great God, what do I see and heai ? " and was at one time much used at mu.sical festivals and sacred concerts. John Braham,i the great tenor vocalist, used to sing it, Harper accompanying him on the trumpet with effective fanfares between the lines. The reading given in the above hymnals is found in Jacobi's ' Psalmodia Germanica,' 1722, and differs considerably from the original. The follow- ing is the reading given by Von Tuoher.

Thought to be an old German melody which Luther adapted to his arrangement of " Nun bitten wir den heiligen Geist," a hymn of the thirteenth century. The form now in use is an abridgment by Henry Edward Dibdin, who published it in his ' Standard Psalm Tune Book,' and has for many years been associated with Paraphrase 15.

A collection of hymns with tunes, published in 1708, under the title, ' Lyra Davidica, or a Collection of Divine Songs and Hymns, partly new composed, partly translated from the High German and Latin Hymns, and set to easy and pleasant Tunes,' London, 1708. Eastee Hymn, No. 54 (First Tune) S.H., 169 (Second Tune) P.C.H., is in the above work, harmonised in two parts (treble and bass), and set to the hymn "Jesus Christ is risen to-day." It is erroneously assigned in many collections to Dr Worgan, who was not bom in 1708. It is found in Comforth Gilson's Collection, published at Edinburgh in 1759. This is probably one of its earliest appearances in a Scottish collec- tion. C. Lee Williams has introduced the first line of this tune in his church cantata, " The Last Night at Bethany," composed for the Gloucester Musical Festival, 1889.

His political tendencies forced him to leave Germany. In 1841 he competed against Sir Henry E. Bishop for the mtisical professorship at Edinburgh, but was unsuccessful.

Baxter's 'Harmonia Sacra,' edited by Vincent NoveUo, 1840. Martin, George 'Williara, a prominent figure in London musi- cal circles about thirty years ago, was born March 8, 1828, and studied as a chorister in St Paul's Cathedral under William Hawes. He also sang sometimes in St James's Palace, when her Majesty the Queen — then a young girl — used to attend the Chapel Eoyal with her mother, the Duchess of Kent. Martin was professor of music at the Normal College for Army Schoolmasters, and from June 1845 to Michaelmas 1853 was resident music-master at St John's Training College, Battersea. He was also the first organist of Christ Church, Battersea, which was opened in 1849. His abilities as a conductor were of a high order, and the concerts of the National Choral Society and the Metropolitan Schools Choral Society, which he conducted, were spoken of by the Lon- don press in highly eulogistic terms. His compositions are excellent, and many of his glees and part-songs obtained prizes. Martin died at Bolingbroke House Hospital, Wandsworth, April 16, 1881. It is sad to relate that the closing years of this talented musician's life were passed in intemperate excess. A gentleman generously paid for his maintenance at the hospital where he died. Martin refused to give any address where he had lived, or the name of any friend except the gentleman who befriended him. He was evidently quite destitute, and no doubt had not had any settled place of abode for some time. He was not married. He had no personal effects. Only a few scraps of music and memoranda were found in his pockets. The simple facts show conclusively that he had drained the cup of misery to the dregs, and wished to die in obscurity. The assigned cause of death was a severe attack of rheumatic fever, induced by exposure and want. His body was buried in Woking Cemetery by the parish. The fol- lowing anecdote relating to Martin is told : The Prince Consort having composed a part-song, had requested Sir George Smart to attend at Buckingham Palace with a few choir boys for the pur- pose of its performance. When the musical company reached the presence of his Royal Highness, the latter presented a copy of the part-song to young Martin and said, " Can you sing that at sight 1 " " Yes, sir," replied Martin, quite undismayed, and performed the task to the Prince's satisfaction. But that unlucky expression. MASON. 205 " sir," called forth from punctilious Sir George's right hand a tre- mendous box on the ears outside the palace gates. Leominster, No. 147 P.C.H., 248 S.H., 318 U.P.H., associated with Dr Bonar's liymn, " A few more years shall roU," was composed by Martin and published in his 'Journal of Part Music,' vol. ii. (1862). The harmony in the above hymnals is by Sir Arthur S. SuUivan. S.S., No. 65 U.P.H., "Teach me, Lord, the way," is his composition, and appears in his 'Journal of Part Music,' No. 21 (1862). Mason, Lo'well, Mus. Doc, son of Johnson Mason and Caty Hartshorn, was born at Medfield, Massachusetts, January 8, 1792. When not much more than a boy, his fondness and aptitude for music placed him in the position of leader of a church choir in his native town. From Massachusetts he removed to Savannah, where he was clerk in a bank. Here he conducted the psalmody of the large Presbyterian church, and compiled his first collection of church music. Obtaining leave of absence from the bank, he bent his steps to Philadelphia, and offered the copyright of his book to the publishers, if he might but receive a few copies for his own use. They all declined the offer ; and when the young enthusiast went to Boston, he fared no better. He was about to return to Savan- nah, when he met a musical gentleman, who desired to examine his work. The gentleman expressed great satisfaction with it, and, with Lowell Mason's permission, showed the manuscript to the Board of Management of the Boston Handel and Haydn Society, of which he was a member. That Society published it, giving the author an interest in the work. It became immensely popular, and speedily ran through seventeen large editions. This success decided Lowell Mason's course of life. He took up his abode at Boston, became organist of Dr Lyman Beecher's church, and com- menced the work of lecturing and publishing church music in earnest. In 1832 he established the Boston Academy of Music, and in 1838 obtained power to teach in all the schools of Boston. At the same time he founded periodical conventions of music- teachers, which have proved very useful, and are now estab- lished in many parts of the States. He also published a large number of manuals and collections, which sold enormously, and produced him a handsome fortune. His degree of Doctor in Music — ^the first of the kind conferred by an American college — was granted by the New York University in 1835. He died at Orange, New Jersey, August 11, 1872.

It bears a strong resemhlanoe to a tune named "St Clement," hy the Eev. Eichard Cecil, published in Ms daughter's collection in 1814. McDonald, Alexander, was joint music-master with Archi- bald McDonald — presumably his father — at George Heriot's Hospital, Edinburgh, from 1807 to 1810 ; appointed precentor of Old Greyfriars' Church, Edinburgh, in succession to John Neil,i February 1, 1804, but dismissed from the office, October 29, 1817, for not attending to his duties. He is probably the same who edited ' The Notation of Music Simplified,' Glasgow, October 1826. Heriot's Tune, No. 88 P. and P., appears in 'A Collection of Vocal Music, containing Church Tunes, Anthems, and Songs, for the use of the several Hospitals of this City,' edited by McDonald in 1807. It is there named " George Heriot's Old Tune." As McDonald's work was based on a collection issued by one Lawrie at Edinburgh in 1780, it is probable "Heriot's Tune" appeared there.

The phrase on which this tune is founded is bere given, and is from the chorus, "He stirreth up the Jews," in the unfinished oratorio "Christus" (Opus 97, Posthumous Works, No. 26), first performed at the Birmingham Musical Festival, September 8, 1852.

Preface dated 1840. In 1841, when Mr Henry E.

Excuse me, therefore, if you receive something else than what you wished, and believe me, very truly yours, "Felix Mendelssohn Babtholdy. "Henry E. Dibdin, Esq." For a copy of the above letter, the writer is indebted to John Montgomerie Bell, Esq., W.S. Mertylees, James, son of Mr John Merrylees ; a distinguished musical amateur ; born at Paisley, April 10, 1824, and when a boy played a flute in the local orchestral society. He studied the Tonic Sol-Fa system under the l*te W. D. Read, out of whose classes sprang the Paisley Tonic Sol-Fa Institute, of which Mr Merrylees was honorary conductor from its commencement until 1861, when he removed to Glasgow, and held the post of honorary choirmaster in St George's Eoad Reformed Presbyterian (now Free) Church till 1871. In 1867 he began the study of harmony and composition under the late John Curwen by attend- ing his Euing Lectures in Anderson's College, Glasgow, and afterwards under Mr Colin Brown. In 1871 he gained the Euing Silver Medal for the best Hymn Tune, and in 1872 the Euing Gold Medal for the best Anthem. Mr Merrylees wrote modal accompaniments to Scottish songs for Mr Colin Brown's Collection, 'The Thistle,' and more recently he arranged for four voices, with pianoforte accompaniments, ' The KUlin Collection of Gaelic Melodies' for Mr Charles Stewart. His compositions consist of hymn tunes, anthems, and other pieces. ATlAlfTlc, No. 42 P.C.H. and 22 S.H., was composed in 1878 for the hymn to which it is set, and first appeared in a, monthly periodical named ' The Dayspring ' (October number, 1878). It was afterwards inserted in the Free Church Hymnal, 1882, under its present name. FOKMOSA, No. 175 F.C.H., was composed expressly for the hymn to which it is set, and first published in the ' Sunday School Union Hymnal,' which he assisted in editing in 1876. The harmony of "Bangor," No. 34 S.P., is his. S.S. No. 3 in F.C.H., " For the eyes of the Lord," was composed for that work.

Doc, born at Norwich ; studied under Dr Burney ; elected organist of Doncaster upon the recommen- dation of Dr Nares, July 24, 1756, and held that post for fifty-one years ; graduated Mus. Doc, at Cambridge, 1786 ; author of ' The Elements of Thorough Bass,' also in 1804 a 'History of Don- caster'; died September 12 or 13, 1807, aged seventy-two years. "A warm-hearted, simple-hearted, right-hearted man, an en- thusiast in his profession, yet not undervaluing, much less de- spising, other pursuits." In 1790 he published 'The Psalms of David, for the use of Parish Churches.' Communion, No. 4 S.P., 35 F.C.H., 228 U.P.P., 9 P. and P., 47 and 319 S.H., is there named "Rockingham," and superscrihed "Part of the melody taken from a hymn tune." The following seems to he the original, and is found in Seeley's 'Devotional Harmony,' 1806, under the name of "Great Shelford," and appears to be the earliest copy known : — i P==s^ f=F ^i^JL^^U -. ^^^?Es; S^ ztizi: Key E|,. {:d n :f :r d :— :d Is :ta :I s ■- } {:s d' :di :t 1 :1 :s |f :f :n mj. =- } (:r s :s :I t :— :di r' :f :ivith melancholy, simple and tinpretending, and always graceful and unaflfectedly elegant. He had not the advantage of a regular musical education, or having his taste formed upon the classic models of the art. But there was in his mind a native deKcacy, and an intuitive soundness of judgment, which enabled him to shun the slightest tendency to vulgarity, and to make his produc- tions always fulfil his object, whatever it was. His melodies are . expressive, and his harmonies clear and satisfactory. He had the admirable good sense to know how far he could safely penetrate into the depths of counterpoint and modulation without losing his way ; and accordingly, his music is entirely free from that scien- tific pedantry which forms the prevailing vice of the modem Eng- lish school. Mr Smith has enriched the music of our own country with many melodies which have deservedly become national, and will probably descend in that character from generation to genera- tion in Scotland. His sacred music is uniformly excellent, pos- sessing in a high degree the simplicity of design and solemnity of effect which this species of music requires. . . . His own personal exertions as precentor of St George's Church, and the example which that church has given, have already wrought a wonderful change in the muscial part of our church service." In any history of Scottish song or Scottish psalmody, Smith's name must ever be mentioned with profound respect. St Lawkenob, No. 139 S.P., 64 U.P.P., 134 P. and P., Is one of fourteen tunes he composed for Ms 'Devotional Music' (1810). It is there set to Paraphrase 24, verse 1, and in Key B flat, and was probably named after the parish in whieh he was baptised. Another of the fourteen is his once popular tune "Hamilton." S.S. No. 12 U.P.H., " How beautiful upon the mountains," was composed for the same work. Invocation, No. 183 S.P., 102 U.P.P., 222 P. and P., and DoxOLOGT, No. 14 U.P.H., "Lord, bless us still," S.S. "Blessed be the Lord," No. 8.

The first-named, "Invocation," is indelibly as- sociated with Psalm 43, 3. Since its publication in 1825, editors have been 266 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. content to give it in their collections as composed by Smith ; not so the editor of P. and P., who has most unwarrantably tampered with it. Pos- sibly the tune has faults, but the writer ventures to say that Smith's tunes will have a more lasting place in the psalmody of the Church than some of the modern times that now fill our Hymnals. In the churches where this tinkered form is used, the effect can be better imagined than described. "Selma" — generally thought to be Smith's composition— is described in ' Sacred Music' as an "Ancient Scotish Melody noted in the Island of Arran and harmonized by Mr Smith." It is there set to Psalm 67, "Lord, bless and pity us." MoETEN, No. 104 S.P., appears in No. VI. of 'The Edinburgh Sacred Harmony, for the Use of Churches and Families, consisting of Psalm and Hymn Tunes, Doxologies, Thanksgivings, and Dismissions,' and is described as an "Ancient Scotish Melody," and set to Psalm 142. The late Mr T. L. Hately, who in early life was a member of Smith's choir at St George's, Edinburgh, was of the opinion that Smith composed the tune. Smith's work, ' The Edinburgh Sacred Harmony ' (folio size), was issued in something like ten numbers, at intervals of three months, but was not completed at his death. A supplementary number contains a lengthy preface (dated Decem- ber 24, 1829), written, it is understood, by the Eev. Dr Andrew Thomson.

The second was composed for the Dedication Festival of All Saints' Church, Lathbury, Bucks, 1871. Stanley, Samuel, was born in Staffordshire about 1767. When twenty years of age he was made leader of the singing at Carr's Lane Meeting House, Birmingham. The congregation was small ; but after 1796 it increased, and the singing grew into notice. In 1802 the music became famous ; members of other congregations would often slip out of their own places of worship as soon as the sermon was over and run to Carr's Lane Meeting House, and hear the last hymn. Stanley played the violoncello ; other instruments were used; and a choir of sixteen or twenty singers led the hearty song of the congregation. The congregation removing to a new chapel built in Steelhouse Lane in 1818, the last four years of Stanley's musical work were in connection with this chapel. It seems that the music here was the admiration and envy of all hearers. Stanley died October 1822. He was an excellent violon- cello-player, and was in the band of the Birmingham Theatre, and of the Festival Choral Society from 1802 till 1818, and in the newspapers of the period his name always appears along with those of the best instrumentalists of the time. Among his pupils was Chattway, one of the best double-bass players in England, who 270 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. succeeded him at Steelhouse Lane. Stanley's ideas of the correct mode of rendering Handel's music were quoted and obeyed at the meetings of the Festival Choir for a generation after his death.

The Strasburg Psalters began in 1525, and were continued in various editions for more than half a century. While resident at Strasburg in 1539, Calvin issued a Psalter which had for its title, " Aulcuns Pseaulmes et mys en Chant." This formed the basis of the Psalter afterwards issued at Geneva, the tunes being mostly STKATTNER — SULLIVAN. 273 German, or borrowed from local sources. From these Psalters come the following tvmes : — LiHTZ, No. 196 F.C.H. Steassburg, No. 41 (Second Tune) F.C.H.

SAtEM, No. 66 F.C.H., 156 U.P.P., there named " Evangel." " Clarence " is marked " arranged," because the first and second lines were taken from another work of his.

Noel, No. 29 S.H., 169 P. and P., 60 F.'C.H., 32 U.P.H., is an old melody arranged and partly composed by him, and published as a sacred part-song (Boosey & Co.), 1871.

Doc. ; appointed organist of Bradfield Church, 1875, and of Mistley, with Bradfield, 1878. His tune Dedham, No. 58 F.C.H. and 55 S.P. ; and Manningtreb, No. 108 (First Tune) F.C.H., were first published in these works, and are named after places near Bradfield and Mistley. TalliB, Thomas, one of the greatest of English musicians ; flourished about the middle of the sixteenth century. He was a Gentleman of the Chapel Royal in the reigns of Henry VIII., Edward VI., and Mary, and organist to Elizabeth and of Waltham Abbey till its dissolution in 1540. Tallis composed many anthems, which were published in Barnard's Selected Church Musick,' 1641. He died November 23, 1585, and was buried in the chancel of the Parish Church of Greenwich. His tune Evening Hymn, No. 10 S.P., 285 S.H., 22 F.C.H., 302 U.P.H., is abridged from the eighth tune composed for Archbishop Parker's 'Whole Psalter translated into Englysh Metre,' about 1560. Thomas Ravensoroft (1621) re- duced it to its present form, and set it to " A Psalme before Morning Prayer." Early in the last century it became associated with Bishop Ken's Evening Hymn, "All praise to Thee, my God, this night," after which it underwent great oomiptions, the melody being altered and the canon omitted. Tallis, 168 S.P., 67 F.C.H., 70 and 123 U.P.P., 308 U.P.H., 101 and 189 S.H., 156 P. and P., was composed for the Ordination Hymn in Archbishop Parker's 'Psalter.' Of this tune the Rev. W. H. Havergal said, "A child may sing it, while manly genius will admire it." Compare it with Handel's "Solomon," No. 160 S.P. and 150 P. and P. Chant, No. 226 S.P., and 76 U.P.P., is an arrangement of the first Gre- gorian tone — formerly called " Christ Church " tune — for the " Venite " in his Full Service. The same chant is set to the following : — S.S. in U.P.H., No. 128, "Lord, now lettest Thou Thy servant." II II No. 125, " Our Father which art in heaven." II II No. 114, "Remembernow thy Creator," Tans'ur, "William, a noted psalmodist of last century, was born at Dunchurch, County Warwick, in 1699 or 1700. His baptism did not take place till 1706, as the following extract from the Dunchurch Records will show : " William Tanzer, the son of Edward and Joan Tanzer of Dunchurch, was baptized November - 6, 1706." Tans'ur was author of numerous works on psalmody, several of which contain the earliest known copies of a few of our 276 BIOGEAPHICAL SKETCHES. most popular psalm tunes. He dates his published works in 1737 from Barnes, in Surrey; in 1754 and 1776 from Cambridge; in 1756 and 1759 from Stamford, and in 1761 from Boston, Lincolnshire. He is said to have been living at Leicester in 1770. There are traces of him also at Ware, and here he married Elizabeth Butler on May 20, 1730. She died at Ware, January 9, 1767. He seems to have been at Witham, in Lincolnshire, as well as at Market Harborough, where he buried his son David, January 8, 1743. Later in life he adopted the name and style of William Le Tans'ur, Senior, Musico Theorico. He also styled himself Psalmodist, Philo Music and Theology, and Professor, Corrector, and Teacher of Musick above fifty years. He had a son who had been a chorister of Trinity College, Cambridge, and who joined his father as a teacher of music, and is said to have been living in 1811. The last forty years of Tans'ur's life were spent chiefly at St Neot's as a stationer, bookseller, and teacher of music. He died there October 2 or 7, and was buried Octobe"r 9, 1783, aged eighty-three years. Tans'ur's ' A Compleat Melody ; or. The Harmony of Sion,' 1736 (preface dated 1734), contains Bangor, No. 34 S.P. and 5 U.P.P., set to Psalm 11. It is wrongly re- ferred in some eoUectlons to Thomas Ravenscroft's Psalter, 1621. The tune named "Bangor" there is a "Welsh Tune," and is totally different from that of Tans'ur's. John Holden's Collection, Glasgow, 1766, contains the earliest copy the writer has seen in a Scotch collection. Colchester, No. 62 P.P., 146 U.P.P., 50 S.P., is also there in the follow- ing form, under its present name, and given, as composed in four parts, W. T.:— Melody of "Colchester Tune" in Tans'ur.

Tenney, Jolm Harrison, son of John Tenney ; born in Eowley, Essex County, Massachusetts, U.S.A., November 22, 1840 ; a self-taught musician ; compiled, alone and in conjunction with others, upwards of eighteen volumes of sacred and secular music ; for the last sixteen years honorary organist and choirmaster at the Congregational Church in Seinebrook Parish, Ipswich, U.S.A. S.S., No. 30 F.C.H., 105 U.P.H., "I heard a voice from heaven," was published for the first time in the ' New York Musical Gazette,' June 1868. It was altered to its present form by Sir John Goss, and published in ' Con- gregational Church Music,' Enlarged Edition, 1871. Teschner, Melchior, was precentor at Fraustadt, in Poscn, about 1613, and subsequently pastor of Oberprietschen, near Fraustadt. His biography is obscure.

S.S., No. 4 F.C.H., "He knoweth the way that 1 take," was composed for that work. Thommen, Johann, precentor in St Peter's Church at Basel last century ; held the office for forty-five years ; died at Basel in 1783. Edited in 1745 'Erbaulicher m^usicalischer Liederschatz,' containing 500 hymns and about 275 melodies. Cassel or LucEENE, No. 185 F.C.H., 17 and 303 (First Tune) S.H., 195 and 316 UiP.H., appears on page 173 of Thommen's work, set to the hymn 278 BIOGEAPHICAL SKETCHES. " du Liebe meiner Liebe." This is a muoli earlier source than is usually- given. In the Rev. Christian Gregor's ' Ohoral-Buch,' 1784, it is the chorale " gesegnetes Regieren," No. 167a. Batty or Tuknad, No. 185 and 331 S.H., 220 (First Tune) F.C.H., there named Geneva, No. 223 U.P.H., there named Invitation, is also in Thommen's work, and will be found on page 275, No. 209, set to "Ringe recht, wenn Gottes Gnade," and in the following form : — KeyF. /Id :r |n_£:d_^|n :f |sJ^:n 11 :s II r :s .f |n •" I s :s |s -.r In :f :— Id :r In .f -.s .f jn :r Id :— s :f .nl n :- I {| Dr Layriz, in his ' Kern des Deutsohen Kirohengesangs,' 1854, refers this to the ' Gnadau Choralbuch,' 1735, but no such work exists. He doubtless means the ' Herrnhut Hymn Book ' of 1735, prepared for use of the United Brethren at Gnadau ; but that work has no tunes. The hymn " Binge recht " appears on page 229. In the Rev. Christian Gregor's ' Choral-Buch enthalteud aUe zu dem Gesangbuche der Evangelisohen Briidergemeinen,' 1784, it is set to the words " Gltick, zu Kreuz, von ganzem Herzen," on page 10. As this tune is constantly referred to Freylinghausen's 'Gesangbuch,' 1714, it may be here remarked that the hymn to which it is sometimes set — viz., "Binge recht, wenn Gottes Gnade" — appears there on page 515 with- out a tune, but at the heading there is reference to the melody " ! der Alles," which is totally different. It is also given by some as from J. B. Konig's Collection, 1738 ; but although the first line of the hymn, " Ringe recht," &o., appears in the index, neither hymn nor tune is found in that work.

" He was one of those characters who appear only in an age. Though full of levity and frolic when a boy, yet, after devoting himself to the ministry, he became one of the most zealous, energetic, and eloquent, both in his country and town charges, more especially when occupied in his last. To the circulation of the Holy Scriptures in purity he devoted his majestic talent with overpowering effect in the ' Apocrypha Controversy,' and pleaded with surpassing and amazing oratory for the immediate abolition of slavery in the British colonies shortly before the termination of his earthly career." Dr Thomson was an enthvisiastic musical amateur, and composed many psalm tunes. In 1820 he published ' Sacred Harmony, for the use of St George's Church, Edinburgh,' in which will be found — Redemption, No. 223 P. and P., 184 S.P. ; also St Gbobge's, EnmBURGH, No. 224 P. and P., 185 S.P., and 189 U.P.P.

He was also one of the organists at the Handel Festival held in Westminster Abbey in 1834 ; and the Earl of Mount Edgcumbe, in his ' Musical Reminiscences ' of that year, praised his playing very highly. Turle retired from active duty at the Abbey on September 26, 1875, when his Service in D was sung, but he retained a titular connection with the sacred building, and lived in his cloister-house till his death, which took place on June 28, 1882.

Doc. at Cambridge in 1696 ; died at his house in Duke Street, Westminster, January 13, 1739-40, aged eighty-eight, having survived his wife, with whom he had lived nearly seventy years, only four days, she dying on January 9th, aged eighty-five. They were buried January 16th in one grave, in the west cloister of Westminster Abbey. Turner's compositions consist principally of anthems and church services. Eqham, No. 188 P. and P. It is questionatle if this tune is by Dr Turner, as it is not found in the collections to which he contributed. In the ' Temple Tune Book,' Division I., it is assigned to him by the editor (Dr E. J. Hop- Idns), but nothing is said as to its source. Probably Dr Hopkins followed Dibdin, who ascribes it to Turner in his 'Standard Psalm Time Book,' 1852. Turpin, Sdmund Hart, Mus. Doc, born at Nottingham, May 4, 1835 ; pupil of Charles Noble of Nottingham and others ; organist of St Barnabas Catholic Church, Nottingham, from 1850 to 1864, performing by deputy from 1857, when he re- moved to London ; organist of St George's, Bloomsbury, from 1869 to 1888 ; now organist of St Bride's, Fleet Street ; editor of the ' Musical Standard ' from 1880 to July 1886, and again from 1889 to 1890 ; editor of ' Academic Gazette,' and ' Organ World,' in connection with ' Musical World ' ; Honorary Secretary of the College of Organists siace 1875 ; degree of Mus. Doc. conferred on him by the Archbishop of Canterbury, 1889 ; a distinguished living organist. His tune Akgtlb, No. 322 S.H., was composed about 1866 ; and Eynsham, No. 340 S.H., in 1872. Both were published for the first time, December 1872, in a Collection he edited entitled ' Hymn Tunes.' Turton, Eev. Dr Thomas, Bishop of Ely, bom in Yorkshire in 1780, or, according to some, 1782 ; educated at Cambridge, and in 1805 proceeded B.A., being Senior Wrangler ; in 1806 elected a Fellow of his College, and in the following year succeeded to the office of tutor ; proceeded M.A. iii 1808, and served the office of Moderator for the years 1810, 1811, 1812. In 1816 graduated as B.D., and in 1830 obtained the Deanery of Peterborough, an office he held until 1842, when he was appointed Dean of Westminster ; in 1845 raised to the See of Ely, and died holding that office, January 7, 1864.

It is there named " St Catherine," and set to a version of Psalm 100, " With one consent let all the earth." St Cyeiac, No. 107 U.P.P., was composed in 1862 ; and St Ethklheda, No. 131 S.P., 102 F.C.H., 100 U.P.P., 127 P. and P., 153 (First Tune) S.H., in 1860. Both appear in 'Psalms and Hymns, with ap- propriate Tunes,' published by the Society for Promoting Christian Know- ledge, smd edited by James Turle, 1862. Tye, Christopher, graduated as Mus. Bac. at Cambridge in 1537; proceeded Mus. Doc. 1545, and in 1548 was admitted ad eundem at Oxford. Kecent investigations by W. B. Squire, Esq., stow that Tye was in orders, and ield successively the rectories of Little Wilbraham, Newton, and Doddington-cum-March. He was at Wilbraham in 1564, and on September 12, 1567, John Walker was presented to the living on his resignation. On March 15, 1570, the rectory of Newton was conferred on George Bacon on Tye's resignation, and on March 15, 1572, Hugh Bellet was pre- sented to the living of Doddington-cum-March on the death of Tye. He was a Gentleman of the Chapel Royal in 1545 ; musical precep- tor to King Edward VI., and organist of Ely Cathedral from 1541 till 1562. In Samuel Rowley's play, " When you see me you know me, or the Famous Chronicle Historie of King Henry VIII., with the Birth and Virtuous Life of Edward, Prince of Wales,' 1605, occurs the following reference to Tye : — " England one God, one truth, one doctor hath For Musicke's art, and that is Doctor Tye, Admired for skill in musicke's harmony." Anthony Wood states that Tye restored church music after it had been almost ruined by the dissolution of the monasteries. In 1553 Tye published ' The Actes of the Apostles, translated into Englishe Metre, with Notes to eche Chapter.' The first fourteen chapters only were published. From Tye's work come several of our best known tunes. Apostle's Tune, No. 220 P. and P., is the music to chapter iv., the first verse of which runs thus : — " When that the people taught they had, There came to them doutles ; Priests rulers as men nye mad. And eke the Saduces, 284 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. Whome it greued that they should mouve The people and them leave That Jesus Christ hy powre ahoue Should ryse up from the deade.

The celebrated Joah Bates used to say that the first notion of his own grand style of organ-playing was received " from hearing old Wainwright at the Collegiate Church;" buried at Stockport, January 28, 1768. Yorkshire, No. 376 in the Scottish Hymnal of 1872, is his composition, although there, and in many other Hymnals, assigned to his son, Dr Wain- "WAINWfMGHT, 291 Wright. It was published in 1766 in his ' Collection of Psalm Tunes, An- thems, Hymns, and Chants, for One, Two, Three, and Pour Voices,' and is associated with Byrom's hymn, "Christians, awake, salute the happy morn." ■Wainwriglit, Robert, Mus. Doc, son. of John Wainwright ; succeeded his father at the Collegiate Church ; accumulated the degrees of Bachelor and Doctor in Music at Oxford University, April 29, 1774, on which occasion a grand Te Deum of his compo- sition was performed ; appointed organist of St Peter's, Liverpool (now the Cathedral), March 1, 1775 ; celebrated for the great rapidity of his execution on the organ ; composed oratorios, an- thems, and services ; died July 15; 1782, aged thirty-four years.

They receive the above titles in Harrison's ' Sacred Harmony,' vol. i., 1784 ; vol. ii., 1791. St Gregory, No. 135 U.P.P., 135 S.P., 132 P. and P., appears under that name in ' A Collection of Original Psalm Tunes, for Three and Pour Voices. . . . By Samuel Webbe, Senior and Junior.' It has been sadly tinkered in the S.P. In 1766 Wainwright competed for the situation of organist at Halifax. Dr Edward Miller, in his ' History of Donoaster,' tells the story of the contest to the following effect : A new organ by Snetzler had been erected in the Parish Church, and was opened with an oratorio by Mr Joah Bates. There were seven candidates for the situation of organist, among whom were Robert Wain- wright and F. W. Herschel, then leader of the concerts at Halifax, and an intimate friend of Dr Miller. Concerning the others we have no information. On the day of trial, August 30, they attended at the church, and the order in which they were to play was decided by lot. The second was drawn by Wainwright, and the third by Herschel. Wainwright's execution was so rapid that old Snetzler ran about exclaiming, " Te tevil, te tevU, he run over te key like one cat ; he vil not give my piphes room for to shpeak ! " During this performance. Miller said to Herschel, "What chance have you to follow this man?" He replied, "I don't know, but I am sure fingers will not do." In due time he ascended the gallery, and drew from the organ such a full volume of slow solemn harmony as Miller could by no means account for. After a short extempore effusion of this character, he finished with the Old Hundredth tune, which he played better than his opponent had done. "Ay, ay ! " cried Snetzler, " tish is very goot, very goot inteet ; I will luff tish man, for he gives my piphes room for to shpeak." Herschel being afterwards asked by Miller by what means he had produced so uncommon an effect, answered, "I told you fingers would not do," and taking two pieces of lead from his waistcoat-pocket, he said, " One of these I placed on the lowest key of the organ, the other on the octave above ; thus, by accommodating the har- mony, I gained the power of four hands instead of two." Herschel was thereupon appointed, but soon after entered upon other pursuits, and the musician has been long forgotten in the astronomer. 292 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. ■Waiinvriglit, Kichard, brother of the preceding ; some time organist of the Collegiate Church, and St Ann's, Manchester ; suc- ceeded Dr Wainwright at St Peter's, Liverpool, September 1782 ; afterwards organist of St James's, Toxteth Park ; reappointed to St Peter's, 1813 ; wrote many psalm tunes, and some popular glees ; is said to have excelled in left-hand execution ; died August 20, 1825, aged sixty-seven. His tune Waiitwkight, No. 196 S.H., appears in ' A Collection of Hymns, with ap- propriate Symphonies and Accompaniments, as originally composed for the Children of the Liverpool Blue Coat Hospital' (about 1790). Its original name is "Newmarket," and it was iirst published to "My God, and is Thy table spread?" In Harrison's 'Sacred Harmony,' vol. ii., 1791, it is wrongly assigned to Dr Wainwright. The following anecdote is related of him : Being one evening at a tavern in Liverpool, as he sat with his left arm hanging over the back of the seat, a man who owed him some grudge came in, and going stealthily behind, caught hold of the extended hand, and forced several fingers back so as to dislocate them. The offender was immediately seized by those present, but Wain- ' Wright said, "Let him go ; God forgive him." The injured members were thenceforward useless ; yet such was Wainwright's sMU, that he continued to perform with effect. An old singer who related this to the Rev. Henry Parr, added, "Ay, so long as a Wainwright was in the town, there was never a man fit to hold a candle to him." Walcli, James, son of Mr John Walch ; born at Egerton, near Bolton, June 21, 1837; pupil of his father, and lastly of Henry Smart ; in 1851 appointed organist of Dukes Alley Congregational Church, Bolton ; in 1857 of Walmsley Church ; in 1858 of Bridge Street Wesleyan Chapel, both of which appointments he held at the same time ; in 1863 of St George's Parish Church, Bolton ; in 1870 appointed conductor of the Bolton Philharmonic Society ; in 1874 retired from the musical profession ; since 1877 honorary or- ganist of the Parish Church, Barrow-on-Furness. Sawlet, No. 157 S.P., and 80 F.C.H., was composed in 1857 for a chil- dren's anniversary, and published in 1860 with other tunes for private circu- lation. It was wrongly assigned, in the earlier editions of the F.C.H., to the Rev. F. Pigou. Wallis, Sbenezer John, amateur musician and composer ; born in London, May 9, 1831 ; died at Sutton-at-Hone, Kent, October 26, 1879. Babossa, No. 2 S.P., 31 F.C.H., was composed for use in Heath Street Baptist Chapel, Hampstead, and afterwards revised and published in ' An- thems, Canticles, and Hymns,' 1869. WARREN — WATTS. 293 Warren, Samuel P ,^ son of Mr S. R. Warren, organ- builder ; born in Montreal, Canada, February 18, 1841 ; studied at Berlin under Haupt and others, 1861 to 1864 ; returned to Montreal in 1864, and in 1865 became organist of All Souls Church, New York, till 1868 ; now organist of Grace Church there ; composer of church services, anthems, and songs. Monica, No. 91 U.P.H., is adapted from a tune named "Dana,'' composed by Warren, and published in ' The Church Hymn Book, with Tunes,' New York and Chicago, 1872. The adaptation was made by the Kev. Dr Andrew Henderson, Paisley. "Watson,2 James, born at Glasgow, June 10, 1816 ; received his education at the Grammar School there, under Dr Angus, and afterwards at the High School, under Dr Dymock ; removed to London in 1832, but returned to Scotland in 1838; about 1844 became joint editor, with Dr Horatius Bonar, of the weekly news- paper the ' Border Watch ' (now the ' Border Advertiser '), to advo- cate the spread of Free Church views ; in 1845 became a partner in the weU-known firm of James Nisbet & Co., publishers, London, and at Mr Nisbet's death, chief partner ; member of the London School Board from 1870 ; died in London, September 1, 1880, and buried in Highgate Cemetery. His tune HOLTBOOD, No. 84, 157 (Second Tune), 422 S.H., 134 and 346 F.C.H., and 267 U.P.H., was composed about 1865, and published anonymously in ' Psalms and Hymns for Divine Worship,' 1867. In the editing of this collection for the English Presbyterian Church he had a large share, and published the work at his own risk. Watts, Joseph.

His tune Olivet, No. 115 S.P., was first published in 'Original Hymn Tunes, Chants, Kyries, and Chant Services,' which he published in 1876. Weale, William (or Wheall), graduated Mus. Bac, at Cam- bridge in 1719. He was organist at St Paul's Church, Bedford, and probably received that appointment when the organ was erected by Gerard Schmidt in 1715. Weale's biographers, without excep- tion, give his year of death as 1745 ; but this is far wide of the correct date, which is here given as entered in the Burial Register of St Paul's, Bedford : "Sept. 4, 1727, Bury'd Mr WilUam Weale, Organist." In the list of Cambridge graduates the name is also given as Weale. Bedford, No. 36 S.P., 50 P. and P., 195 S.H., 143 U.P.P., 152 and 155 U.P.H., is generally considered to be Weale's composition. The Eev. W. H. Havergal states that the earliest dated publication in which he finds this tune is 'The Psalm Singer's Magazine,' 1729. This is thought to be an earlier edition of B. Smith's ' Harmonious Companion ; or, The Psalm Singer's Magazine,' published in 1732, where the tune appears set in four parts. Michael Broom, a singing-master at Isleworth, Middlesex, in the early part of last century, gives the tune » place in his 'Choice Collection of Psalm Tunes,' published about 1731, and it is there assigned to "W. Wale, organist of Bedford, B. of M.," as well as by local tradition. It was played hourly by the chimes of St Paul's, Bedford, from the middle of last century till the bells were talcen down recently for repair of the tower. A somewhat scarce work, entitled 'The Divine Musiok Scholar's Guide, . . . issued by one Francis Timbrell, for the use of his Scholars, and all such as delight in Church Musick,' contains " Bedford " set to the 84th Psalm, in three parts, with " Wm. Wheal " as composer. This work bears no date, but the British Museum authorities suggest 1715 as the year of publication. Mr F. G. Edwards of London has two copies of this work, and the following dates in MS. are scattered about the pages— 1725, 1733, 1734, and 173f. If the dates 1715 and 1725 are to be trusted, then " Bed- ford " was published at a much earlier period than has been generally sup- posed. In Matthew Wilkin's 'Book of Psalmody' {Hrca 1730) "Bedford" appears in triple time, and in two parts only, the melody as shown below : — PsAiM TE 84th, "Bedford Tune," two Voc.

Is followed in Broom's and Timbrell's work already mentioned, but in the 'Harmonious Companion ' it occurs only at the second and fourth lines. In John Wes- ley's ' Foundery Tunes,' 1742, the syncopations are entirely ahsent. Perhaps the first appearance of the tune in common time is in William Gardiner's ' Sacred Melodies ' (page 19), 1812, and he makes the following lame excuse for so altering it: "This fine old tune was written by Wm. Wheal, organist of Bedford. I have changed the key to D, and written it in common time, a measure that is more stately, and better accords with that solemn grandeur in which it is disposed to move." The nearest approach to the original forms in modem hooks may be found in the U.P. Collections. Comforth Gilson's Collection, published at Edinburgh in 1759, exhibits probably the first appearance of this tune in a Scotch collection. It is there named "New Grey Friers Tune." Webb, George James, was born in Kushmore Lodge, near Salisbury, Wiltshire, June 24, 1803. His father was a farmer, but a man of educated taste and ample means, and intended his son for the ministry; the latter, however, manifesting a strong preference for the musical profession, his wishes were yielded to, and music became his chosen calling ; studied under Alexander Lucas, pro- fessor of music in the School at Salisbury ; appointed organist of a church at Falmouth, an office he resigned in 1830, in which year he removed to Boston, U.S.A. ; organist of the Old South Church there for forty years ; appointed in 1833, with Dr Lowell Mason, professor of music in the Boston Academy of Music ; established in 1836 (also with Dr Mason) conventions for the instruction pf music - teachers ; elected president of the Boston Handel and Haydn Society in 1840 ; conductor for a time of the Mendelssohn Choral Society ; in 1870 removed from Boston to Orange, New Jersey, and in 1876 to New York, but returned to Orange, New Jersey, in 1885, and died there, October 7, 1887. In religion 296 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. Webb was a Swedenborgian, and performed an important work for that Churcb in arranging its musical service. He was also organist in the new churches both in Boston and New York. He edited, with Dr Mason and others, about twenty volumes of sacred and secular music, and a work entitled 'Voice Culture' with Cheater G. Allen, M.D. He will be best remembered by his tune Morning Light, No. 403 S.H., 215 F.C.H., -wMcli he composed on the ocean in 1830, and which was first published as a secular song in "The Odeon,' 1837, to the words " 'Tis dawn, the lark is singing." It was pub- lished as a hymn tune in ' The Wesleyan Psalmist ' in 1842. It is named "Goodwin " in ' Cantica Laudis,' by Mason & Webb, 1850. In America it is associated with the hymn " The morning light is breaking," hence its name. S.S., No. 58 U.P.H., "Bless the Lord, my soul," is adapted from his anthem, "Bless Jehovah, my soul," composed in 1859 and published in ' Cantica Ecclesiastica.'

No Psalmody of any importance issued in this country within the last sixty "WILSON. 303 years has failed to contain " Martyrdom" ; as early as 1829 it was included in. an Irish Psalmody, and for upwards of thirty years it has found a place in many German collections. All seem agreed as to its excellence as a congregational tune, but considerable diversity of opinion has existed among editors as to the composer. It has been described as being " partly borrowed from an old Covenanting melody," and the writer has even seen it assigned to Bavid Rizzio and Orlando Gibbons ! Had editors of tune-books taken trouble to inquire, they would have found that the composer was none other than a humble shoemaker named Hugh Wilson. As an ardent admirer of the tune, the writer was astonished to find that little was known of its history and the career of the composer. In several works he found, "Hugh Wilson, a weaver at Kilmarnock early in the present century," a scant notice indeed. Inquiries at Kilmarnock proved, too, that this information — first published in a Scotch Psalmody — was entirely wrong ; that Wilson's birthplace was a little village a few miles to the north-east — one that is rich in Covenanting legend — and his occupation that of shoe- maker. Further inquiries led to the discovery of some of his descendants, and these related that he spent his last days at the village of Duntocher. From a visit to the churchyard of Old Kilpatrick his age at death was ascertained, and a search of the Baptismal Eeoords of Fenwick discovered his year of birth and parents' names. Briefly told, the following is the result of the writer's investigations : Hugh Wilson was bom at Fenwick, Ayrshire, in 1764, and baptised December the 2d. He received his education at the village school, and afterwards learned the shoemaking trade with his father, John Wilson. In his spare moments he applied himself assiduously to the study of mathematics and kindred subjects. A favourite pastime of his was the making of sun-dials, and one constructed by him may still be seen at Fenwick. He occasionally led the psalmody in the Secession Church there, and was able to add to his income by teaching the villagers the ordinary branches of education and music. About the end of last century Wilson removed to PoUokshaws, where he made the acquaintance of Mr William Dunn, in whose mills at Duntocher he afterwards for several years held an important situation. He filled the ofiioe of a manager in the church there (now the United Presbyterian), and founded, with one James Slimmond, the first Sunday-school at Duntocher. On Saturday the 14th August 1824 Wilson died, and his remains were interred in the churchyard of Old Kilpatrick, where a plain stone marks the last resting-place of one who has left an abiding monument in the psalmody of our Church. Wilson composed many psalm-tunes, but only two of these seem to have been published — ^viz., " Martyrdom " and "Caroline," and the latter is not now in use. While on his deathbed, he caused his manuscript times and a few poems to be destroyed — a circumstance that is to be regretted, as there may well have been other work as excellent as "Martyrdom." This tune was composed by Wilson before he left Fenwick, from which village it took its first name ; and indeed, in the churches there, it was, until lately, still announced under that title. It was originally written in common time, and first published on single slips with the air and bass only, for the use of teachers in music classes, thus : — 304 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.

He gave the following facts, which had been told him repeatedly by his father : The tune " Martyr- dom " (or Fenwick as we always name it) became the private property of John Eobertson, a well-known music-teacher in Glasgow (see Robertson in Appendix). It was subsequently published, without permission, under the name of " Martyrdom " in a slightly altered form, the measure being changed from common to triple time, and described by the editor as "partly borrowed from an old Covenanting melody." Mr Fulton is of the opinion that R. A. Smith was the defender in the legal dispute that ensued. This "WILSON. 305 is very probable, as Smitb was the first to publish tbe tune in triple time in his ' Sacred Music, for use in St George's Church, Edinburgh,' 1825, and he there describes it as being partly borrowed from an old Covenanting melody. " This," says Mr Fulton, " was the contention of the defenders ; but it found no support in evidence, for two witnesses from Fenwick, named John and Robert Fulton, proved that Wilson composed the tune, and had taught it to his classes in Fenwick a quarter of a century before ' Martyrdom ' appeared." The most conclusive evidence was given by John Fulton, who had a share in writing the bass part. The Sheriff, according to Mr Fulton, decided that the copyright of the tune "Martyrdom" or "Fenwick" was Robertson's, and that Wilson was the composer. Further, Mr Thomas Macfarlane, a prominent musician in the West of Scotland early in this century (see Appendix), informs the writer that he remembers the legal dispute regarding the authorship of "Martyrdom," and that it was proved that a man named Wilson, a native of "Phinnick " (an old way of spelling Fenwick), was the composer. Wilson's grand- daughter, now in Canada, also states that she heard her mother say re- peatedly that her father was composer of the tune. It may be worthy of mention, that in 1847 a copy of the tune in Wilson's handwriting was given to a relation of his resident in Ayr. It was shown as a curiosity to all who visited the house, but about 1864 it disappeared mysteriously. Wilson,!

Handel said of him : " Mr Worgan shall sit by me, he plays my music very well at Vauxhall." Battishill considered him a finer player than even Handel himself. The Rev. Richard Cecil, an able amateur musician, at whose chapel Worgan played for some time, writes : " Admiration and feeling are very distinct from each other. Some music and oratory en- chant and astonish, but they speak not to the heart. I have been overwhelmed by Handel's music ; the ' Dettingen Te Deum ' is "WEIGHT. 309 perhaps the greatest composition in the world ; yet I never in my life heard Handel but I could think of something else at the same time. There is a kind of music that will not allow this. Dr Wor- gan has so touched the organ at St John's that I have been turning backward and forward over the Prayer-book for the first lesson in Isaiah, and wondered that I could not find Isaiah there : the musician and the orator fall short of the full power of their science, if the hearer is left in possession of himself."

Wriglit, Thomas, born at Stockton-on-Tees, September 18, 1763, was the son of Robert Wright, organist of that town, and early evinced great musical ability. When eleven years old he was assistant to Garth, organist of Sedgefield, on a powerful old organ said to have been built by Father Schmidt ; and after a year or two as pupil and assistant with Thomas Ebdon, organist of Durham Cathedral, young Wright was appointed to the organ at Sedgefield, an ofiice he held from 1785 until he succeeded his father ia 1797 as organist at Stockton. Wright was in extensive repute as a music-master in the counties of Durham and North Hiding of Yorkshire. He published an admirable ' Primer ' and ' Supplement ' for his pupils ; a concerto with accompaniments (in 1795), "in which was first suggested a mode of indicating the rate of each movement by a pendulu.m of thread measured on the keys of the piano — anticipating by many years the invention of the metronome ; " the music of an (unacted) operetta called " Eus- ticity," written by his wife, in 1800 ; a simple " Anthem," on occa- sions of peace, in 1802, and several songs. Besides being an ex- cellent musician, Wright excelled as an extempore player on the organ. He was expertly ingenious in mechanics, and skilled in astronomy and physical science. He resigned the organ at Stockton Church in 1818. During a professional engagement at Archdeacon Headlam's, Wright was seized with fatal illness, and died at the Eectory, Wycliffe, near Barnard Castle, November 24, 1829 ; buried at Norton, near Stockton. His tune Stockton, No. 230 S.H., 154 P. and P., 165 S.P. (originally named "Elizabeth"), was among others used in the church services at Stockton. About 1820 the name was changed from "Elizabeth" to "Stockton," but it still remained in MS. It was introduced into Wakefield Parish Church, where it became popular, and in 1861 was published for the first 310 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. ime in 'Hymns Ancient and Modern,' with the last strain of the melody slightly altered by Dr J.

It is there headed "Hymn for Morning Service," but has no special name. The following incident was related to the writer, by one who was present, regarding Robert "Wyvill (who is noticed below) and his father's tune " Baton " : " When the so-called revival (?) in church music was at its height, old-fashioned musicians were often snubbed and ridiculed. Mr Robert WYVILL — ZINGAEELLI. 311 Wyvill was then (and had been for many years) organist of St Mary's Chapel. At a choir practice one Sunday evening, when ' Eaton ' was being sung, a 'revivalist' — a chapel official — who had interfered on other occasions, told the venerable organist that he was playing the tune wrongly. I shall never forget how Mr Wyvill jumped off the stool, and said, ' What ! not know how to play my father's tune ! ' and left the organ. The next day he resigned his post, and St Mary's Chapel lost the services of a genuine musician— one who played even a simple tune from the Iieart, and made his hearers feel what he was playing." Wyvill, Robert, son of the preceding, was for many years organist of St Mary's Chapel, Maidenhead ; afterwards of the Episcopal Church there ; died August 1869, aged eighty years, having bec^ueathed a sum of money to a local charity.

During his residence at St Andrews, Mr Boyaek was much respected, and was presented with his portrait by the inhabitants, " in testimony of their opinion of the able manner in which he has for many years conducted the psalmody, and of their esteem for him as a citizen." He was one of a select choir organised by Mr Peacock of Perth to lead the psalmody at Crathie Church, during one of the early visits of her Majesty the Queen and Prince Albert to Bal- moral.

The work contains an original tune by Brown, and thirty- nine others, the majority of which are still in use. The earlier editions of ' The Precentor ' were edited by John McLachlan. See that name. Bruce, Thomas, schoolmaster, resided in the Cowgate, near the CoUege Wynd, Edinburgh. Published there in 1726 ' The Common Tunes ; or, Scotland's Church Musick made plain, with a Description of the Antiquity, Use, Authors and Inventers of Musick,' forty-two pages being taken up with "The Gam-ut, or Scale of Musick Explain'd." The work contains about thirty tunes, harmonised in three parts and taken from the Scottish Psalters. One is named "Bruce's Tenor," which is pre- sumably his own composition. There are also some curious verses, "for lettering the Common Tunes." It contains a dedication "To the Much Honoured Sir Thomas Bruce-Hope of Kinross and Craighall, Baronet." A second edition (no date) was afterwards published with slight changes in the contents. Bruce's work is one of the earliest collections' issued in Scotland after the Scottish Psalter. Campbell, John, son of Malcolm Campbell ; born at Paisley j an enthusiastic musical amateur and organist ; one of the first members of the Glasgow Choral Union ; merchant in Glasgow for many years ; died there October 1860, aged fifty -three years. Edited ' The Sacred Psaltery, in four Vocal Parts, consisting principally of Original Psalm and Hymn Tunes,' Glasgow (1854). The above contains about forty original tunes by Campbell, one of which is "Orlington," for many years the fixed tune in some parts of Scotland to Psalm 23. In the same work is his anthem, "Rejoice in the Lord," which was immensely popular with country choirs. 318 APPENDIX. Carnie, William, son of William Carnie ; born at Aberdeen, November 12, 1824 ; originally a letter engraver ; became a student of literature and music ; precentor of tbe Established CMirch, Bancbory-Devenick, Aberdeenshire, 1845 ; Inspector of Poor for same parish, 1847 ; sub-editor of the ' Aberdeen Herald,' 1852 ; precentor of the West or High Church, Aberdeen, from January 1856 to December 1871 ; since 1861 clerk and treasurer to the Managers of Aberdeen Royal Infirmary and the Lunatic Asylum ; minor poet and dramatic and musical critic. Mr Camie's labours (says a writer) have done everything to promote good psalmody in the North of Scotland. In 1854, at the request of the local Young Men's Christian Association, he delivered a lecture on Psalmody to an audience numbering over 2000 persons. This lecture was illustrated by the Harmonic Choir in a style which awakened great local interest in regard to the ' Service of Sacred Song.' Indeed, to this meeting may be ascribed the great desire for psalmody improvement which arose over the whole of the north-eastern districts of Scotland. Continuing his efforts to raise the standard of congregational singing, Mr Camie's name became widely known. His ' Northern Psalter' (a work not yet surpassed) has attained immense popularity all over Scotland and amongst all Presbyterian denominations, and at the present time upwards of 60,000 copies of his psalmodio works have been published. Chalmers, James, printer of the ' Aberdeen Journal' and other works ; died at Aberdeen, 1764. St Path,, No. 142 P. and P., 61 U.P.P., 130 U.P.H., 85 P.C.H., 150 S.P., is stated on page 84 (under Bremner) to have teen in nse in Aberdeen in 1755, if not earlier. Since that part of the "book was passed for press, a small col- lection of church tunes issued hy Chalmers has come into the writer's posses- sion. The title is unfortunately wanting, but the boolc contains a dedication to the provost, "bailies, and town council, which enables us to fix almost the exact year of publication. Tlrrough the liindness of Mr Carnie of Aberdeen, the Records of the town council of that city have been searched, and they show that the provost and bailies to whom the worlc is dedicated were to- gether in office only in the years 1748 and 1749. Chalmers's boo]£ must then have been issued in one of these years. The work contains " St Paul " in two parts, air and bass, and is set to Psalm 65, verses 3 and 4. This shows the tune to be several years older than has been supposed. Chalmers's book is made up of tunes principally from the psalters of Este, Eavenscroft, and those issued by Andrew Hart and others. It contains a corrupt version of " Newtoun " or "London New," which was in use in some parts of Aberdeen in the middle of this century.

Issued by Authority of the Committee on Psalmody,' Edinburgh, 1845. This Collection contains ninety tunes, and is an excellent one in many respects. The Preface says : "There are two characteristics of the present publication which will, it is trusted, render it a means of pro- moting this desirable end of unity in singing in the Free Church. In the first place, it discards all theatrical and jig-like, and almost all repeating tunes, which, if admissible in secular meetings, are justly deemed out of place in the house of God ; and it limits itself very much to that more solid and simple class, of which the established tunes of Scotland are the type and specimen. And in the second place, its harmonies are constructed on a plain and simple principle, not requiring the foreign aid of instruments or of a trained band, but adapted to the easy use of the mass of the people them- 322 APPENDIX. Professor Taylor of Gresliam College, and James Turle, organist of West- minster Abtey, warmly praised the work. It was also published for general use under the title of ' The National Psalmody, with a Practical Guide to Psalm-Singing,' by T. L. Hately. II. ' Scottish Psalmody ; Being a Selection of Tunes with the prevailing Harmonies used throughout Scotland, with Elementary Lessons for Beginners, and a Table of Appropriate Tunes for all the Psalms. Issued by the Educa- tion Committee of the Free Church of Scotland' (1854). Contains sixty- seven tunes. No. 1 being "Arnold's," and No. 67, " Old 148th." Another edition (1855) contains fifty-six additional tunes. No. 68 being "Abbey," and No. 123 "St John." An enlarged edition (1858) contains twenty-eight additional tunes. No. 124 being "Bishopthorpe," and No. 151 "Goldel." A supplement to the above (1866) contains thirty-two additional tunes. No. 152 being "Antwerp," and 183 "Zurich." This work was used in the Presbyterian Churches of Scotland for a con- siderable time, and it is questionable if the singing in our churches was ever heartier than during the time it was employed. At all events, one had the assurance on entering a strange church that no discord or confusion would take place through the use of different tune-books. III. A revised edition of the above was published in 1873, the harmonies by Mr Colin Brown. To this was added the same year ' A Collection of Hymn Tunes, the har- monies by Mr D. Cunninghame, assisted by Mr John Ireland.' These were afterwards combined in a cut-leaved book entitled ' The Book of Psalms in Metre ; And the New Selection of Paraphrases and Hymns Authorised for Use in Public Worship by the General Assembly of the Free Church of Scot- land, with Accompanying Tunes,' 1873. Here we find many German tunes, published in this country for the first time, and an interesting feature of the work are the notes on some of the less known Continental composers, which have been of service to the writer in the compilation of this work.

GILSON — GEAY. 323 Qilson, Cornforth., born in England ; chorister in Durham Cathedral, but how long the records do not show; appointed by the Edinburgh Town Council in 1756 master of music in the city- churches, in which year a praiseworthy movement was begun to improve psalmody in Edinburgh ; elected music-master at Heriot's Hospital, January 14, 1757 ; resigned the office of master of church music, April 1764, having resolved to settle in London ; reap- pointed August 21, 1771, but how long he held the office is uncer- tain. He was resident in Edinburgh in 1774, if not later. Some facts regarding Gilson's efforts to improve the psalmody in the Edinburgh churches will be found in an article by the writer pub- lished in the ' Scotsman ' of May 31, 1890. Edited ' Lessons on the Practice of Singing, with an Addition of the Church Tunes, in Four Parts, and a Collection of Hymns, Canons, Airs, and Catches, for the improvement of Beginners,' Edinburgh, 1759.

Girvin seems to have settled at Port-Glasgow as schoolmaster in 1762, succeeding one John McEwen, who removed to Greenock. Edited 'A New Collection of Church Tunes,' Glasgow, 1761. No copy of this work seems to be known. From an advertisement in the 'Glasgow Journal,' it is stated to contain thirty-eight tunes in all, thirty in four parts and eight in three parts. 'The Vocal Musician. Part I. Wherein the grounds of music are dis- tinctly handled,' Edinburgh, 1763. This work is dedicated to George Murdoch, Esq., late Provost, and the ministers of the City of Glasgow, . . . with no other view than to express in public a sense of their favours and regard on several occasions shown to their most humble and most obedient servant, John Girvin. The preface is dated Port-Glasgow, September 1763. In 1761 Girvin issued, in conjunction with one Collet, ' Proposals for print- ing by subscription, Vocal Music, Moral and Divine, in three books.'

Hume, Alexander, son of William Hume and Elizabeth Rob- ertson ; born at St John's Hill, Edinburgh, February 7,^ 1811 ; engaged in business and teaching in Edinburgh and Glasgow ; died at Glasgow, February 4, 1859. Composer of church music, glees, duets, songs, &c. ; minor poet. Edited 'British Psalmody; A Collection of Pour Hundred and Thirty -Seven Psalm and Hymn Tunes.' . . . Edinburgh (1844). This contains many tunes by Hume, none of which have obtained popularity. In the compila- tion of this work Hume was assisted by Thomas Clark and Benjamin F. Flint, both of Canterbury. The above W£is also published in two volumes as 'The Psalm Tune Book' and 'The Hymn Tune Book.' Hume also edited 'Anthems and Sacred Songs, containing Fifty -four Pieces selected from 1 Not the 17th, as stated by all his biographers. HUME — HUNTER. 325 the most Popular Composers, together with several Original Compositions.' His name will not readily be forgotten as a ■ composer, for his setting of " Afton Water " by Burns has become indelibly associated with these words. Hume, William, son of the preceding ; born at Edinburgh, Sep- tember 25, 1830 ; now teacher of music at Glasgow; musical critic of the ' Bailie,' Glasgow, for several years ; correspondent of Lon- don musical journals ; composer of the cantatas " Bartimeus," " The Call to Battle," and Psalm 67, for treble voices ; also many excel- lent glees and arrangements of popular airs. Edited ' Psalm and Hymn Tunes,' with supplement of Anthems ; ' Union Sacred Tune Book,' and other works. Hunter, Th.om.as Munro, a native of Alloa ; born 1820 ; studied under Finlay Dun in Edinburgh, also under Eomer in London ; appointed precentor of Momingside Church, Edinburgh, about 1837, and in 1843 to a similar position in Greenside Church, resigning in 1845 on being chosen leader of psalmody in Rose Street U.P. Church (afterwards Palmerston Place U.P. Church), an office he held till his retirement in 1883. For a long period he held a prominent position as a teacher of singing in Edinburgh, and in this capacity he acted in very many of the schools and institutions of the city, including George Watson's Hospital (from 1848) ; Heriot's Hospital outdoor schools (from 1847) ; Donaldson's Hos- pital (from 1857) ; Heriot's Hospital (from 1860). When the Mer- chant Company's schools were opened, he acted as singing-master in George Watson's College, and in James Gillespie's school. He was also a Fellow of the Educational Institute of Scotland. Hunter rendered good service in connection with the Society for the Eevival of Sacred Music in Scotland. This Society, which was instituted as early as 1842 under Dr Mainzer, seems to have been in abey- ance for some time, but was revived under the presidency of Lord Murray, and Hunter held the appointment of musical director as late as 1862. He was a man of untiring industry, and his stalwart figure was a familiar one in Edinburgh for nearly half a century. Although he had retired from active duty, his death on July 16, 1886, was unexpected, being the result of a carriage accident. He compiled in 1858, for use of the Eose Street congregation, 'A Supplement to E. A. Smith's Sacred Harmony, consisting of Dox- ologies, Anthems, Tunes, &c.' It contained upwards of sixty numbers, in- cluding several of his own composition. This Supplement was afterwards extended at different times by additional supplements of anthems, hymn tunes, &c., until it reached over two hundred numbers. In 1868 he pre- 326 APPENDIX. pared for the nse of Queen Street (now Eyre Place) U.P. Church a Psalmody containing abont one hundred tunes. These collections were printed and lithographed for private use, and with the exception of the one dated 1858, were not published. Hunter was author of 'The Elements of Vocal Music,' also taany collec- tions of songs for jtmior and senior classes, which had an extensive cir- culation. Hiitcheson, Charles, bom 1792 ; amateur musician and com- poser ; merchant in Glasgow ; died 1856. Published ' Christian Vespers,' Glasgow, 1832, containing hymn tunes harmonised in three and four parts, and an introductory essay on church music. His once' popular tune " Stracathro," associated with the hymn " for a closer walk with God," appears in the above collection, but from some unexplained cause has not found a place in the works now in use. Hymn Music. See page 177. Jamieson, Robert Dickson, bom at Glasgow, September 6, 1834 ; appoiated leader of Psalmody in Free St Stephen's Church, Glasgow, 1854, a position he resigned iu 1890; minor poet; secre- tary of the West of Scotland Branch of the Tonic Sol-fa College. Edited in 1871, 'Twenty (original) Psalm and Hymn Tunes,' one of which, "Ardeu," will be found in the ' The Scottish Hymnal,' 1872. Also ' The Children's Tribute of Praise,' 1879, a work of more than ordinary merit, for Sunday-schools. Johnson, James, a native of Ettrick ; music-seller and en- graver in Edinburgh ; flourished at the end of last and beginning of the present century ; said to have been the first who attempted to strike music upon pewter plates ; died at Edinburgh, February 26, 1811. Edited ' The Complete Repository of Psalm and Hymn Tunes, adapted to all the various Metres used in the principal Churches, Chapels, and Dissenting Congregations in Scotland.' Part First contains about 116 tunes and several anthems ; Part Second about 131 tunes. It was published about the begin- ning of the present century. He will best be remembered by his ' Scots Musical Museum,' a work to which the poet Bums contributed some of his finest songs. It was issued in six volumes, the melodies being arranged by Stephen Clarke, a native of Durham, who came to Edinburgh in 1764 to compete for the vacant ofSce of Master of Church Music, and though unsuc- cessful, settled in the capital, and became organist of the Episcopal Chapel in the Cowgate. Clarke died in 1797, before Johnson's work was finished, but William Clarke, his son, was intrusted with its completion. KenT^ard, "William Daniel, born in the Cliflf, Lewes, Sussex, KNOTT — LITHGOW. 327 March 21, 1797; educated at tlie Grammar School there ; on the advice of Thomas Greatorex he became a pupil of the Ashleys ; chorister in York and Durham Cathedrals successively ; chorister at the York Musical Festival, 1823 ; appointed precentor of the West Church, Aberdeen, in succession to John Knott, 1824 ; re- signed 1828, on being appointed to a similar position in the High Church, Edinburgh ; singing - master at Heriot's Hospital from 1837, and conductor of the Edinburgh Harmonists' Society from 1829 till he died, May 1, 1860. Edited four books of psalmody, entitled — 'Sacred Harmony,' 1839 ; ' Sacred Harmony,' circa 18i8 ; 'The Psalmody of Scotland,' 1865, and 'The Scottish Psalm and Tune Book,' 1855. These works contain a numher of tunes hy Kenward, none of which have gained a place in the collections now in use, although one of them, " Lewes," was for a time popular, and is worthy of a place in any Hymnal. Knott, Jolin, probably born at Seven Oaks, Kent, where his father was a Baptist minister ; said also to have been a chorister in Durham Cathedral ; appointed precentor in the West Church, Aberdeen, and public teacher of vocal music in that city in 1811 ; resigned 1824, on being elected precentor of the New North Church, Edinburgh ; music - master at Heriot's Hospital from 1827 till he died in 1837.

Ifeil, D.D., was Free Church minister of Stair, Ayrshire, from 1844 till 1886, when he retired to reside in Ayr. He was one of the small committee of the Chvirch which brought out the ' Scottish Psalmody ' (see Free Church Collections). This committee adopted various means to promote ia congrega- tional worship the singing of simple and tasteful tunes in parts. They issued a monthly periodical, which was continued for a year, and gave public lectures to congregations. In this work Dr Livingston took a large share. The Reprint of 'The Scottish Metrical Psalter of a.d. 1635,' with copious Dissertations and Notes, published in 1864 through the munificence of the late WUliam Euing of Glasgow, remains as a monument of Dr Livingston's industry and research. It may be considered as the ground on which the University of Glasgow conferred on him the degree of D.D. McDonald's, Alexander, Collection. See page 209. Macfarlane, John Raid, son of Duncan Macfarlane, a member of the Ayrshire Militia Band ; bom 1800 ; appointed precentor of Outer High Church (now St Paul's), Glasgow, March 1824 ; re- signed December 1828 ; settled in London as composer and teacher for some years ; died at Middlesex Hospital, June 10, 1841. Re- vised the harmonies of ' Harmonia Sacra ; A Selection of Sacred Music, Ancient and Modem, in Four Parts,' Glasgow, about 1835. Two of Macfarlane's tunes enjoyed for a time considerable popularity — ^viz., "Merksworth" and " Laigh Common," but they belong to a class of tunes now obsolete. Macfarlane, Thomas, brother of the preceding ; bom at Hors- ham, Sussex, 1808 ; baptised November 11 ; pupU of the late Andrew Thomson of Glasgow, afterwards of J. B. Cramer, Henry Herz, Bergotti, and Garcia ; in January 1827 appointed organist of the Old Episcopal Chapel, Glasgow ; afterwards of St Mary's Epis- copal Church (then in Eenfleld Street), resigned January 28, 1834 ; next of St Jude's, Glasgow ; precentor of Park Church from 1859 MACHEAY — McLACHLAN. 329 to 1866 ; harmoniumist in Camden Eoad Presbyterian Church, London, from 1871 till 1882 ; conductor of Camden Koad Choral Society for a few years ; retired from all professional duties in 1882 ; editor of several collections of psalmody ; composer of songs, pianoforte music, anthems, and psalm and hymn tunes.

In the compilation of this work McLachlan was assisted by one Finlay, doubtless the Rev. Dr Robert Finlay, who was minister of the North West Church when McLachlan was precentor. The majority of the tunes in 'The Precentor' are still in use. 1 In some works this honour is wrongly bestowed on J. R. Macfarlane. 330 APPENDIX.

The year of publication was 1863. 19'icol, James, Aberdeen, printed in 1714 'Twelve Tunes for the Church of Scotland.' This collection the writer has not seen, but it was doubtless formed by a selection of tunes from the Scottish Psalters. 19'icolson, Ludoviek, a weaver to trade ; born at Paisley about 1770 ; amateur musician and composer of psalmody ; an intimate associate of Eobert Tannahill and E. A. Smith ; died at Paisley, 332 APPENDIX. August 3, 1852, and buried in the West Relief churchyard. Pub- lished in 1852 'A Collection of Psalm and Hymn Tunes in foiir parts, adapted to various Metres, and may he used in the principal Cliurches, Chapels, and Dissenting Congregations in Scotland.' His tune "Paisley" was for many years much used, and is quite worthy of a place in any collection. It was composed, on returning home from the funeral of his wife, to Paraphrase liii., verse 8 : — " A few short years of evil past, We reach the happy shore. Where death -divided friends at last Shall meet, to part no more." " Low Church," also popular for a time, he composed for R. A. Smith's 'Devotional Music,' Paisley (1810).

This has thirteen original tunes, which were " the private property of Robertson," notably Hugh Wilson's "Martyrdom," bearing the name "Fenwick" as well, and another by Wilson, although anonynoious — viz., " Caroline," asso- ciated with the hymn " Our life contains a thousand springs." Later editions of this were issued by John Robertson, Jun.

I Shaiw, 'William Maxwell, probably a native of Aberdeen ; pupil of Urbani ; precentor for a time of the High Church, Inver- ness ; afterwards resident in Dingwall ; appointed by the magis- trates of Aberdeen, December 1797, precentor bf the West Church, and teacher of vocal music in that city ; resigned in 1805, and re- moved to Boston, U.S., where he died in July of that year. " His manner of singing the psalms was characterised by a fine simplicity, blended with sparing ornament ; and his taste was so much admired that the congregation accompanied him very softly, that they might be able to hear his beautifully round and manly voice, which appeared to fill the church without any exertion or disagreeable loudness." Shaw was a frequent performer at the high-class concerts given in Edinburgh at the close of last century. Edited 334 APPENDIX.

There is also one by John Eoss of Aberdeen, and one by Stephen Clarke of Edinburgh. Sievewright, Joh.n, a well-known teacher of psalmody in the north of Scotland, was settled in Old Meldrum, Aberdeenshire, at the beginning of the present century, and probably earlier. He succeeded John Barbour as precentor in the Parish Church there, and held the office till 1835, when he retired, the kirk-session granting him an allowance of £3 yearly. Sievewright possessed a good knowledge of music, and had a fair compass of voice ; hut he was afflicted with an impediment in his speech, which was not in his favour. During the years he held office as precentor, he never attempted to train a choir, but always had a few good singers to assist him in leading the congregation, and had them placed in front of him in the first seat of the gallery, and some still live who remember him calling out to them the names of the tunes to be sung for the day. Sievewright died at Old Meldrum about 1846. Two of his sons, John and James — the former a teacher and the latter a doctor — emigrated to Upper Canada. Sievewright's sole occupation seems to have been the teaching of psalmody. He had an old white pony on which he used to ride about through the counties of Aberdeen, Banff, and Kincardine, to meet his classes. His connection with the latter county began, it seems, in 1794, as may be gleaned from the following verse, which formed part of a " skit " written about the beginning of the present century : — " In t' year o' 1794, When Hielant John the hills came o'er, He taught them a' to gape and glower, And sing the tunes in Fordoun." The second verse refers to an incident which took place one Sun- day when the precentor was absent, and one after another of Sievewright's pupils mounted the lettern to fill his place, but not one of them could sing correctly a single psalm-tune : — " Up startit then the bricht Dunbar, Instead o' better he did waur, An' a' the singin' he did maur, An' lost the lines in Fordoun." SMITH — SMYTH. 335 It seems probable that Sievewright was resident in Fordoun at one time, as on the title-page of the work mentioned below he styles himseK " Teacher of Music, Fordoun." One who knew him states that he was "a canty weel-faured man, who wore a black coat somewhat browned with age." He published ' A Colleotion of Church Tunes and Anthems in three parts ; with a few Duets, Catches, Glees, &c. , selected from the hest authors. A New Edition, Enlarged : ' no date. The work contains about sixty tunes, and is now very scarce. Smith's, B. A., Collections. See page 261. Smith, William, son of the Rev. Dr Alexander Smith, minister of the Chapel of Garioch ; born at Gariooh, December 6, 1803 ; educated at the Grammar School, Aberdeen, for many years ; a merchant in that city ; amateur musician and composer of psalmody ; died at Newtyle, near Dundee, August 31, 1878. Edited 'The People's Tune Book,' Aberdeen, 1844. "Whatever" (says Mr WiUiam Camie of Aberdeen) "southern or western critics may claim or say — whatever finical fault-finders amongst ourselves may pretend — there is un- challengeable proof that ' The People's Tune Book ' contained the best lesson our modem psalmodists and precentors ever got as to what is noble, pure, and beautiful in Scottish congregational music." Smyth, William Hugh, born in the parish of Ballyeaston, Co. Antrim, 20th March 1836 ; first studied under the organist of St Nicholas Church, Carrickfergus, and later under several masters in Glasgow ; gained the first prize at the Society of Arts examinations in harmony and counterpoint in 1861, and in 1862 was appointed organist of St John's Episcopal Church, Glasgow; in 1864 appointed to Sandyford Parish Church, Glasgow, which appointment he held till 1877, when other more important avocations obliged him to relinquish the duties of organist. Edited in conjunction with Dr E. J. Hopkins (see that name) ' The Choral Psalter, Containing The Authorised Version Of The Psalms, And Other Portions of Scripture, Pointed for Chanting, With A Selection of Chants,' 1869. Besides containing the standard chants by composers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, this work contains original compositions by Sir George J. Elvey, Dr Stephen Elvey, Henry Smart, Sir H. S. Oakeley, Mus. Doc, and A. L. Peace, Mus. Doc. It is said to be the first appearance of the Bible translation of the Psalms in a complete form pointed for chanting. 336 APPENDIX. Steven, James, "music-seller in tte New Town," Glasgow, early in the present century, and leader of psalmody at the University Hall ; said also to have held a similar position for a time in the Tron Church, but of this there is no record; died before 1833. Published in 1801, ' First Collection of Psalm and Hymn Tunes, in four vocal parts.' Five volumes of this work were issued, the sixth being published in 1833, and edited by John Tumbull. He also edited 'Harmonia Sacra.' Steven's Col- lections are now of little value. Surenne, John Thomas, a pupil of Henri Herz, was born in London, March 4, 1816. His father, Gabriel Surenne, a French- man, was a musician of ability, and is said to have been a good performer on the violin, viola, double bass, bassoon, and guitar. He removed to Edinburgh in 1817, in which city he is still re- membered as being the author of a French-English Dictionary and other works. In 1831 young Surenne was appointed organist of St Mark's Episcopal Chapel, Portobello, a post he held till about 1842, and two years later organist of St George's Episcopal Chapel, Edin- burgh, resigning many years after on account of overwork. He died at Edinburgh, February 3, 1878. His compositions include several songs ; an Overture in D, dedicated to the Leith Phil- harmonic Society ; " Rondo de Concert," with accompaniments for two violins, viola, and 'cello, dedicated to J. M. Milller ; " La iReconnaissance, Divertimento," dedicated to J. M. Wood ; and many others. He will be best remembered by 'The Song and Dance Music of Scotland,' which he edited; also 'The Songs of Ireland.' In 1843 he edited, in conjunction with Henry E. Dibdin, 'A Collection of Church Music, consisting of Chants, Psalm and Hymn Tunes, principally original ; arranged for four voices, with an accompani- ment for the Organ or Pianoforte,' a supplement appearing in 1844.
