PREFACE, 
 
 This work (to be completed in six parts) is the outcome of an attempt to bring together 
 a list of all the Music and Musical Works printed, or otherwise produced in the British Isles 
 before the year 1800. It contains in chronological order— 
 
 (a) Titles of pieces of Music, printed separately or in collections, with, whenever 
 possible, the names and addresses of printers and publishers. 
 
 (h) Titles and Treatises on Music— instrumental, theoretical, practical, and 
 polemical. 
 
 (c) Titles of pieces of Music, composed and performed, but not printed, and of 
 
 pieces of Music composed, but neither printed nor performed. 
 
 (d) Titles of Dramas, Masques, Interludes, Pantomimes, etc., in which Music was 
 
 more or less an essential element. 
 
 (e) Titles of historical and critical Works on the Drama, more or less illustrative 
 
 of the progi'ess of Music in England. 
 
 To these are added an Essay upon and a Catalogue of English Music dating from the 
 fifteenth century or earlier ; and a Cross-Eeference Catalogue with compressed titles of all 
 the Works set down in the chronological Catalogue, under the respective composers' names. 
 
 The aim of the author has been to present an exposition of the progress in England of 
 scientific and practical nrasic. ■ Neither completeness, nor perfection as regards freedom from 
 error, can be claimed for what is offered ; but as far as possible the titles of the works are 
 given in full, while preciseness as regards dates has not been assumed without reason for the 
 assumption. Consequently, a large number of works are named as belonging to periods 
 (circa). Bias towards and liking for any special style of musical art have been carefully 
 avoided ; and little and unimportant productions are placed by the side of the greater 
 and moi'e important. When criticism is offered, it is the criticism of an authority, and 
 generally the criticism of a contemporary judge. The details of the work have been gathered 
 from the Bibliographies of Lowndes, Watt, Clavel, Dibdin, Beloe, Lichtenthal, and others ; 
 from the Histories of Burney, Hawkins, Busby, and later historians ; from old periodical 
 literature and eighteenth century [magazines, newspapers, and reviews, from the printed 
 and manuscript catalogues of the British Museum and other famous institutions, and from 
 trustworthy English and foreign Dictionaries and Encyclopaedias. The author's possession 
 
 iP 
 
of a somewhat large collection of old Music and Musical "Works has facilitated the 
 acquirement of accuracy, and the assistance of many friends— professional musicians and 
 interested amateurs— has lightened the labour of searching, and at the same time has given 
 confidence to the author. Unfortunately, there are few existing records of the publication 
 of ancient music. The publishers of former times, like those of later times, persistently 
 neglected dating the works issued, thus giving a musical bibliographer trouble not 
 attendant upon researches in other branches of art and literature. The advertisements 
 found on the works issued by the Playfords, the Walshes, and by Bremner, supply 
 scarcely any information about dates of publication, while the numbering by publishers of 
 series of Symphonies, Sonatas, etc., is altogether unreliable, as is also the attachment of 
 opus numbers to such series. It is no unusual thing to find two or three opus numbers 
 given to the same piece, and it is generally impossible to say whether a serial or an opus 
 number has been supplied by the composer or by the publisher. For these and other 
 reasons, many statements in this work must be received with caution. By bringing light to 
 shine upon what is obsciue, new and more complete knowledge will be certainly gained. 
 The history of music has been very imperfectly written : every acquisition of truthfulness 
 is, therefore, an advance towards more satisfactory completeness. 
 
 During his work as compiler, the author has received valuable assistance from many 
 kind and enthusiastic friends. To Mr. Norris Croker, of London, he is indebted for 
 information obtained by very extensive researches in the British Museum ; to Mr. J. E. 
 Matthew, of London, for revision of manuscripts and corrections based upon the contributor's 
 large and comprehensive library of music and musical literature ; to Mr. T. W. Taphouse, 
 of Oxford, for exhaustive details relating to the Playford seventeenth century Song-Books, 
 etc., to Dr. J. H. Mee, for comments upon the most ancient British music ; to Mr. Oliver 
 Baker, artist, for numerous contributions concerning musical archaeology, etc. ; to Mr. H. 
 Thompson, of Leeds, for particulars relating to old musical educational and other works ; 
 and to a host of personal friends who have constantly given encouragement and help. 
 
EARLY ENGLISH MUSIC AND MUSICAL WORKS 
 PRESERVED IN MANUSCRIPT. 
 
 Pleaders for the English as a musical people speak triumphantly of the existence of a 
 rota, ' ' Sumer is icunien in. " The age and authorship of this antique example have been 
 much discussed, but it is sufficient for all but the most curious to know that it is a British 
 production, dating, may be, from the first half of the thirteenth century. It would, 
 however, be wrong to base the musical reputation of England upon one giand example. 
 Late writers have established the fact that before the supposed date of " Sumer is icumen 
 in, " there were music schools in England from which came forth a goodly army of composers, 
 whose works exhibit as much excellence as the works of the continental masters of the same 
 times. Dr. J. H. Mee, in a paper read at the Musical Association in 1888, proved that 
 contrapuntal diaphony was practised in England at a very early date, and that the writing 
 of parts in score was in vogue in this country before it was adopted elsewhere. Dr. Mee 
 further showed that the harmonization of church melodies by means of faux-bourden was 
 used in England much in the same way as on the Continent, and that to England may be 
 awarded the honour of preserving ancient plain-song in its purest form. In pursuance of 
 his subject Dr. Mee maintained that the Elizabethan musicians (so frequently referred to as 
 the originators of the grandest style of English music) were preceded by a great and learned 
 school, the outcome of a long line of theorists and composers who started from the very 
 earliest time. Amongst the theorists were John Cotton, John Garland, "Walter Odington, 
 Robert Handlow, John de Muris, Simon Tunstede, John Hamboys, John Wylde, 
 
 Chilston, and Lyonel Power. Of the composers whose works have remained almost 
 
 solely in manuscript, the most notable was John Dunstable, to whom both English and 
 continental historians have been persistent in giving the highest honour ; altliough until 
 very recently little was actually known about his work. He died in 1453, famous as an 
 astronomer and a mathematician as well as a musician. For more than four years after his 
 death a few fragments of Dunstable's music made up all that the English student could 
 refer to. These were an enigma in a manuscript collection of Treatises on Music transcribed 
 by John Tuck at the beginning of the sixteenth century, and a three-part composition in a 
 book which at one time belonged to Henry VIII. Some ambiguous statements in Tinctor's 
 ProportionaU Musices led to the assertion that Dunstable was the inventor of polyphony ; 
 but the absurdity of this assertion is apparent to all who know little only about the music 
 of the twelfth and following centuries. Another frequently repeated and equally false 
 statement is that Dunstable was a disciple of the Netherlandish musicians, Egidius Binchois 
 and Guillaume Dufay. Dates of the deaths of the Englishman and of the Lo w Countij Masters 
 may be accepted as proofs that they were contemporaries not scholars nor disciples. Dunstable 
 died in 1453, Binchois in 1460, and Dufay in 1474. For most of what is-knowu and Worth 
 knowing about John Dunstable the musical student of the present generation is indebted to 
 Mr. "WUliam Barclay Squire, of the British Museum. Availing himself of information 
 supplied by Dr. Haberl, of Ratisbon. concerning the existence at Trent of some volumes of 
 music wi'itten towards the end of the fifteenth century, containing compositions by early 
 English musicians, Mr. Squire, in 1889, went to the Austrian Tyrol, and obtained leave to 
 copy what he liked from the volumes in question, but only under the annoying proviso that 
 
6 Outlines of Musical Bibliography. 
 
 the copies should not be made public in any form whatever. He had succeeded in copying 
 fourteen motets and a chanson by Dunstable, when the Trent authorities got wind of the 
 marketable value of the old music, and tried to sell their manuscripts to the Royal Library 
 at Berlin Then the Austrian government interposed, claiming^ the pieces as works of 
 national interest, the ultimate result being that they were placed in the Imperial Library 
 at Vienna. The Austrian government continued the restrictions instituted at Trent as 
 regarded publication, at the same time announcing an intention of publishing a selection 
 from the music. Fortunately, Mr. Squire subsequently found at Modena a volume of 
 manuscript music, in which are thirty-one motets by Dunstable, and, by the courtesy of the 
 Directors of the Library, he was enabled to make copies of all of them. These, along with 
 transcripts of four motets, versions of some of the Trent motets, are now in the British 
 Museum, "supplying suifioient material," Mr. Squire said in a letter to the Times 
 newspaper, "when the t;-oublesome task of translating them into modern notation has 
 been accomplished, for forming a definite estimate of the position which Dunstable should 
 occupy in the history of music, and of his relation to Dufay and the great Netherlandish 
 school of which he was the precursor. " 
 
 In 1450, that is three years before Dunstable died, William Cornyshe the elder was 
 born In the British Museum there are manuscript copies of songs for two, three, and four 
 voices, by him, as well as a "Salve Kegina " and a setting for four voices of Skel ton's 
 "Wofully afraid.". In 1602 Cornyshe received from Elizabeth, Queen of Henry VII., 
 13e. 4d. for " Setting of a carrolle for Christmas-day." All that is known concerning him 
 shows that he was held in royal esteem. In 1509 he succeeded William Newark as 
 Master of the Children of the Chapel-Royal under Henry VIII. ; and in 1520 he went with 
 his royal master to the Field of the Cloth of Gold, and devised the pageants displayed at 
 the banquets. 
 
 Writers on music and composers, predecessors or contemporaries of Cornyshe, whose 
 works are in existence in manuscript only, were John Absolon ; M. Allwood ; Hugh Aston ; 
 
 Gilbert Banaster ; William Chelle ; Chilston ; John Cole ; William Cornyshe, Jun. ; 
 
 John Cotton ; Richard Cutell ; S. Dunstan ; John Dygon ; Thomas Dyson ; Robert Fayrfax 
 (remembered as the original possessor of the collection of part-songs known as the Fayrfax 
 Manuscript ;) Thomas Farthing ; John Floyd ; Walter Haliday ; John Hanboys, (or 
 Hamboys ;) Robert Handle ; Howel Dha, (a Welsh ruler, who drew up the Welsh Laws of 
 
 the Bards ;) John , (a ninth century monk of St David's ;) Thomas MuUiner ; John 
 
 de Muris ; Walter Odington, (a monk of Evesham ;) Henry Pliilp '. Lyonel Power ; John 
 Redwood ; Thomas Saintwix ; Nicholas Stapylton ; jElred Theinred ; John Torksey ; John 
 
 Tuck ; Simon Tunstede ; Walshingham ; Wulfstan, (a monk ;) Robert Wydewe, (a 
 
 fifteenth century ecclesiastic, poet, and musician ;) and John Wylde, (Precentor of Waltham 
 Abbey. ) 
 
 The following list exhibits some of the works- of tliese masters still extant in manuscript, 
 but never printed in England. The order is as strictly chronological as was found possible. 
 The practical works are less in number than the theoretical. Several reasons for this 
 condition of things might be given. Secular music had, before the sixteenth century, 
 scarcely any existence, and the early music composed for Church Services was to a great 
 extent destroyed when the religious houses were suppressed by Henry VIII. , again suffering 
 destruction during the Puritan times. The theoretical tracts on music found security in 
 the great schools and in the libraries of great commoners, and from thence passed into 
 institutions like the British Museum and the Bodleian Library. It may, however, he 
 taken for granted that the works (both practical and theoretical) still extant form but a 
 small number of those produced in England before the ai't of printing was known in the 
 country. A thoroughly comprehensive examination of the great libraries in England and 
 in continental cities would, it may be hoped and exjjected, bring to light numbers of small 
 works unknown to the present generation— pieces of music for the church, secular songs, 
 dance tunes, and examples written for instruments. Some day, perhaps, an enthusiastic 
 bibliophile will undertake and bring to a successful issue the good work of searching and 
 recording. For the short-comings and errors of the present effort apology is scarcely needed. 
 The author's after-comers will do well by adding to and correcting.

 BEDE, C. (VENERABLE). 
 
 De Musica Theorica, et Practica MenSitrata. 
 
 A short musical tract, ascribed to Venerable Bede. Burney says ' ' Of the two parts of 
 this treatise, the first may have been -WTitten by Bede, the second, however, is manifestly 
 the work of a much more modern author ; for we find in it not only the mention of music 
 in two or three different parts, under the name of Discant, but of instruments never 
 
 mentioned in writers cotemporary with Bede Upon the whole it seems as if 
 
 this last part of the tract attributed to Bede, was written about the twelfth century ; that 
 is, between the time of Guido and John de Muri§."

 In this manuscript the notes of the Plain Chant are sometimes written on the lines and 
 in the spaces of a four-lined stave, and sometimes with neumoe above the words. 
 
 W. R. Eookstro, in an article on notation in Grove's Dictionary of Music, says, " This 
 precious manuscript is generally believed to have been written by King Ethelred II., who 
 died in 1016. The words 'Ut Ethelredum regem et exercitum Anglorum oonservare 
 digneris,' inserted in the Litany in Folio 18 B, certainly confii-m this opinion. But a great 
 part of the MS. including this particular Litany, is written in the old notation, without 
 the Stave ; and sometimes both forms are found upon the same sheet." 
 
 c. 1100. 
 
 ANON. 
 
 Musica neu Beroriaetti. 
 
 A manuscript collection of pieces for the harp, once in the possession of Richard Morris, 
 of the Tower. Some part of this manuscript was transcribed in the time of Charles I. by 
 Robert ap Huw, of Bodwigen, in the Isle of Anglesea. According to a note in English it 
 contains the music of the Britons, as settled by a congress, or meeting of masters of music, 
 by order of Gryffyd ap Cynan, Prince of Wales, about the year 1 100, with some of the most 
 ancient pieces of the Britons, supposed to have been handed down from the Bards.

 ODINGTON, WALTER (of Evesham). 
 
 De Speculatione Musices, in six books. 
 
 Mr. Stephens, the translator and continuator of Dugdale's Monastioon, says, — 
 "Walter, monk of Evesham, a man of facetious wit, who applied himself to literature, 
 lest he should sink under the labour of the day, the watching at night, and continual 
 observance of regular discipline, used at spare hours to divert himself with the decent and 
 commendable diversion of musiok, to render himself the more cheerful for other duties ; 
 whether at length this drew him off from other studies I know not, but there appears no 
 other work of his than a piece entitled Th-e Speculation of MusicTc." 
 
 Burney gives a fairly full account of the contents of Walter of Evesham's work, saying 
 however, that ' ' the musical examples, as is usual in old manuscripts, are incorrect and 
 frequently inexplicable, owing to the ignorance of music in the transcribers ; but if this 
 tract were corrected, and such of the examples as are recoverable, regulated and restored, 
 it would be the most ample, satisfactory and valuable, which the middle ages can boast of."

 Manuscript copies in the Bodleian Library and in the British Museum. The Oxford 
 copy was described in the 1697 Bodleian Catalogue as De Musica continua et discreia cum

 manuscripts are distinct works, whereas they are merely slight variations of one and the 
 same work.

 dissertation . . ... . in the course of which it might be demonstrated, that without 
 
 the assistance which they affonl, it had been extremely difficult to have traced the history 
 of music through a period of three hundred years, the darkest in which literature of most 
 kinds can be said to have been involved."

 NOTE. — To expi-ess in the fewest words what I conceive to have been the state of 
 music down to about the end of the fifteenth century, I shoiild say that in the scholastic 
 music there was no Art, and in the popular music no Science ; whence it is that the former 
 has ceased to please, and the latter has for the most part perished utterly. . . . Music 
 is both an Art and a Science." — John Hullah, in "The Transition Period of Musical 
 History."

 Bitts of three Parte Songs, inPartition; with Ditties, 11 : without Ditties, 16. 
 
 Of this work, Burney says, ' ■ I am in possession of a small manuscript, which by the 
 writing and authosraphy, seems to be of the sixteenth century, entitled, ' Mr. Robert White, 
 his Bitts, of three Parte Songs, in Partition ; with Ditties, 11 ; without Ditties, 16.' These 
 are short fugues or intonations in most of the eight ecclesiastical modes, in which the 
 harmony is extremely pure, and the answers to each subject of fugue brought in with great 
 science and regularity. 
 
 The above list of Robert White's compositions is compressed from an exhaustive account 
 of the composer written by Dr. J. H. Mee, and published in Grove's Dictionary of Music 
 and Musicians.

 volume of his Hislori/. Very little is known about the origin of the manuscript. It once 
 belonged to Robert Fayrfax, who lived iu the time of Henry VII. and Henry VIII. Burney 
 says "the writing is veiy clear and intelligible, lor the period iu which it was transcribed, 
 though the time of the iimsieal characters, from the want of Bars, and the use of ligatures 
 and prolation, with a mixture of red notes for diminution, is sometimes difficult to ascertain."

 of the same.' " The colophon at the end of the book is, — " Thymage, or Mirrour of the 
 World. Emprysed and Fynyssed in the xxi. year of the regne of the most crysten Kyng, 
 Kynge Edward the fourth." 
 
 Tlie Mirrour of the World is the first English-printed book in which reference is made 
 to music. The twelfth book is entitled After of Music, and the text is illustrated by two 
 figures— a woman holding a scroll, and a man playing a pipe. The essay is philosophical 
 not theoretical or critical, proving that music is an art, and medicine only a craft, for the 
 former ministers to the soul, but the latter to the body only. An edition (c. 1490) has a, 
 totally different essay from the one in the 1481 edition, giving directions for the 
 mathematically correct tuning of a string of an instrument, &c The later edition has, 
 moreover, illustrative wood-cuts of two men and two women, one of the women singing, 
 and the other woman and the men playing instruments, the pictures being specially 
 interesting as showing some of the old instruments in use in the fifteenth century.

 RALPH HIGDEN, 
 
 The Polychronicon ; conteynyng the Berynges and Dedes of many Tymes, 
 in eight Bookes. Ranulph H'^den. 
 
 Written in Latin in the fourteenth century, and translated into English by John 
 Trevisa. A multifarious history of events without order or connection. It derives its 
 musical significance from its containing the following account of the discovery of the 
 harmonic consonances by Pythagoras: — "Here wyse men I telle that Pictagoras passed 
 somtyme by a smythes hous and herde a swete soun, and accordynge in the smytyng of 
 four hamers upon an anult, and therefore he lette way the hamers, and founde that one of 
 the hamers weyed six pounds, the second of twelve, the thyrde of eight, the fourth of ix., 
 as this fygure sheweth." 
 
 In the first English edition, printed by Caxton in 1482, a space was left for the insertion 
 by hand of the noting of the consonances of the diapason (octave), the diapente (fifth), the 
 diatessaron (fourth), and the duplex diapason (double octave). In the second English 
 edition, printed by Wynkyn-de-Worde, in 1495, the figure of the consonances was printed 
 from radely and incon-ectly set up types (quadrats and rules) the compositor showing one 
 degi'ee too much in the duplex diapason. 
 
 Higden's Polychronicon contains no other example of musical notation. The colophon 
 to the first edition is " Imprinted by William Caxton, after having somewhat changed the 
 rude and old Englyshe, that is to wete, oertayn Wordes which in these Dayes be neither 
 vysed nc understanden. Ended the second Daye of Juyll, xxij. yere of the Regn of Kynge 
 Edward the fourth, and of the Inoarnacion of our Lord a thousand four hundred four score 
 and tweyne. 1482." The colophon to the second edition is Polychronicon : Ended 
 thyrtenth day of Apryll, thyrtenth yere of the regne of Kynge Henry the seventh and of 
 the incarnaoyon of our Lord MCCCCLXXXV. Emprynted by Wynkyn Theworde,

 BARTHOLOM^US DE GLANTVILLE. 
 
 Bartholomseus de proprietatibus rerum. 
 
 "Written in Latin about 1366, and translated into English by John Trevisa in 1398. 
 The author was a Franciscan friar, and a descentant of the nohle family of the Earls of 
 Suffolk. His work is of a miscellaneous nature, containing remarks on the subjects of 
 theology, ethics, natural history, astronomy, medicine, geography, and sundry mathematical 
 sciences. The last part, on music, comprises a short treatise on the science and an account 
 of some of the musical instruments in use at the time at which the book was written. 
 " This," Hawkins says, " Is unquestionably the most ancient treatise on the subject in the 
 English language extant in print. " 
 
 About 1495 W3mkyn-de-Worde, at the desire of Eoger Thorney, a mercer, printed at 
 Westminster the English translation of Trevisa ; and from the proem to the book is learned 
 the fact that Caxton had previously printed the original Latin text at Cologne. 
 
 There are copies of six Latin editions of the " Proprietatibus rerum " in the Bodleian 
 Library, respectively printed in 1440, 1481, 1483, 1491, 1492, and 1519, and also two later 
 undated editions. In the same library there is a copy of the circa 1495 Wynkyn-de-Worde 
 edition, and a copy printed by Thomas Berthelet in 1535. (See Batman upon Bartholome 
 his booke De Proprietatibus Rerum, 1582.)

 apud "Westmonasterium, per Ingianum Notarie et Johanem Barbier iussu et impensis 
 Winkin-de-Worde, 8vo. Copy in the British Museum. 
 
 The oldest English-printed Missal. The manuscript was compiled for the Cathedral 
 at Salisbury, in the eleventh century, by Saint Osmund Bishop of the diocese. The earlier 
 Missals, according to the different Uses of Sarum, Hereford and York, were generally 
 printed for English use at Rouen. For the musical notation necessary for these works 
 various processes were employed. In some issues the notes wei-e printed from wooden 
 blocks ; in others the stave-lines only were printed, so that the notes could be added by 
 hand ; in others the stave-lines and the notes were produced by two separate printings ; 
 and early in the sixteenth century the stave-lines and notes were priuted at once from 
 moveable types. 
 
 A valuable exhaustive Catalogue of the early Missals of the Western Church is given 
 in W. H. J. Weale's Bibliographica Liturgica, published In 1886, by B. Quaritch. 
 
 Notary and Barbier's 1498 Missal has the four lines of the stave printed, for the 
 addition by hand of the notes. The colophon is "In laudum sanctissime trinitatis totinesq :

 Biographia Dramatica says ' ■ This piece was published by the learned typographer 
 Eastall, brother-in-law to Sii- Thomas More. It might have been the composition of either 
 the one or the other ; at least they are not disgraced by the supposition. This sort of 
 spectacle had hitherto been confined to moral allegory, or religion blended with buffoonery ; 
 but the present performance is rendered the vehicle of science and philosopliy. Wood 
 assigns it to Eastall." It is supposed that the piece was first printed in 8vo. about 1510 : 
 the printing of the 1520 4to edition was licensed to Rastell on the 25th of October, in the 
 eleventh year of the reign of Henry. VIII. (1520).

 A sharp attack upon the Roman Catholic religion, in the course of which the author 
 says of the singing by the choirs — "The musicians do sing songs of five parts, according to 
 
 the xcij. distinctive Cantatas, &c and do strain their voices above their reach, 
 
 as though they would be strangled ; within a little while they do let their voices fall so 
 low, that thou wouldst ween they did weep : one man singeth on this part, an other singeth 
 on another part, and by and by, afterwards, they wax dumb : anon, after one beginneth 
 to crow as it was a hen, which would lay eggs— and then followeth a sound of full voice, as 
 it were the sound of a drone or of a leather (ledder) pipe in so much that, oftentimes, in so 
 great a strife and diversity of manifold voices, it doth seem necessary to cry peace ! peace ! 
 they do howl so piteously, that we have in very deed pity and compassion upon them - 
 much like to the howling of cats in March."

 MILES COVERDALE. 
 
 Goostley Psalms and Spirituall Songes drawen out of the Holy Scripture 
 for the comforte and oonsolaoyon of such as love and rejoice in God and His Worde. 
 
 The earliest English Psalter and Hymn Book known. It is a production of Miles 
 Coverdale, Bishop of Exeter, and translator of the Bible known as Coverdale's Bible. It is 
 one of the scarcest of scarce books, as but one single copy is to be found, owing in all 
 probability to the fact that the book was prohibited by Henry VIII. in 1539. Coverdale 
 used Luther's Geislliche Lieder as the basis of his Goostley Psalms and Spirituall Songes, 
 and borrowed more than one-half his tunes, (fifty-one in number) therefrom. One of the 
 tunes copied by Coverdale appeared for the first time in the (Jeistliche Lieder in 1535 ; and 
 this fact and the fact that the English book was prohibited in 1539, bring the date of 
 publication of Coverdale's book within the naiTow limits of four years. 4to. Printed by 
 J. Googh. In Queen's College Library, Oxford.

 This setting of the Litany exhibits for the first time the use of music in connexion with 
 the English Cathedral Service when that Service was first performed in the English 
 language. There is reason to believe that the translation and musical setting were made 
 by Cranmer ; for in a letter to Henry VIII. (1545) the Archbishop said — " I have travailed 
 to make the verses in English, and have put the Latin note unto the same." The words 
 of the Englisli Litany were printed, without musical notes. May 27, 1544 ; but on June 26, 
 in a second edition, the Latin note, i.e., the Plain Song of the Roman Service appeared 
 with the melody harmonized for five voices "according to the notes used in the Kynges 
 Chapel." In Heylin's History of the Reformatimi it is said — " On the eighteenth day of 
 the month of September, 1547, the Litany was sung in the English tongue in St. Paul's 
 Church, between the quire and the high altar, the singers kneeling half on one side and 
 half on the other."

 NOTE. 
 
 On the 27th of June, 1554, Messrs. Whittingham, Williams, Sutton, and 
 Wood, with their families and friends, came to settle at the city of Frankfort ; and upon 
 application to the magistrates, were admitted to a partnership in the French church for a 
 place of worship ; the two congregations being to meet at different hours, as they should 
 agree among themselves, hut with this proviso. That before they entered they should 
 subscribe the French confession of Faith, and not quarrel about ceremonies, to which the 
 English agreed : and after consultation among themselves they concluded, by universal 
 consent of all present, not to answer aloud after the minister, nor to use the Litany and

 surplice ; but that the public service should begin with a general confession of sins, then 
 the people to sing a Psalm in metre, in a plain tune, after which the minister to pray for 
 the assistance of God's Holy Spirit, and so proceed to the Sermon, a general prayer for all 
 estates, and particularly for England, at the end of which was joined the Lord's prayer, and 
 a rehearsal of the articles of belief ; then the people were to sing another Psalm, and the 
 minister to dismiss them with a blessing. - (Neal's History oj the Puritans.)

 One and fiftie Psalms of David in English Metre, whereof 37 were made 
 by Thomas Sternhold, and the rest by others. Conferred with the hebrewe, and in certayne 
 places corrected as the text, and sens of the Prophete required. 
 
 This Psalter, printed at Geneva for the people of England, contains a tune (melody only) 
 for each Psalm. From what source the melodies were derived is not known, but they re- 
 appeared in many re-prints of the Sternhold and Hopkins' (otherwise, the Old) version of 
 the Psalms. The words and the tunes qiiickly foimd favour, and in 1559 Elizabeth issued 
 an injunction authorising the singing of them in the Churches. In quickly following years 
 several new editions, with additions, appeared, and in 1562 the associates of Sternhold 
 published the complete Psalter in English nietre. No copy of this issue is now in existence 
 the earliest still remaining edition being one (probably the third) printed m 1564, of which 
 there is a unique copy in the Bodleian Library.

 and distinct song, such as might be plainly understood of the people ; it being further 
 ordained, that for the consorting of such as delight in music, there might be in the begin- 
 ning or end of Morning or Evening Prayer, a hymn or such like song to the praise of 
 Almighty God, conveniently devised to the best melody and music, always having respect

 The Courte of Venus, newly and diligently corrected, with many new

 A collection of songs, the existence and origin of which is discussed in The Aihenaiu'm, 
 June 24th and July 1st, 1899. The writer of these interesting articles— Charlotte 
 Carmichael Stopes, says, "No printer's name or date is given, but the title is' set in an 
 engraved frame which may give a clue. In the Stationers' Registers we find that Henry 
 Sutton in 1557 was licensed to print The Court of l^enui:. It does not state whether it was 
 the new or tlie old form I have had all of Sutton's books ont that I could find at the 
 British Museum ; but though the type is somewhat similar, the printing is much more 
 careful, and the title frames are quite different [different that is from the title frame of the 
 Court of Venus, a fragment of which is in the Christie-Miller Library]. The writer in I'he 
 Athenaeum demonstrates, as far as demonstration in such a matter is possible, that it was 
 the wide-spread existence of books of filthy ballads that prompted the publication of meti-ical 
 Psalms and Hymns, from the time of Coverdale and Wedderburn to that of Sternhold and 
 his associates. Certainly this supposition is strengthened by the facts that The Court of 
 Venus has ceased to be known, and that in due course the denunciations of " ungodly 
 songes and ballades, " were, towards the end of the sixteenth century, taken off the Psalter 
 title-pages. 
 
 In 1559, John Daye printed a quatron (250 copies) of Psalmes, with 
 Notes, and on the 2nd of October was fined by the Stationers' Company for so doing. ,

 Cum gratia et privilegio Regiie Maiestatis per decennium. 
 
 The metrical Psalter of Archbishop Mat'./ieic Parker. In the diary of the famous Prelate, 
 printed by Strype in 1711, is the following entry : -"6 Aug., An. Dom. 1.557. I persist in 
 the same constancy, upholden by the grace and goodness of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus 
 Christ, by whose inspiration I have finished the book of Psalms turned into vulgar verse. " 
 Thus the date at which Parker finished his work is made known, and from what is further 
 said by Strype it may be gathered that Parker's Psalms were printed but not published, a 
 few copies being given to friends. At the end of the book are eight tunes in four parts — 
 Meane, Contratenor, Tenor, and Bass, the plain-sougin the Tenor The tunes are respectively 
 in the first eight ecclesiastical tones, and are thus particularized, — 
 The nature of the eight tunes. 
 
 1. The first is meek : devout to see "Man blest no doubt." 
 
 2. The second sad : in majesty. " Let God arise. " 
 
 3. The third doth rage : and roughly brayeth. " Why fumeth in fight." 
 4 The fourth doth frowne : and flattery playeth. " O come in one." 
 
 5. The fifth delighteth : and laugheth the more. " Even like the hunted hind."- 
 
 6. The sixth bewayleth : it weepeth full sore ' • Expend, Lord. " 
 
 7. The seventh treadeth stoute : in forward race. "Why bragst in malice high." 
 
 8. The eighth goeth milde : in modest pace " God grant with grace." 
 
 Tlie tenor of these partes be for the people when they syng alone, the other partes put 
 for the greater queers, or to such as will syng or play them privately. 
 
 The eighth tune, set to the verse beginning " God grant, with grace," is the original 
 of the one now known as TaUis's Canon, sung to Ken's Evening Hymn. There is a ninth 
 tune for the English version of the hymn " Yeni Creator Spiritus " ("Come, Holy Ghost.")

 The Fonne of Prayer and Ministration of the Sacraments, &c., as used in 
 the English Ohiiroh at Geneva, approved and received by the Churohe of Scotland, whereunto 
 besydea that was in the former bokes, are also added sondrie other prayers, with the whole 
 Psalnies of David in English metre. Printed at Edinburgh by Robert Lekprevik. MDLXIII. 
 
 The first Scottish Psalter, the completion of which was ordered by the General Assembly 
 in 15B1, the order, however, not being carried out till 1564. As soon as the book was 
 printed the Assembly ordained that every minister, reader, and exhorter, should have and 
 use a copy of it. New editions were issued in 1596, 1611, 161,'i, 1633, 1634, and 1635, and 
 it remained the only authoritatively recognized version until 1650. In that year, on the 
 1st of May, the use of it in the Scottish Church was forbidden 
 
 The Scottish Psalter was based upon the Anglo-Genevan Form of Prayer of 1565-6. It 
 contained fifty-six Psalms, thirty-seven of which were by Sternhold, seven by Hopkins, and 
 seven by Whittingham. It has been said that the preparation of the text was instigated by 
 the famous Regent Murray ; but nearly all that is farther known about the musical settings 
 in the book is derived from a note on an imperfect manuscript written by Thomas Wode or 
 Wood, a sixteenth century Vicar of St Andrews. The musicians named in this note are

 Batman upon Bartolome his booke de Proprietatibus Rerum, with 
 additions, Stephen Batman. 
 
 For an account of the book Bartolomeus de proprietatibus Reruni, see circa 1495, The 
 exposition by Stephen Batman is worthy of special notice because it is one of the first books 
 printed in England containing observations on the science and art of music. Hawkins 
 speaks of it as " a work that merits the attention of every lover of antiquity and every 
 proficient in English literature," and he endorses his opinion by printing iu his History the 
 whole of the chapters on music. Batman describes the musical instruments of his own and 
 former times — the organe, tromp, tricina, trompe of borne, tree, or brass, tibia, calamo, 
 fistula, sambuca, symphonia, tabour, tymbre, harpe, sawtry. lyre, cymbal, etc. He explains 
 in quaint language the nature of consonance, and how "the hye sowne is made to accord 
 with the lowe and the lowe wyth the highe ; " how music sheweth " that erthly thynges may 
 be joyned in accorde to heuenly thynges ; how by it the gladde and joyful hertes may be 
 made more gladde, and sory hertes^ more sory." 
 
 Batman, throughout his book, aimed at accommodating the fourteenth century language 
 of Trevisa's translation to the style of the English language of the last part of the sixteenth 
 century,

 The Author says in his Preface,— " Being rhetorically persuaded to graunt to the pub- 
 lishing thereof, I forbore to do it till I had considered two thinges, whereof the one was the 
 worthiness of the matter. The other the feeling of the common affections. But for the 
 worthinesse I thought it not to be doubted, seeing heere one set forth a booke of a hundred 
 mery tales ; another the battaile between the spider and the fly ; another De Pugin's 
 Poroorura ; another of a monster born at London the second of January, hedded lyke a 
 horse and bodied like a man, with other such lyke fictions ; and thinking this matter then 
 some of these to be more worthy. As for the other wich is to fede the common affections of 
 the patient learned, I doubt not but that may soon be ; but he that will not take in hand 
 to serve to the piu'pose of every petty pratler, may as soon by sprinckling water, suffice the 
 drieness of the earth, as bring his purpose to passe. " 
 
 William Bathe, student, seems to have been quite awake to the errors of the teachers of 
 his time, and also to the excellence of own methods.

 A Request of all true Christians to the Houses of Parliament. 
 
 The author or authors prayed, amongst other things, " that all cathedral churches may 
 be put down, where the service of God is gi-ievously abused by piping with organs, ringing, 
 and trowling of Psalms from one side of the choir to another, with the squeaking of chauuting 
 choristers, disguised (as are all the rest) in white surplices ; some in corner caps and silly 
 copes, imitating the fashion and manners of Antichrist the Pope, that man of sin and child 
 of perdition, with his rabble of miscreants and shavelings." 
 
 The Request of all true Christians was not the first publication expressing abhorence of 
 cathedral music. In 1570 Thomas Cartwright issued a violent protest, denouncing organs 
 as proper only for " Popysche dennes ; " and Cartwright was followed by the puritans Field, 
 Wilcox, and Brown A reply to these writers and agitators came from Richard Hooker in 
 l.'i83. The seeds of dissension, however, were too widely scattered to he kept down by the 
 most emphatic rejoinilers, and two centuries were not sufficient for counter-balancing the 
 mischiefs springing from the sixteenth century disputes on church service and ceremonial.

 1st — It is a knowledge easily taught and quickly learned, when there is a good master

 2nd— The exercise of singing is delightful to nature and good to preserve the health 
 of man. 
 
 3rd— It doth strengthen all the parts of the breasts, and doth open the pipes. 
 
 4th — It is singular good remedie for stutting and stammering of speech. 
 
 5th— It is the best means to procure a perfect pronunciation and to make a good 
 orator. 
 
 6th — It is the only way to know where nature hath bestowed a good voyoe ; which gift 
 is so rare that there is not one among a thousand that hath it ; and in many that excellent 
 gift is lost, because they want art to express nature. 
 
 7th. — There is not any musicke of instrument whatsoever comparable with that which 
 is made of the voyoes of men ; where the voyces are good, and the same well sorted and 
 ordered 
 
 8th.— The better the voice is, the meeter it is to honour and serve God therewith ; and 
 the voyce of man is chiefly to be employed to that end.

 WILLIAM BYRD. 
 
 Mass for Three Voices. 
 
 The Athenoeam for June 25tli, 1887, contains an interesting paper on this Mass by Mr. 
 W. Barclay Squire, of the British Museum. The writer says, ' ' Two manuscript copies 
 of one of the lost masses of William Byrd, have been recently discovered in the library of 
 the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge. From a ' Catalogue of all the Mnsic-Bookes that 
 have been Printed in England, either for voyce or instruments,' sold by John Playford, it 
 was known that Byrd had published three Masses, for three, four and five voices respectively. 
 They were probably all printed in separate voice-parts, without title page, like the only 
 known example for five voices, which is preserved in the Library of the British Museum. 
 The two which have been hitherto lost can be traced (under the names of ' Bird's Kirries 
 and Byrd's Mottetos ') until the sale of James Bartleman's Library in 1822, when they 
 were sold in a lot of twenty -six sets of Madrigals, in six volumes bound in vellurn, which 
 fetched twelve guineas. This lot included works by Morley, Weelkes, Gibbons, Bateson, 
 Watson, Kirbye, Yonge, Vecchi, Croce, and Molinaro. Since then the masses for three and 
 four voiees have entirely disappeared." 
 
 The copy noticed by Mr. W. B. Squire is in the hand-writing of John Immyns, founder 
 of the Madrigal Society. It formerly belonged to Mr. W. Scroggs, of Berkshire After- 
 wards it was sold to E Score, an Exeter bookseller ; later to Thomas Bever, and in 1798 
 was acquired by Lord Fitzwilliam. It is written for Cantus, Altus and Tenor, in the key 
 of F major. The Mass for four voices, mentioned in Playford's catalogue, was, for a time, 
 supposed to be lost.

 " Bird's Kerries," mentioned in Playford's Catalogue. For Cantus Imo, Cantus 2ndo,

 Society. 
 
 A supplementary notice of Byrd's Masses, in Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians 
 (vol. 4, page 713) written by Mr. W. Barklay Squire, states that a recently acquired set of 
 part books (Superius, Medius, Tenor, Bassusi of the second edition of Byrd's Gradiuilia, 
 contains interleaved copies of the composer's three masses. 
 
 Mr. W. S. Eockstro, in Grove's Dicti'imiry of Music "iid Musicians, accepting Rimbault's 
 probable date of composition, says of the Mass for five voices, — "Composed some years 
 before the Mirsa Papa Marcelli, it may fairly lay claim to be classed as a production of the 
 ' Golden Age ; ' for it was certainly' not printed till after the appearance of Palestrina's 
 Second Book of Masses. Moreover, it exhibits unmistakeable traces of the Roman style ; a 
 style the beauties of which were speedily recognised from one end of Europe to the other."

 The Second Booke of the Musicke of M. William Damon, conteining all

 singeth the church tune. Published for the recreation of such as delight in Musicke : by 
 W. Swayne Gent. Printed by T. Este, the assigne of W. Byrd. 
 
 These books, it appears, were published as protests against the unwarranted publication 
 of Damon's tunes by John Bull. The settings are in the motet style more completely than 
 are earlier settings of the Psalm-tunes. Twelve of the tunes published by Bull are omitted, 
 and there is one notable addition, that of the tune now known as Windsor, three of the 
 four lines of the melody of wliich are found in Tye's Acts of the Apostles (1553).

 The composer of this collection of Madrigals was an ecclesiastic of the Romish 
 communion. Hawkins speaks of him as an exquisite composer of vocal music both sacred 
 and profane, and Peacham says, — "Nor must I here forget our rare conntreyman, Peter 
 Philips, Organist to their Altezza's at Bruxels, now one of the greatest Masters of Musicke 
 in Europe. He hath sent us over many excellent songs, as well as motets and madrigals : 
 He affectith altogether the Italian veine." The first madrigal in this collection, "'Vol 
 volete," is printed in Hawkins's History.

 ech on a several part in this booke. TWherein the Church tunes are carefully corrected, and 
 thereunto added other short tunes usually sung in London, and other places of this Realme, 
 With a table in the end of the booke of such tunes as are newly added, with the number of 
 ech Psaline placed to the said tune. Compiled by Sondrie Avthors who have so laboured 
 heerein that the unskilfull with small practice may attaine to sing that part, which is

 The musicians employed by Este were John Farmer, George Kirbye, Richard Allison, 
 Giles Farnaby, Edward Blancks, John Dowland, William Cobbold, Edmund Hooper, 
 Edward Allison, and Richard Cavendish. In his preface Est says : — " Although I might 
 have used the skill of some one learned musitian, in the setting of these Psalms in 4 parts, 
 yet for variety's sake I have entreated the help of many : being such as I know to be expert 
 in the Art and sufTioient to anSAvere such curious carping musitiaus, whose skill hath not 
 been employed to the fm-thering of this work. And I have not onely set down in this 
 booke all the tunes vsually printed heretofore, with as much truth as I could possibly 
 gather among diuers of our ordinary Psalnie bookes, but also have added those, which are 
 commonly song now adayes, and not printed in our common Psalme booke with the rest. 
 And all this have I so orderly cast, that the four parts lye always together in open sight. 
 The which may trauayle as it hath been to the furtherance of Musicke, in all godlie sort, 
 and to the comfort of all good Christians : so I pray thee to take it in good part, and use it 
 to the glory of God." 
 
 A second edition of Est's Psalter was published in 1594 ; a third edition in 1604 ; and 
 the work was reprinted in 1844, by the Musical Antiquarian Society.

 books 6, 7, 8, were not printed till after Hooker's death, which took place in 1600. 
 
 The whole of the Laws of Eoolesiastioal Politie, is an eloquent and noble pleading for 
 order in the Church. In the fifth book is a defence of the manner of singing the Psalms of 
 the day and other portions of the Service, against the arguments of the Puritans, who 
 desired the doing away of all that had real or pretended origin in the Eomish Services. The 
 powerful pleading of Hooker was remarkable for its honesty and generous qualities. His 
 writings are models of sixteenth century English literature, free from any bitterness of 
 spirit or prejudice.

 A Briefe Litroduction to the Skill of Song : concerning the practice, set

 partes in one vpon the plaine song. Also a Table newly added of the comparisons of oleues, 
 how one followeth another for the naming of notes : with other necessarie examples, to 
 further the learner. Fabius musica est honestum et iucundum oblectamentum, liberalibus, 
 ingenijs niaxime dignum. 8vo. London. Printed by Thomas Este. 
 
 In the British Museum. 
 
 The author says in his address to the Reader that where old authors gave prolix rules 
 he has given brief rules ; that where they gave uncertain rules he has given sure rules ; and 
 that w'here they gave no rules he has given rules. He also explains how he, a gentleman, 
 and not a professional musician, came to write the work, and says, " In a moneth and lesse 
 I instructed a child about the age of eight yeeres, to sing a good number of songs, difficult 
 crabbed songs, to sing at first sight, to be so different for all parts, alterations, cleus, &c " 
 The following is an example of W. Bathe's rules, to wit, a rule for measuring time : — "Take 
 a stick of a certain length, and a stone of a certaine weight, hold the stick standing upon 
 an end of some table : see you have upon the stick divers marks : hold the stone up by the 
 side of the sticky then as you let fall the stone, instantly begin to sing one note, and just 
 with the noyse that it maketh upon the table, begin another note, and so long as thou 
 boldest the first note, so long hold the rest, and let that note be thy crotchet or thy minim, 
 &c , as thou seest cause, and thus maiest thou measure the verie time itselfe that thou 
 keepest, and know whether thou hast altered it or not." 
 
 The 1596 book is to some extent a re- writing of Bathe's 1584 Briefe Introduction.

 Morley, in his Inlrodiiclimi, to Practical Musicke (1597) thus severely condemns this 
 book : — " Take away two or three scales, which are filched out of Beurhusius, and fill up 
 the first three pages of the booke, you shall not find one side of all the booke without some 
 grosse eri'or or othei^. For as he setteth down his dupla, so doth he all his propositions, 
 giving tnie definitions and false examples, the examples still importing the contrarie of 
 that which was said in the definition. But this is the worlde ; every one will take upon 
 him to write and teach others, none having more need of teaching than himselfe. And as 
 for him of whom we have spoken so much, one part of his booke he stole out of Beurhusius, 
 another out of Lossius, perverting the sense of Lossius his worde, and giving examples flat 
 to the contrary of that which Lossius saith. And the last part of his booke ti'eating of 
 Descant, he took verbatim out of an olde written booke whicli I have ; but it seems tliat 
 whatsoever or whosoever he was that gave it to the presse, was not the author of it himselfe, 
 else would he have set his name to it, or then he was ashamed of his labour. "

 Burney speaks of Morley as the best autJior who had written expressly on music in the 
 English language since the invention of printing ; adding, however, that he took too many 
 things upon trust. Notwithstanding Burney 's qualifying judgment, Morley's Introduction 
 may still be read with pleasure and profit. His explanation of Descant places the art 
 of descanting in a fairly clear light, and if he is strongly pronounced in his condemnations 
 of other writers, he shows a deeper knowledge of the art of music than is displayed by any 
 of his contemporaries. His remarks about the history of music have not as yet lost their

 defending the performance of plays by the under-graduates of the University. Eainolds 
 replied in a pamphlet, the preface of which is dated 1593, and attacked with especial vigour 
 the appearance on the stage of youths in women's clothes. Gager's replies to Rainolds are 
 preserved in Corpus Christi College Library. The disputants were well matched. Fuller 
 says of Rainolds " His memory was little less than miraculous ; he himself being the truest 
 table to the multitude of the voluminous books he had read over."

 Small 4to in six separate part books— Cantus, Altus, Tenor, Medius, Sextus, and Bass. 
 In London : Printed by Thomas Este, the Assigne of Thomas Morley. 1601. 
 
 Different accounts of the origin of the title " Oriana " have been given. J. S. Smith,' 
 in Musica Anliqua, says, — "Under this shrewd Princess [Elizabeth] were two powerful 
 parties, actuated by opposite interests. The heat of party feeling occasioned latterly the 
 Roman Catholics to nickname the Queen ' Dido, ' to insinuate an untruth ; the cooler party 
 adopted the brighter title of ' Oriana,' to crush the falsehood." Another account says the 
 Oriana title was suggested by the Lord High Admiral Howard ; and Camden says that 
 thirty years before Morley published his famous Collection, a Spanish ambassador had 
 nicknamed the Queen. " Araadis Oriana." Sir John Hawkins observes, — "There is some 
 piece of secret history which we have yet to learn, that would enable us to account for 
 giving the Queen this romantic name. " The knowledge of this has never come to hand, 
 but the names of the twenty-five composers who eoutributed to the contents of the work, 
 and who may be regarded as fairly representative of the English Madrigalian School and 
 period, will be kept in honourable remembrance The " Triumphs of Oriana," printed in 
 1601, but not published till 1603, contains twenty-five madrigals by Michael Este, Danifl 
 Noreome, John Miinday, Ellis Gibbons (two madrigals), John Bennett, John Hilton, George 
 Marson, Richard Carlton, John Holmes, Richard Nicholson, Thomas Tomkins, Michael 
 Cavendish, William Cobbold, Thomas Morley (two Madrigals), John Farmer, John Wilbye, 
 Thomas Hunt, Thomas Weelkes, George Kirbye, Robert Jones, John Lislie, and Edward 
 Johnson. To the works of these composers two madrigals by Thomas Bateson, a madrigal 
 by Giovanni Croce, and a madrigal by Francis Pilkington, were added in a score edition 
 published by William Hawes in 1814. 
 
 The writer of the Oriana poetry is unknown. With few exceptions the words of all the 
 madrigals end — 
 
 ' ' Then sang the nympths and shepherds of Diana, 
 Long live fair Oriana."

68 Outlines of Musical Bibliography. 
 
 The full original Latin title of this book is — " Musicae activte Micrologus, libris quatuor 
 digestns, oninibus mnsiciE studiosis non minus utilis quam neoessarius. Exoussam est hoc 
 opus LipsiiE in sedibus Valentini Sohumani mense januario anni Verginei partus deoinii 
 septimi supra sesquimilles imum." (1517). Leone deoirao pontifioiniaximo,ao Maximillano 
 gloriosissimo imperatori orbi terrarura prassilentibiis. 
 
 Little is known about Ornithoparous excepting that his real name was Vogelsang, and 
 that he was born in Meinengen in Saxony. His Micrologus is divided into four books. The 
 first contains the preliminary definitions regarded as necessary by most old writers on music, 
 with praises of the art and treatises on the plain chant and the monochord. The second 
 book treats of measured music, ligatures, and notation in general. The third book is 
 devoted to the accents, &o. , of ecclesiastical music. The fourth book contains an epitome 
 of the laws of counterpoint, and remarks on the various styles of singing. " The English," 
 the author says, ' ' carol, the French sing, the Spanish weep, the Italians of Genoa caper, 
 other Italians bark, but the Germans howl like wolves " 
 
 The Microloqus, in its completeness, is one of the most valuable of the theoretical books 
 of its period. In it the student will find quaintly but intelligently expressed explanations 
 of music as it existed in the first part of the seventeenth century.

 A small folio volume, containing manuscript copies of nearly 300 tunes composed or 
 adapted for the Virginals by William Byi-d, John Bull, Giles Farnaby, Peter Philips, John 
 Munday, Ferdinand Richardson, Thomas Morley, Robert Johnson, Thomas Oldfield, WilKam

 E. Hooper, Ed\^ard Johnson, William Inglot, Jehan Oystermayre, and Orlando Gibbons. 
 
 The volume has long been known as Queen Elizabeth's Virginal Book, but there is ample 
 internal evidence that it was never in the possession of England's famous queen. The 
 earliest notice of it is in Ward's Lives of the Gresham Professors (1740). About the middle 
 of the ] 8th century it passed into the hands of Dr. Pepusoh, and at the sale of his collections 
 it was bought by Bremner, the publisher, and given by him to Lord Fitzwilliam. It is now 
 in the Fitzwilliam Museum at Cambridge. 
 
 Exhaustive accounts, with annotated tables of contents, &c., of Queen Elizabeth's 
 Virginal Book, Lady NevelVs Virginall Book, Will. Forster's Virginal Book, and Benjamin 
 Cosyn's Virginal Book, written by Mr. William Barclay Squire, may be found in the fourth 
 volume of Grove's Dictiovary of Music and Musicians.

 to attaine to knowledge in the Art ; and may, by practice, if they can sing, soone be able 
 to compose three, four, and five parts, and also to compose all sorts of canons that are 
 usuall, by these directions of two or three parts in one, upon the Plain Song. 
 
 4to. London : Printed by R. Young, at the Signe of the Starre on Bread- street Hill. 
 1631. 
 
 Dedicated to Dr. Goodman, Bishop of Gloucester, to whom the author says he is bound 
 by many favours. As the work of a learned theoretical and practical musician Bevin's 
 treatise is perhaps more valuable than any which had preceded it. It contains the first good 
 expositions of canon and fugue, and the canonical examples (all based upon a simple Plain 
 Chant of seven notes) display invention and ingenuity. Some of the examples are canons 
 at stated distances of a crotchet, a minim, a semibreve, a breve, and three minims, and 
 some are canons three in one, four in two, by augmentation and diminution, in the fourth 
 and fifth, above and below, reote et retro, per arsin et thesin, &c. Bevin, a Romanist, was 
 fond of comparing things divine and secular, pointing out, for instance that "a canon of 
 three in one hath a resemblance to the Holy Trinity, as they are three distinct parts com- 
 prehended in one. The leading part hath reference to the Father, the following part to the 
 Sonne, the third to the Holy Ghost. "

 . There is a circumstantial account of the presentation of this Masque in the third volume 
 of Burney's History of Micsic, with a tune called Whitelock's Coranto, composed by the 
 chief commissioner, who apparently had a principal hand in preparing the entertainment.

 WILLIAM PRYNNE. 
 
 Histrio-Mastix, the Players Scourge, or Actors Tragedie, in which it is 
 pretended to be evidenced, that stage playes (the very pompes of the devill which we 
 renounce in baptisme, if we believe the fathers) are sinful, heathenish, lewde, ungodly 
 spectacles, and most pernicious corruptions ; condemned in all ages as intollerable mischiefes 
 to churches, to republickes, to the manners, mindes, and souls of men. And that the 
 profession of play-poets, of stage-players, together with the penning, acting, and frequenting 
 of stage playes are unlawfull, infamous, and misbecoming christians. All pretences to the 
 contrary are here likevrise fully answered, and the unlawfulness of acting or beholding 
 academical enterludes briefly discussed, besides sundry other particulars concerning dancing, 
 dicing, health-drinking, &e. WiUiam I'rynne. 
 
 A notorious denunciation of stage plays and similar entertainments, powerful in bringing 
 about an interdiction of dramatic representations, and the subsequent putting down of the 
 cathedral service. The scurrility of Prynne's language, however, brought upon him_ terribly 
 severe punishment, the accounts of which belong as much to general as to musical and 
 
 dramatic history.

 The manuscripts of the other songs are in the British Museum. 
 
 Burney says, that on its first production ' ' a very small part of this Masque was sung :

 " Now my task is smoothly done, " are said to have been all the words set to music by

 didactic work on the subject of music published in that King's reign." 'This is scarcely 
 true. The book treats of the modes of singing, of setting, of ornament, fugue, and form, of 
 counterpoint and descant, of instruments and the voice, of the use of music in the church, 
 and of the special uses of civil music. Butler made use of peculiar characters of his own

 expense, publisht for the general good of all such as shall desire them either for public or 
 private exercise. Collected out of divers approved Authors by John Barnard, one of the 
 minor Canons of the Cliurch of St. Paul.

 It is doubtful whether an organ-part was ever printed, although an indispensable 
 necessity in all places where the selected Services and Anthems were used. Until about 
 fifty years ago, no complete set of the parts was known to exist. The for a long time 
 wanting copies have, however, by degrees been acquired, and now the valuable specimens of 
 old English church music printed by John Barnard may be studied. The composers, some 
 of whose productions are included in the work, are Tallis, Strogers, Bevin, Byrd, 0. Gibbons, 
 W. Mundy, R Parsons, Morley,, Giles, Ward, Woodson, Hooper, Farrant, Shepheard, 
 Batten, Tye, White, Weelkes, and Bull ; all of whom died before 1641. 
 
 Seven separate parts of the manuscript collections made by Barnard for his work, 
 comprising upwards of one hundred and thirty Services and Anthems, besides those included 
 in The. First Book of Selected Ohurch Music, are still extant.

 ' ' Complaint being made of the obsolete version of the J'salms by Sternhold and Hopkins, 
 the parliament desired them [the members of the General Assembly of Divines] to recommend 
 some other to be used in churches ; accordingly they read over Mr. Rouse's version, and 
 after several amendments sent it up to the House, November 14, 1645, with the following 
 recommendation, "Whereas the honourable house of commons, by an order bearing date 
 November 20, 1643, have recommended the Psalms published by Mr. Eouse to the considera- 
 tion of the Assembly of Divines, the Assembly has caused them to be carefully perused, and 
 as they are now altered and amended do approve them, and humbly conceive they may be 
 useful and profitable to the church, if they be permitted to be publicly sung ; accordingly 
 they were authorised by the houses." (Neal's History of the Puritans.)

 cases wherein they stand ; and the penalties to be imposed upon church authorities or others 
 whose duty it was to see to the carrying out of the puritanical orders, for neglect of duty, 
 were clearly specified.

 tunes to which the Psalms were first set were given in all editions excepting those specifically
