PREFACE. 
 
 CATHEDRAL Music consists of Chants, Ser- 
 vices (technically so called, by which are meant 
 the Te Deum, Magnificat, &c. which the Rubric 
 appoints to be sung after the first and second lessons 
 at Morning and Evening Prayer), and Anthems, 
 full and verse; full, when sung by four voices in 
 parts, to the loud organ, or in five, six, or eight 
 parts; verse, when sung by one, two or three 
 voices to the soft organ. The first collection of 
 Anthems was published soon after the Restora- 
 tion in 1664, in black letter, entitled " Divine 
 Services and Anthems usually sung in his Majesty's 
 Chapel," Sec. " by James Clifford, minor Canon 
 of St. Paul's Cathedral ;" the second publication 
 of this kind was printed in 1712, since which 
 time, in consequence of the increased demand for 
 these works, several other editions have appeared, 
 among which it is right to specify two published 
 for the use of his Majesty's Chapel Royal ; the 
 first in 1769, under the direction of Dr. Anselm 
 Bayly, Subdean of the Chapels Royal ; the 
 second in 1795, under the direction of Dr. Pearce, 
 likewise Subdean. In the following Collection of 
 Anthems it has been deemed expedient to arrange 
 them in chronological order from the time of the

 Reformation to the present day ; a plan which 
 wfll it is presumed be acceptable to the amateur 
 in Cathedral Music, who will thereby be enabled 
 to trace the changes of style which have taken 
 place in our Church Music since tbe reign of 
 Henry 8th. 
 
 Previous to the Reformation,* the order of 
 worship was not so settled but that a latitude was 
 left for every Cathedral Church to establish each a 
 formulary for itself, which in time was called its 
 Use; of which practice there is the clearest inti- 
 mation in the Preface to the Common Prayer of 
 Queen Elizabeth. And we elsewhere learn that 
 of the several uses which had obtained in this 
 kindom, that of Sarum, established in the year 
 1077, was the most followed. From Lyndwood 
 it appears not only that the use of Sarum prevailed 
 almost throughout the province of Canterbury, but 
 that in respect thereof the bishop of that diocese 
 claimed by ancient usage and custom to execute 
 the office of precentor and to govern the choir 
 whenever the Archbishop of Canterbury per- 
 formed divine service in the presence of the 
 College of Bishops. And an instance of the 
 actual exercise of the office of precentor, or 
 chanter, at a public solemnity by a Bishop of 
 Salisbury, occurs in an account of the christening 
 of prince Arthur in the Collectanea of Leland, vol.

 " Ely was deken and rede the gospel. The 
 " bishop of Rochester bar the crosse and rede 
 " the epistelL The bishop of Saresbury was 
 " chaunter and beganne the office of the masse." 
 
 At the time of the Reformation,* a species of 
 intricate, or, as it was then termed, curious 
 Music had taken possession of the whole Church 
 Service ; it not only was joined to the Psalmodical 
 and Supplicatory part, but even the Epistle and 
 Gospel were sung, not merely in simple intonation 
 or chant, but in that mode of florid descant in 
 which the various voices following one another, 
 according to the rules of an elaborate canon, were 
 perpetually repeating different words at the same 
 time. Several instances of this kind are to be 
 met with in the ancient missals ; but perhaps the 
 most absurd is that contained in a breviary or 
 missal printed in the reign of Queen Mary, and 
 still preserved in the library of York, in which 
 may be seen the genealogy in the first chapter of 
 St. Mathew set to this scientific style of music. 
 Henry the 8th did nothing towards reforming 
 these abuses, probably because he was himself 
 fond of this music, and indeed himself a composer 
 in this style as the first anthem in Dr. Bovces 
 collection of Cathedral Music sufficiently proves.

 Cathedral Music" prefixed to his Collection of Anthems lor the" use

iv PREFACE. 
 
 Luther* likewise retained that species of music 
 which we call Cathedral, because he was himself 
 an adept in that science and a composer. Calvin, 
 who was probably no musician, rejected it and 
 adopted common Psalmody. The introduction of 
 a new liturgy into the Church in the reign of 
 Edward the 6th, as it implied a total repudiation 
 of the ancient musical service, made it necessary 
 for those who were concerned to maintain he 
 dignity and splendor of divine worship to think of 
 framing a new one.f This work was accordingly 
 undertaken and accomplished by John Marbeck, 
 Organist of Windsor,! who set the whole Liturgy 
 to musical notes ; his book, printed in 1550, may 
 truly be considered as the foundation of the solemn 
 musical service of the Church of England. Dr. 
 Boyce indeed has ascribed to Tallis the merit of 
 being the first composer of the musical part of 
 divine service in the English language ; but 
 Tallis only improved and enriched the original 
 melody of Marbeck by the addition of three parts : 
 the harmony in which he has clothed it is indeed 
 admirable, and his antique modulation, particu- 
 larly in the Preces and Responses, produces a 
 solemn effect, very different from that of any music 
 composed during the last century .§

PREFACE. v 
 
 The first anthem set to English words after the 
 Reformation was that beginning " I will exalt 
 thee," by Dr. Tye, Musical Preceptor to King 
 Edward Gth, who also, for his royal pupil's use, 
 set to music the first 14 chapters of the Acts of the 
 Apostles.* In the year 1559 Queen Elizabeth 
 published injunctions for the Clergy, in the 49th 
 of which is one for the encouragement and con- 
 tinuance of choral music ; and it was by the 
 moderation, liberality, and intelligence of this 
 injunction, that choral music was saved from utter 
 extirpation in this country ; for the outcry and 
 violence of the Puritans against playing upon 
 organs, curious singing, and tossing about the 
 psalms from side to side (meaning antiphonal or 
 alternate singing), were at this time so great, that 
 they could only be restrained by an exertion of 
 all the power and firmness of that Princess. Not- 
 withstanding this, however, in the year 1644 the 
 Puritans, having now got the reins of government 
 into their own hands, procured the repeal of King 
 Edward and Queen Elizabeth's statutes; organs 
 were ordered to be taken down and cathedral 
 service abolished. Thus was the whole fabric of 
 the liturgy subverted and the study of that kind 
 of harmony rendered useless, which had hitherto 
 been considered as a great incentive to devotion. f

VI PREFACE. 
 
 The first collection of Church Music was pub- 
 lished in 1641, by John Barnard, Minor Canon of 
 St. Paul's, a valuable work containing the best 
 compositions of the old masters : a similar pub- 
 lication by Thomas Tomkins was printed a few- 
 years after. But more especially to Dr. Boyce 
 and also to Dr. Arnold, is our choral service 
 indebted for their splendid collections of Cathedral 
 Music. 
 
 After this short review of the state of Church 
 Music at the period of the Reformation, it only 
 remains to be remarked that, although the Rev. 
 Mr. Mason, in the essay above alluded to, seems 
 to differ from Dr. Boyce in his opinion of the 
 learning and ingenuity of the older masters, yet 
 it is impossible not to coincide with Dr. Burney 
 in the following judicious observation : " How- 
 ** ever uncouth the compositions of these times 
 " may appear to those who think all music barba- 
 " rous but that of the present day, it seems as if 
 " those productions, which at any period of an 
 " art, universally afforded delight to the best 
 " judges of their merit, were well entitled to 
 u examination and respect, however the revolu- 
 " tions of taste and fashion may have diminished 
 " their favor."*

A 
 
 SUCCINCT ACCOUNT 
 
 OF THE 
 
 AUTHORS 
 
 Whose Compositions are contained in this Collection* 
 
 Tallis (Thos.), the master of Bird, and one of 
 the greatest musicians not only of this country 
 but of all Europe during the 16th century. He 
 was Organist of the Royal Chapels to Henry 8th, 
 Edward 6th, Queen Mary,* and Queen Elizabeth. 
 Many of his excellent compositions, of which the 
 words were originally Latin, were afterwards ad- 
 justed to English words by Dr. Aldrich and others 
 for the use of our Cathedrals; particularly the 
 first anthem in this collection, " I call and cry," 
 taken from an Eucharistical hymn, beginning " O 
 " Sacrum Convivium." This venerable musician 
 died in 1585. 
 
 Farrant (Rich d ) was gentleman of the Royal 
 Chapels to Edward 6th and Queen Elizabeth, 
 and in 1564 was appointed Organist of St. George's 
 Chapel, Windsor, and Master of the Choristers 
 there. His compositions are in a remarxably 
 devout and solemn style : he died in 1585. 
 
 Palestrina (Giovanni Pietro), born in the 
 
 • Although this has been generally asserted, yet it is the opinion 
 of several learned men, that, during the three first of these reigns, 
 no laymen were ever appointed to this office. In the reigns of 
 Henry 8th and his daughter Mary, when the Roman Catholic 
 religion prevailed, the organ in Convents was usually played by 
 Monks, and in Cathedrals by the Canons and others of the 
 Priesthood. 
 
Vlll ACCOUNT OF 
 
 year 1529 : he distinguished himself as a composer 
 about 1555, and was admitted that year into the 
 Pope's Chapel ; in 1571 he was elected Chapel 
 Master at St. Peter's, Rome. This eminent com- 
 poser, having brought choral harmony to a degree 
 of perfection that has never since been exceeded, 
 died in 1594. Dr. Aldrich adapted English words 
 to many of Palestrina's motets, particularly the 
 anthem, " We have heard with our ears." 
 
 Bird (Wm.) was chosen Organist of Lincoln 
 Cathedral in 1563, and admitted a gentleman of 
 the Chapel .Royal in 1569. He, in conjunction 
 with his master, Tallis, published in 1575 a col- 
 lection of their own compositions, entitled " Can- 
 " tiones Saerae." Bird's works were in his own 
 time in great repute both here and abroad, and 
 are still held in general estimation. His celebrated 
 canon, " Non nobis," will in particular remain 
 a perpetual monument to his memory. He died 
 in 1623. 
 
 Gibbons (Dr. Orlando) was Organist of King's 
 College, Cambridge, of which town he was a 
 native* In 1604 he was appointed Organist of 
 the Royal Chapels to James 1st : he was very 
 skilful in his profession, and approved himself 
 not inferior to any of his predecessors in genius 
 and knowledge. The characteristics of his music 
 are fine harmony, unaffected simplicity, and an 
 almost unexampled grandeur. He died in 1625. 
 His brother, Edward Gibbons, is styled by Ant.

 Wood, " the most admired Organist of the Cathe- 
 " dral Church at Bristow."* 
 
 Patrick (Richard) was Organist of Westmin- 
 ster Abbey in 1616. His Morning and Evening 
 Service is composed in a solemn and dignified 
 style. He died in 1627. 
 
 Batten (Adrian) was Organist and Vicar Cho- 
 ral of St. Paul's Cathedral in the reigns of Kings 
 Charles 1st and 2d : he died in the year 1640. 
 
 La wes (Wm.), son of Thomas Lawes, Vicar 
 Choral of Salisbury Cathedral, and a native of 
 that city, was admitted a gentleman of the Chapel 
 Royal Jan. 1st, 1602. He became much esteemed 
 for his compositions by King Charles 1st, who 
 honored him with his particular notice. He was 
 slain fighting in the cause of his Sovereign, at the 
 siege of Chester, in 1645. Fuller says that " he 
 " was respected and beloved by all who cast any 
 " looks towards virtue and honor." His younger 
 brother, Henry, was more distinguished for his 
 secular than his Church music : the poet Milton, 
 who was a discerning judge of musical merit, 
 wrote in his praise the sonnet beginning 
 
 " Harry, whose tuneful and well measured song." 
 
 Bryan (Albert) was scholar of John Tomkins, 
 and his successor as Organist of St. Paul's Cathe- 
 dral immediately upon the Restoration in 1660 
 He was an eminent musician and a composer of

 services and anthems ; as such his name occurs in 
 Clifford's Collection. He died in 1680, and was 
 buried in Westminster Abbey. 
 
 Rogers (Dr. Benjamin) was first a Chorister, 
 then a Lay Clerk of St. George's Chapel, Wind- 
 sor, and afterwards became Organist of the Ca- 
 thedral, Dublin, where he continued till the Irish 
 massacre in 1641, when he returned to Windsor, 
 and was again admitted to a place in that choir. 
 About the time of the Restoration he was chosen 
 Organist of Eton College, but resigned that situ- 
 ation on being appointed to a similar one at Mag- 
 dalen College, Oxford. Here he remained for 
 many years, till at length he was removed with a 
 pension from the College during his life, which 
 terminated in 1685. His compositions contain 
 great sweetness of melody and correctness of 
 harmony. 
 
 Wise (Michael) was a native of Salisbury, and 
 one of the first of the children of the Chapel Royal 
 after the restoration. He became Organist and 
 Master of the Choristers of Salisbury Cathedral in 
 1668, and in 1675 was appointed gentleman of the 
 Chapel Royal. In 1686 he was preferred to the 
 place of Almoner and Master of the Choristers 
 of St. PauPs Cathedral : he died at Salisbury in 
 August 1687. Wise's compositions for the Church 
 are held in the highest estimation for sweetness 
 of harmony and modulation. The first movement 
 of his anthem, " The ways of Zion do mourn,"

 as a specimen of grave and pathetic composition, 
 surpasses in Dr. Burney's* opinion any thing of 
 the kind which he had ever heard in this or any 
 other country. 
 
 Tucker (Rev. Wm,), one of the gentlemen of 
 the Chapel Royal to King Charles 2nd, and 
 Precentor of Westminster Abbey, died in 1690. 
 
 Carissimi (Giacomo) was Chapel Master of 
 the German Chapel at Rome about the year 1640. 
 He was considered at that time the best composer 
 of church music in Italy ; and from his produc- 
 tions it is generally supposed that Purcell partly 
 formed his style. He died at the age of ninety in 
 1690. Dr. Aldrich has adapted English words 
 to Carissimfs motets ; one of them, " I am well 
 " pleased," is known as an anthem in most 
 cathedrals. 
 
 Purcell (Henry) was born in 1658; he was 
 one of the children of the Chapel Royal, and aithe 
 age of 18 was appointed organist of Westminster 
 Abbey; in 1682 he became organist of the Chapel 
 Royal ; and in 1695 he died at the age of 37. 
 Purcell appears to have possessed a genius supe- 
 rior to that of any of his predecessors, together 
 with a depth of musical knowledge not inferior to 
 the most learned of them. His talents were not 
 confined to any particular manner or style of 
 composition ; for he was equally excellent in every

 thing he attempted, and it is doing but common 
 justice to his memory to acknowledge that his 
 works in general affect more powerfully than 
 those of almost any other author. 
 
 Child (Dr. William) was Organist of St. 
 George's Chapel, Windsor, and also of the Royal 
 Chapels in the reigns of Kings Charles 1st and 
 2nd, King James 2nd, and King William and 
 Queen Mary. He died in 1696 in the 90th year 
 of his age. 
 
 Hall (Henry, sen.) was Organist of Hereford 
 Cathedral ; and died in 1706. 
 
 Clarke (Jeremiah) was brought up under Dr. 
 Blow, who in 1693 resigned to him the situation 
 of Almoner and Master of the Choristers of St. 
 Paul's Cathedral, of which he was soon after 
 appointed Organist. In 1700 he became a gentle- 
 man extraordinary of the Chapel Royal, and in 
 1704 he was admitted joint Organist of that 
 Chapel together with Dr. Croft. He died in 
 1707. His compositions are remarkably pleasing 
 and natural. 
 
 Blow (Dr. John) was one of the first set of 
 children of the Royal Chapels immediately after 
 the Restoration, and became Organist thereof in 
 1673. He was also Master of the Choristers of 
 the Cathedral Church of St. Paul, which place 
 he resigned on being appointed Organist of West- 
 minster Abbey. Among his pupils were H 
 Purcell, Jer. Clarke, Dr. Croft, and many others

 of great reputation. His compositions for the 
 church, and his scholars who arrived at eminence 
 have rendered his name venerable among the 
 musicians of our country. He died in 1708. 
 
 Aldrich (Rev. Dr. Henry) appointed Dean of 
 Christ Church, Oxford, in 1G89, was a singular 
 instance of an unprofessional musician. His 
 learning and his skill in polite literature were 
 evinced by his numerous publications ; but amidst 
 a variety of honorable pursuits he found leisure to 
 study and cultivate music, particularly that branch 
 of it which related to his profession and office. 
 He enriched our Cathedrals with many admirable 
 compositions by adapting with great judgement 
 to English words many of the motets of Tallis, 
 Bird, Palestrina, and Carissimi, which had been 
 originally set to Latin words for the Roman 
 Catholic service. His abilities as a musician 
 rank him among the greatest masters of the science. 
 He died in 1710. 
 
 Richardson (Vaughan) was a pupil of Dr. 
 Blow, and Organist of Winchester Cathedral ; 
 died 1715. 
 
 Walkley (Anthony) was Organist of Salisbury 
 Cathedral ; died 1717. His compositions are very 
 pleasing, particularly his Te Deuni and Jubilate, 
 in the key of A. 
 
 Goldwin (John) was a pupil of Dr. Child, and 
 in 1G97, succeeded him as Organist of St. George's 
 Windsor. His music has a singularity in its

 modulation, which is uncommon and agreeable; 
 he died 1719. 
 
 Rosein grave (Daniel) was educated in the 
 Chapel Royal, and a fellow disciple of Purcell. 
 He was appointed Organist of Salisbury Cathedral 
 about the year 1689, which he resigned in 1698, 
 for a similar situation at St, Patrick's, in Dublin; 
 he died 1720. 
 
 Croft (Dr. William) was educated in the 
 Chapel Royal under Dr. Blow. He was Organist 
 of St. Ann's, Soho, and in 1700, admitted a 
 gentleman extraordinary of the Chapel Royal: 
 In 1708 he succeeded Dr. Blow, as Master of 
 the Children and Composer to the Chapel Royal; 
 also as Organist of Westminster Abbey. His 
 anthems are particularly distinguished for a grand 
 and majestic style of composition. Dr. Croft died 
 in August, 1727, of an illness occasioned by his 
 attendance at the Coronation of George 2d. 
 
 Steffani (Agostino) was Chapel Master to the 
 Elector of Hanover, which situation he resigned 
 to Handel, in 1708. The musical talents of Stef- 
 fani were of the most splendid kind; he died 1730. 
 
 Hine (William) was Organist of Gloucester 
 Cathedral, and Master to the late Dr. William 
 Hayes. He composed the Jubilate, which is 
 usually performed with Mr. 11. Hall's Te Deum ; 
 he died 1730.

 Dr. Robert Creighton, of Trinity College, Cam-

 bridge, who was afterwards Bishop of Bath and 
 Wells, and attended Charles 2d, during his exile. 
 In his youth he had been taught the rudiments of 
 music, and entering into holy orders, he sedulously 
 applied himself to the study of Church music, ia 
 which he attained such a proficiency as entitled 
 him to a rank among the ablest masters of his 
 time: in 1G94 he was appointed a Canon Resi- 
 dentiary, and also Chanter of the Cathedral Church 
 of Wells, at which place he died in 1736, at the 
 advanced age of 97. 
 
 Weldon (John) was born at Chichester, and 
 educated at Eton College School. He first learnt 
 music under John Walter, Organist of that 
 College, but leaving his other studies in pursuit 
 of this, he afterwards commenced a scholar to 
 Henry Purcell. He was a gentleman of the 
 Chapel Royal, and Organist in L708 : he was 
 also Organist to the parish Churches of St. 
 Martin's in the Fields, and St. Bride's, London. 
 Weldon is considered a sweet and elegant com- 
 poser of Church music; he died in 1730, and 
 was succeeded in the King's Chapel, by the late 
 Dr. Boyce. 
 
 Bishop (John) was educated under Daniel 
 Roseingrave, Organist of Salisbury Cathedral ; he 
 was first a lay singer in King's College Chapel, 
 Cambridge, and afterwards Organist of the Cathe- 
 dral and College of Winchester ; died 1737.

XVI ACCOUNT OF 
 
 Marcello ("Benedetto) a noble Venetian, was 
 
 born in 1(>8G; his compositions for the Church 
 are highly celebrated ; he ^et to music the whole 
 of the first 50 Psalms, which were afterwards 
 adapted to suitable words from our own version, 
 by Mr. Garth, of Durham; Marcello died at 
 Brescia, in 1739. 
 
 King (Charles,) was horn in the year 1G87, 
 and received the first rudiments of his musical 
 education under Jeremiah Clark : his compositions 
 for the Church (to which his talent was chiefly 
 confined) were numerous, and his propensity for 
 writing appeared so early, that in the 19th year 
 of his age, 1706, he composed his pleasing service 
 in F. : it does not appear by his later composi- 
 tions that either age or infirmity had extinguished 
 his fancy, for in the year 1747, when confined 
 by illness, he composed his full service in C, of 
 which the verse in the Creed " and was crucified, " 
 lias been justly admired ; he died in 1748. 
 
 Kelway (Thomas) Organist of Chichester Ca- 
 thedral; died 1750. 
 
 Greene (Dr. Maurice) was brought up in the 
 Choir of St. Paul's, under Mr. C. King, then 
 Almoner and Master of the Choristers, after which 
 he was bound apprentice to Mr. Brind, the 
 Organist; before he was twenty years of age 
 he was appointed Organist of St. Dnnstan's, and 
 in 17 IB, he succeeded his master (Brind) in his 
 situation as Organist of the Cathedral of St.

 Paul : on the death of Dr. Croft in 1726, he was 
 appointed Organist and Composer to the King's 
 Chapel. Greene was an intelligent man, and an 
 acute observer of the improvements in composition 
 and performance, which Handel and the singers 
 employed by him, had introduced into this 
 country : his melody is therefore more elegant, and 
 his harmony more pure, than those of his prede- 
 cessors, although by Dr. Journey considered less 
 nervous and original; he died 1755. 
 
 Travrrs, (John) received his musical educa- 
 tion in the Chapel of St. George, at Windsor, 
 and was afterwards put apprentice to Dr. Greene ; 
 about the year 1725 he became Organist of St. 
 Paul's Church, Covent Garden; and in 17;57, he 
 was appointed Organist of the Royal Chapel. 
 T) avers was a sound musician, and had formed a 
 close intimacy with Dr. Pepusch, with whom he 
 spent much of his time; he died in 1758, and 
 was succeeded in his situation at the Chapel by 
 Dr. Boyce. 
 
 Handel (George Frederick) born at Kalle, 
 Germany, in 1694; died in 1759; and was buried 
 in Westminster Abbey. The productions of this 
 great composer are too generally known to require 
 any comment on his name or character. His 
 works were so long the models of perfection in 
 this country, that they may be said to have 
 formed our national taste.

 Jomelli (Nicolo) born at Aversa, near Na-

 positions, which were chiefly in the Oratorio 
 style, are remarkable for elegance and expression ; 
 he died 1774. 
 
 Kent (James) born at Winchester 1700 ; at an 
 early age he was admitted into the choir of the 
 Cathedral under the instruction of Mr. Richard- 
 son, thence he became one of the Children of the 
 King's Chapel, which placed him under Dr. Croft. 
 In 1737 he was appointed Organist to the Cathe- 
 dral Church and Chapel of the College at Win- 
 chester. Kent was an excellent musician and 
 was considered by some competent judges to be 
 one of the best players of Dr. Croft's music in the 
 kingdom. As a composer, he attained the end 
 which should be the object of every writer in 
 sacred music, viz. a proper mixture of harmony 
 and melody, each tempering and relieving the 
 other; he died 1770. 
 
 Haye^ (Dr. William) was born at Gloucester, 
 1707, and was brought up under the tuition of 
 Mr. Hine, the organist, to whom he was articled. 
 Soon after the expiration of his apprenticeship he

 was appointed Organist of Worcester Cathedral ; 
 and in 173-3 was elected Organist and Master of 
 the Choristers of Magdalen College, Oxford, and 
 also to the professorship of music in that univerity ; 
 he died 1777 ; and was succeeded in the above 
 situations by his son, the late Dr. Philip Haves. 
 
 Henley (the Rev. Phocion) Rector of St. 
 Andrew's by the Wardrobe and St. Anne's, 
 Blackfriars, London ; died in 1778. 
 
 Woodward (Dr. Richard) Organist of Christ- 
 church Cathedral, Dublin, died 1778. 
 
 Shenton (Rev. Robert) Vicar of Hereford 
 Cathedral ; died 1778. 
 
 Boyce (Dr. William) born in 1710. An early 
 propensity for music being discovered in him, he 
 was placed as a chorister in St. Paul's under Mr, 
 C. King, then Master of the Children and Almo- 
 ner of that Cathedral ; he was afterwards taken 
 an apprentice by Dr. Greene, but not being per- 
 fectly satisfied with the theoretical knowledge he 
 had acquired under him, he attended the lectures 
 of Dr. Pepusch, perusing with sedulous attention 
 the works of the old Italian composers, as well as 
 those of his own country. In the year 1736 Dr. 
 Boyce was appointed one of the Composers to his 
 Majesty's Chapels Royal, and in 1758, on the 
 death of Travers, he succeeeded him as Organist 
 of the Royal Chapel; he died Feb. 1779. Dr. 
 Boyce was a most excellent ecclesiastical com- 
 poser, and an able master of harmony. His 
 productions, founded as well on the study of our 
 
XX ACCOUNT OF 
 
 own old masters, as on the best models of other 
 countries, bear a peculiar stamp and character for 
 strength, clearness, and facility. 
 
 Stephens (Dr. John) Organist of Salisbury 
 Cathedral, died 1781. 
 
 Nares (Dr. James) brother to Sir James 
 Nares, Knight, one of the Justices of the Court 
 of Common Pleas, was born in 1715. The early 
 part of his musical education he received in the 
 King's Chapel, under Mr. Bernard Gates ; after 
 which he finished his studies under the celebrated 
 Dr. Pepusch. In 1734 he was chosen Organist 
 of the Cathedral at York, and in 1756 he suc- 
 ceeded Dr. Greene, as Organist and Composer 
 to his Majesty's Chapels Royal. On the resigna- 
 tion of Mr. Gates, in 1757, he was appointed 
 Master of the Children of the Chapel Royal, 
 which in 1780 he resigned in favor of his pupil, 
 Dr. Ayrton; and died Feb. 1783. Dr. Nares 
 was a studious and sound musician, and his writings 
 show him to have been endowed with a very con- 
 siderable share of genius and learning. 
 
 Sacchini (Antonio) born at Naples in 1735, 
 was a most pleasing and graceful composer. He 
 wrote but little for the Church, with the exception 
 of his " Miserere," which was ordered by the 
 Queen of France to be performed at his funeral in 
 Paris in 178G. 
 
 Barrow (Thomas) one of the Gentlemen of 
 his Majesty's Chapels Royal and Lay Vicar of 
 Westminster Abbey ; died 1787. 
 
THE AUTHORS. XXI 
 
 Norris (Thomas) educated as a Chorister in 
 the Cathedral of Salisbury, under the Organist, 
 Dr. Stephens ; was afterwards Organist of Christ 
 Church, and St. John's College, Oxford; died 1790. 
 
 Mozart (Wolfgang) was born at Saltzburg, in 
 17-3(). Among his sacred compositions, his Masses 
 deserve the highest encomiums for beauty, ten- 
 derness, and grace ; no one could desire or con- 
 ceive a more exquisite consent between sound and 
 sense than is to be found in these compositions ; 
 they are daily becoming more familiar to our Ca- 
 thedrals, having been adapted to English words, 
 as Anthems, by several able musicians. Mozart 
 died in 1792, before he had completed his 3Gth 
 year; but in this short career he has gained a 
 name which must ever rank with the first of his 
 profession. 
 
 Cooke (Dr. Benjamin) was born in 1734. At 
 an early age he was placed under the tuition of 
 Dr. Pepusch, with whom he made a rapid pro- 
 gress in his musical studies ; when only 12 years 
 old he became deputy to Mr. Robinson, Organist 
 of Westminster Abbey, and successor to Dr. 
 Croft, at whose decease in 1762, he was ap- 
 pointed to that situation, and Master of the Cho- 
 risters. In 1782, lie succeeded Mr. Kelway as 
 Organist of St. Martin's in the Fields, after a se- 
 vere contest, in which Dr. Burney was one of his 
 most formidable opponents ; he closed a life of 
 great activity, September, 1793. Dr. Cooke's 
 
XX11 ACCOUNT OF 
 
 compositions are held in the highest estimation; 
 his Amen Chorus, which gained a prize medal in 
 177-3, and which used to be often performed at 
 the conclusion of Dr. Blow's Evening Service in 
 A. is a most splendid specimen of contrapuntal 
 invention. It has been justly observed that " no 
 one was ever less vain of superiority in an art, or 
 less sensible of it than Dr. Cooke ;" to his kind- 
 ness and amiable disposition, the writer of this 
 article, who had the good fortune to derive his 
 musical education from him, will ever bear ho- 
 norable testimony. 
 
 Mason (Rev. William) Precentor of York 
 Cathedral; died 1707. 
 
 Langdon (Richard) successively Organist of 
 Exeter, Bristol, and Armagh; died about 1798. 
 
 Battishill (Jonathan) was born in 1738 ; at 
 9 years of age he was placed in the Choir of St. 
 Paul's Cathedral, under the instruction of Mr. 
 Savage, to whom he was afterwards regularly ar- 
 ticled as a pupil ; soon after the expiration of his 
 apprenticeship he was appointed Organist of the 
 united Parishes of St. Clement's, Eastcheap, and 
 St. Martin's Orgar, and subsequently of Christ- 
 church, Newgate-street; he died in 1301. With 
 respect to the general character of Battishill's 
 compositions, they are marked by a peculiar 
 strength of idea, great force and justness of ex- 
 pression, a masterly disposition, and a happy 
 contrivance in the parts. 
 
THE AUTHORS. XX111 
 
 Arnold (Dr. Samuel) born in 1739, received 
 his musical education at the Chapel Royal, under

XXIV ACCOUNT OF 
 
 the Organist. Early in life he was honored with 
 the patronage of James Harris, Esq. grandfather 
 to the present Earl of Malmesbury, by whose 
 friendship he was recommended to the notice of 
 Bishop Lowth, which procured for him in 1782, 
 the appointment of one of the gentlemen of his 
 Majesty's Chapel Royal; in 1792 he was elected 
 Organist and Master of the Choristers of Salis- 
 bury Cathedral, which situations he resigned in 
 1804, with the unanimous consent of the Dean 
 and Chapter, to his son, the present Organist. 
 His compositions are chiefly for the Church, and

 excellent Anthems, are in constant use at Salis- 
 bury and other Cathedrals. He died 1820.
