PREFACE
Tins work has been undertaken with the object of supplying,
in a form convenient for reference, information regarding
the sources and composers of the music of The Church
Hymnary and the companion volume The Psalter in .Metro
and Scripture Paraphrases with Tunes.
The book is divided into two sections, historical and
biographical.
In the former section the aim has been to give under the
name of each tune, chant, and special setting, the exact title
and date of the book or other publication in which it originally
appeared. This is followed by such information as has been
obtainable in regard to the words for which the music was
composed, the changes which it has undergone, and any other
particulars of interest as to its usage and history. In a few
cases, in spite of much research, it has not been found possible
to name definitely the original source of the music, and in
others further investigation may reveal an earlier source than
that now cited ; but in each instance every care has been taken
to verify the statements made, and it is believed that these
may be taken as at least reliable starting-points for future
research. At the end of this section there is added a list,
arranged in chronological order, of all the works which have
been cited as sources.
In the biographical section will be found notices of all the
composers represented in The Church Hymnary and The Psalter
in Metre. These notices are necessarily very brief, and are
confined to the main facts of the composers' careers. For
fuller information as to their lives and works, reference must
be made to the musical and biographical dictionaries.
PREFACE
In the musical quotations from the older books the notation
has been modernised, and the G clef used uniformly for the
melodies.
The information as to tunes of German origin has been to
a considerable extent derived from the important work by
Dr. Johannes Zahn entitled Die Melodien der deutschen
evangelischen Kirchenlieder.
We have to express our thanks to the numerous friends and
correspondents who have favoured us with information ; and we
desire specially to acknowledge our indebtedness for much
invaluable help to the late Sir John Stainer ; the Rev. Mr.
Mearns, Ashby ; Mr. F. G. Edwards, Mr. J. E. Bumpus, Mr.
Henry King, and Mr. J. R. Griffiths, London ; and Mr. J. 0.
Anderson, Edinburgh.

In this edition of the Scottish P>ook of Common Order or

' Common ' tunes, so called to distinguish them from the
'Proper' tunes which were attached to particular psalms.
These common tunes are printed in a section by themselves
under the heading, ' The xii. Common Tunes, to the which
all Psalmes of eight syllables in the first line, and sixe in the
next may bee sung ' ; and the tunes themselves are named
as follows : Olde Common Tune, Kinges Tune, Dukes Tune,
English Tune, French Tune, London Tune, The Stilt, Dum-

The other four tunes are found in English Psalters of earlier
date. The first appearance of ' Abbey ' in an English Psalter is
in Ravenscroft's Whole Booke of Psalmes, 1621, where it is
classed as a ' Scottish Tune.'

This tune and ' Bon Accord ' are examples of what are called
in the Scottish Reformation Psalter, ' Tunes in Reports,' that is
containing passages in which the several parts follow each other
in phrases of imitation. The present tune appears for the first
time in the above-named edition of the Scottish Book of Common
Order. It is there placed among the Common Tunes, and is
named ' Montrosse Tone.' The tune ' Bon Accord ' is also in the
volume, but it had already appeared in 1625. In both of these
tunes the ' Trebble ' is marked as the ' Church part ' or melody.
In the Psalm book printed by Andro Hart's heirs in 1635, this
tune is set without a name to Psalm 2 1 . The name ' Aberfeldy '
seems to have been given by H. E. Dibdin, who included the
tune in his Standard Psalm Tune Book, 1851. There are
HISTORICAL
one or two slight differences (principally in the inner parts)
between the tune as now given and as printed by Raban and
Hart,
Absolutio. Hy. 17G. W. HATELV.

been included.
Composed for this hymn.
Adeste Fideles. Hy. 30, 31.
In spite of much discussion and investigation, the origin of
this tune, as well as that of the words with which it is
associated, remains verv obscure. It has been frequently stated
that the music was composed either by John Reading, who was
organist of Winchester College, and died in 1692, or by another
English musician of the same name, who was a pupil of Dr.
John I51ow, and died in 1764. This assertion seems to rest
solely on the authority of Vincent Xovello. In a collection
published by him in 1843, entitled Home .Music, the Congrega
tional and Choristers' I'.-alm and Hymn Hook, etc., the music
appears arranged as a psalm tune, set to Psalm 106. It is
headed 'Air by Heading, 1680,' and the following note is
appended: — 'John Reading was a pupil of Dr. lllow (the
master of Purcell), and was tirst employed at Lincoln Cathedral.
He afterwards became organist to St. John's, Hackney, and
finally of St. Dunstan's-in-tlu'-West, and St. .Mary, Woolnoth,
London. He published towards the end of the seventeenth
century a collection of anthems of his own composition, and his
productions are generally esteemed for their tastefully simple
melodies and appropriately natural harmonies. This piece
obtained its name of "The Portuguese Hymn " from the acci
dental circumstance of the Duke of Leeds, who was a director
of the Concert of Ancient Music, many years since (about the
year 1785) having heard the hymn first performed at the
Portuguese Chapel, and who, supposing it to be peculiar to the
service in Portugal, he introduced the melody at the Ancient
Concerts, giving it the title of "The Portuguese Hymn," by
6 THE MUSIC OF THE CHURCH HYMXARY
which appellation this very favourite and popular tune has ever
since been distinguished ; but it is by no means confined to the
choir of the Portuguese Chapel, being the regular Christmas
hymn, " Adeste Fideles," that is sung in every Catholic chapel
throughout England.' As Xovello was for many years organist
of the Portuguese Chapel, the latter part of the above note may
be taken as giving a correct account of how the hymn became
known beyond the Roman Catholic churches, and received the
name of ' The Portuguese Hymn.' Xovello's statement as to
the composer of the music is, however, a different matter. In
the first place, the date 1680 in the heading is certainly incon
sistent with the note, for the John Reading whose career is
described in the latter was not born till 1677. Further, nothing
in the least resembling the music of ' Adeste Fideles ' has been
found either in any of the second John Reading's published
works, or in two manuscript volumes in his autograph now in
the possession of Dr. W. H. Cummings. As to the claim of the
older John Reading, the organist of Winchester, no evidence
whatever has been produced in its favour ; and in the absence
of such, the mere name and date given by Xovello in 1843 seem
hardly worth consideration.
So far as has yet been ascertained, the earliest book in which
the music appears in print is a small volume entitled ' An Essay
on the Church Plain Chant. London : Printed and published by
J. P. Coghlan, in Duke Street, Grosvenor Square. MDCCLXXXII.'
The book is in three parts, and the ' Adeste Fideles,' with its
music, is in the second of these, which is headed ' Part Second,
containing several Anthems, Litanies, Proses, and Hymns, as
they are sung in the Public Chapels at London.' Xo composers'
names are given in the volume, except in the case of two
settings of the ' Tantum ergo,' which are said to be ' by Mr.
Paxton.' In his ' Advertisement ' to the public, Coghlan, the
publisher, says, ' It is necessary to observe that the Third Part,
or Supplement to this work, was not compiled by the Gentle
man who did the other Two Parts.' It seems highly probable
that the ' Gentleman ' so referred to was Samuel Webbe, senior,
for nearly all of the pieces in the second part of the volume
(including the ' Adeste Fideles ' and the tune now known as
HISTORICAL
' Melcombe ') appear again in Webbe's Collection of Motetts or
Antipbons, 1792, and several of them have his name appended
to them there as composer.
Although the Essay on the Church Plain Chant is at present
the earliest book known to contain the ' Adeste Fideles,' it is
found in manuscripts of older date. The earliest of these yet
discovered is a volume preserved at Stonyhurst College,
Lancashire. It is the work of Juhn Francis Wade, a priest
who seems to have employed himself in writing out music for
Roman Catholic families and institutions. The volume is
entitled ' Cantus Divrrsi pro Dominicis et Festis per annum.
Gloria Patri. Post Introitum. Kyrie. Gloria in excelsis.
Credo. Sanctus and Agnus Dei. Cum Hymnis ct Antiphonis
ad Elevationem and Benedictionem. Kt ex pnecordiis sonent
pra?conia. ^'icolaus King, Kjus Cantus. Joannes Franciscus
AVade, Scriptor. Anno Domini, MDCCLI.' The ' Adeste Fideles '
in four stanzas, with the music repeated to each, is the second
last piece in the volume, and is headed ' In Xativitate Domini
Hymnus.'
The words of the hymn have not been found in any manu
script or book of earlier date than that just described. They
appear in an edition, published in 1760, of The Evening Olh'ce
of the Church. The hymn is there introduced thus : ' From
the Nativity of our Lord to the Purification, exclusive ; whilst
the Benediction is giving, is sung Adeste Fideles, etc.' In
previous editions of this book, published in 1710, 1725, and
1748, the hymn does not appear. The full text seems to
consist of eight stanzas, of which the first, third, fifth, and
sixth, with, more rarely, the fourth, are those generally in use
in France ; while the first, second, seventh, and eighth represent
the English use. It is the latter cento which is found in the
Stonyhurst MS., in all the books now referred to, and generally
in all English collections, whether in the original Latin or
in translations.
The conclusion seems to be that the hymn and tune came
into use together, in the services of the Roman Catholic Church,
during the first part of the eighteenth century ; that they were
in circulation in manuscript for some time before they appeared
8 THE MUSIC OF THE CHURCH HYMNARY
in print, but that nothing definite can as yet be stated as to the
author of either words or music.

Pott, author of the hymn, states that the tune was repeatedly

The triple time form of the tune seems to have been introduced
early in the eighteenth century, and is the form usually found
in both English and Scottish collections down to a com
paratively recent date. An abridged version in common metre
and common time, under the name ' Westminster,' appeared in
Playford's Psalms, 1671, and in several other collections of later
date.

Though this volume has always been cited as the source of
the present tune, the first line and half of the second arc the
only parts of it which are really to be found there. The
entire tune has not been discovered in any earlier publication
than the following: — Cantica Spiritualia, oder Auswahl der
schonsten geistlichen Lieder iilterer Zeit, etc., vol. ii., Munich,
1847. In this it appears in its present form, set to the hymn
' Du meiner Seelen giildne Zier.' As the source of hymn and
tune, the editor of Cantica Spiritualia names the 1657 book,
of which the title is given above, and also Braun's Echo
Hymnodise Coelestis, 1675. The melody of the hymn ' Du
meiner Seelen, ete.,' in both of these books is exactly the same,
and is as follows : —
Dr. W. Baumker is of opinion that this, the original melody,
was arbitrarily altered by the editor of Cantica Spiritualia.

tune passed into various German collections, and in Bach's

at Jena, and that the latter, on his recovery, composed for it
the above melody. Winterfeld is of opinion that this tune was
composed by Johann Pachalbel of ISTurnberg, but Zahn states
that there is little foundation for this, and agrees with Wetzel
in attributing the melody to Gastorius.

is in D minor, as at present.

Composed for the hymn ' Shall we gather at the river,' of
which the composer is also the author.
Bedford. Ps. 32, 33. W. WEE ALL.
It is not possible to assign an exact date for the first
appearance of this tune, the oldest books containing it being
unfortunately undated. Probably the earliest of these is ' The
Divine Musick Scholars Guide, wth the Famous Mr. Tho.
Ravenscroft's Psalm Tunes in four parts. Corrected and newly
Reviv'd. To which is added a choice Collection of new Psalm
Tunes, Hymns, and Anthems . . . Collected and Printed by
Francis Timbrell.'
The tune is printed twice in this volume, first to Psalm 27
and second to Psalm 84. The latter is headed ' Bedford tune.
By Win. Wheal.'
It is in three parts, Cantus, Medius, and Bassus, the melody
being as follows : —
As set to Psalm 27, it is headed ' Bedford Tune,' without
name of composer. The melody is the same as above, except
in line 3, which reads thus —
The British Museum Catalogue gives '1715?' as the date
of Timbrell's book. This is probably too early, but a copy in
the possession of Sir John Stainer contains the inscription
'Thomas Bradford ejus liber, 1723.'
In 'A Choice Collection of Psalm Tunes, Hymns, and Anthems.
. . . Collected and Printed by Michael Broom, Singing Master,
Isleworth, Middlesex,' the tune appears again set to Psalm 84.
It is headed ' Bedford Tune, by W. Wale, organist of Bedford,
B. of M.,' and the melody is the same as in the setting to
HISTORICAL 19
Psalm 27 iu Timbrell's book, the third line having a I) where the
usual form has a C. ] 'room's book is also undated, but a copy
in the Euing Library, Glasgow, has the autograph of a former
owner and the date 1731. In Matthew Wilkins's J'ook of
Psalmody, also undated, but probably issued about 1730, the
tune is set to Psalm 84, the melody being the same as in the
setting to that psalm in Timbrell. Mr. Havergal states in his
Old Church Psalmody that he had found the tune in The
Psalm-Singers Magazine, 1729. This has not been verified, as
the book cannot now be discovered, but the tune is contained in
'The Harmonious Companion ; or, the Psalm-Singer's Magazine.
. . . Collected by I>. Smith, and Corrected by Mr. P. Prelluer,
1732.' Here the tune is set to Psalm 149, and the syncopated
accents which occur in every line in the books already referred
to, disappear from lines i and 3, being retained only in lines
2 and 4. The slur in the last line appears in Riley's Parochial
Music Corrected, 1762. In all the older psalmodies and in
most modern books the tune is in triple time. Probably its
first appearance in common time is in William Gardiner's
Sacred Melodies, 1812. Here it is set to the hymn ' Our God,
our help in ages past,' the melody being as follows : —
In his Music and Friends, published in 1838, Gardiner gives
information as to the sources of some, of his Sacred Melodies,
and says regarding the above : — ' This fine old tune was written
by "Wm. "NVheal, organist of Bedford. ( h-iginally printed in the
key of F and in triple time, I have changed the key to 1 ) and
written it in common time, a measure that is more stately and
better accords with that solemn grandeur in which it is dis
posed to move.'
It is somewhat curious that a tune bearing very close re
semblance to 'Bedford' appeared in a German Roman Catholic
Gesangbuch, printed at Ihiderstadt in 1724. The melody is
20 THE MUSIC OF THE CHURCH HYMNARY
set to a German translation of Xavier's hymn ' 0 Deus ego
amo Te,' and is as follows : —

Belmont. Hy. 583. Ps. 35.
This tune has been ascribed to Samuel Webbe, to his son
Samuel Webbe, jun., and also to Mozart ; but there are no
sufficient grounds for assigning its composition to any of these.
It appears to be an adaptation from a melody in William
Gardiner's ' Sacred Melodies . . . adapted to the best English
Poets, vol. i., 1812.' This consists of eight lines, and is set to
Dr. Watts's hymn ' Come hither, all ye weary souls.' The first
half of the melody is as follows : —
No name of composer is attached, but in a catalogue appended
to his Music and Friends, 1838, Gardiner cites it as his own
composition. The tune appears, practically in its present form,
in A Church Hymn and Tune Book, 1859, where it is said to
be harmonised by J. Bentley ; in Routledge's Church and Home
Metrical Psalter and Hymnal, 1 860 ; and in other books of
about the same date.

The tune is adapted from the chorus Xo. 2 of that work.
When Dr. W. H. Cummings was organist at Waltham Abbey
22 THE MUSIC OF THE CHURCH HYMNARY
it struck him that this chorus would be a suitable setting for
the hymn ' Hark, the herald angels sing.' He copied out the
parts, and had the tune sung by the choir at Waltham Abbey.
Finding that it was received with favour, he published the
adaptation in 1856, and it soon found its way into many hymn
books, the first of these being the Rev. R. R. Chope's Congre
gational Hymn and Tune Book, 1857, where the tune is called
' St. Vincent.' When included in Hymns Ancient and
Modern in 1861 an unwarrantable alteration was made at
the end of the twelfth bar, two slurred minims B and A
being substituted for the single semibreve A of the original.
In The Church Hymnary the original note has been restored,
and also the dotted notes of the original at the beginning of
lines 5, 6, 7, and 9.
It is somewhat curious that some years previous to the
publication of Dr. Cummings's adaptation, Mendelssohn in
writing to his English publishers on the subject of an English
translation of the Festgesang, said : ' I must repeat the wish I
already expressed in my letter to Mr. Bartholomew. I think
there ought to be other words to Xo. 2. If the right ones are
hit at I am sure that piece will be liked very much by the
singers and the hearers, but it will never do to sacred words.
There must be a national and nierry subject found out, some
thing to which the soldier-like and buxom motion of the piece
has some relation, and the words must express something gay
and popular as the music tries to doit.'

The tunes are without names, and no composers' names are

This tune is named ' Bur ford ' in Gawthorn's Harmonia
Perfecta, 1730.
In many modern collections ' Burford ' is attributed to Henry
Purcell, but there seems to be no evidence for this. Probably
the earliest books in which it is so assigned are Cotterill's
Christian Psalmody, 1831, and ]STovello's Psalmist, 1835.
The tune is found in a very large number of the eighteenth
century psalmodies, and in none is Purcell named as composer.

of Andrew Hart. Anno Dom. 1635.
This edition of the Scottish Book of Common Order contains
thirty-one common tunes, the present being No. 29, headed
' Cathnes Tune.'
The edition is a most important one from a musical point of
view. It is the only one in which the proper tunes, printed at
the head of the psalms, are harmonised throughout ; it contains
a greatly increased number of common tunes ; and it has, in
addition, eight psalms harmonised in Reports.
The psalms are preceded by a preface ' To the gentle reader,'
signed ' E M.' An investigation by Dr. David Laing has
shown, that these are the initials of Edward Millar, an Edin
burgh musician, who graduated M.A. in the University there in
1627.
In this preface Millar mentions the reasons which induced
him to undertake the work of editing the book, among them
being ' an abuse observed in all churches, where sundrie
Tribles, Bases, and Counters set by diverse authors, being sung

and used everywhere.' The music is full of evident misprints,
but the tune bears close resemblance to 'Coleshill.'

The Metrical Psalter of the French Protestant Church was
compiled at Geneva, under the direction of John Calvin, and
was the work of two writers, Clement Marot and Theodore
HISTORICAL 35
Beza. Begun with a collection of eighteen psalms printed
at Strasburg in 1539, it was of gradual growth, and was
not finally completed till 1562. The origin of the melodies
to which the psalms were adapted is involved in some
obscurity, but M. Douen, in his important work, Clement
Marot et le Psautier Huguenot, has established the fact that
from about 1541 to 1557 the task of providing suitable music
for the psalter was intrusted by Calvin and the ( 'on>istory
to Louis Bourgeois, whose name appears in the above title.
"Which of the melodies so provided are the composition of
Bourgeois, and which were adapted by him from existing
sources, it is now almost impossible to determine. The
present melody appears for the lirst time in the above edition.
It is set to the metrical version of the Ten Commandments

same tune was set to the version of the Commandments found

The present tune is found seven times in this work. It
is headed ' Part of the melody taken from a hymn tune,' and
is named ' Rockingham.' This name has been generally
retained in English books. In Scotland it seems to have
appeared first in the collections edited by R. A. Smith and
John Wilson. It is there attached to Paraphrase 35, and
called 'Communion,' doubtless from the fact that this para
phrase is almost invariably sung on Communion occasions.
In both these books the second note of the melody in the
second line is flattened, but this reading has now been uni
versally dropped in favour of the original.

enormous number of MSS. at Wolfenbiittel, it has not been
found possible to verify this statement.

This tune is in the second {tart of the work, entitled ' Part
Second, containing several Anthems, Litanies, Proses, and
Hymns, as they are sung in the Public Chapels at London.'
It is headed 'The Hymn at Benediction,' the words being
'Tantum ergo sacramentum,' etc. To this, as to nearly all
the music in the volume, no composer's name is attached, but
many of the pieces are certainly by Samuel "\Vebbe, and it is
highly probable that he was the editor of the work. In his
Mass in A, printed in A Collection of Modern Church Music,
1791, and again in A Collection of Masses . . . for the use of
Small Choirs, 1792, this setting of the ' Tantum ergo' forms
the closing number ; and it is again included in A Collection of
Motetts or Antiphons . . . By S. Webbe, 1792. In the last
volume many of the pieces are distinguished by having the
name ' Webbe ' printed at the close, the inference being that
those not so marked are not his composition. As the present
is one of those without his name, it remains a doubtful point,
whether it is an original composition by Webbe, or a melody
of older date arranged by him. The present form of the tune

for your forthcoming book . . . The "Dies Irse" has given
me much anxious thought. I am convinced that no single
unvarying melody will bear to be sung to it throughout, with
out becoming thoroughly wearisome, and somewhat marring
the grandeur of the words. The slight variations which I
have introduced do not add to the difficulty of the composition
(I have been most anxious to keep it as easy as I possibly could,
consistently with the necessities of the words), but I think they
will be found to relieve the hymn considerably.'

original. Xo information is given in the above magazine as
to the original music by Schulz from which the arrangement
was made, and although a large number of his songs and other
works have been examined, nothing at all resembling it has
been found. The metre of the refrain in the original German
poem does not suit the present tune, so that the latter could not
have been written for it, but in a Gesangbuch published at
Dortmund in 1893, the hymn appears set to this tune, with the
words of the refrain altered to suit it.

•which Sett the Tenor [highest part] singeth the Church tune,
In this book ' Dundee ' appears for the first time in the form
of a psalm tune, but it is probable, as has been pointed out by
the Rev. H. Parr, that it is an adaptation from one of the
tunes in Christopher Tye's Actes of the Apostles, 1553. (See
under 'Gethsemane.') The tune in question is that set to
chapter iii., the treble being as follows : —
Damon's work consists of eight separate books containing two
complete settings of the tunes, each in four parts, namely,
Cantus, Altus, Tenor, and Bassus. In one of these sets, called
on the titles the ' former booke,' the melody is in the Tenor ; in
the other, called the ' second booke,' it is in the Cantus. No
complete set of either of these is now known, but it may be of
interest to give in score the Cantus, Altus, and Bassus (the
Tenor being missing) of the present tune as they appear in
Damon's 'former booke.' The tune is set to Psalm 116. It
HISTORICAL
47
will be observed that although the ' former booke ' is that in
which, according to the title-page, 'the Tenor singeth the
Church tune,' yet in this particular case the melody is in the
Cantus part.
The tune is next found in 'The Whole I>ooke of Psalmes
with their wonted tunes .... Wherein the Church tunes an>
carefully corrected, and thereunto added other short tunes
usually song in London, and other places of this Kealme. . . .
Imprinted at London by Thomas Kst, 1592.'
In a table at the end of this volume the tune is included
among 'those tunes newly added in this booke.' It is set to
Psalm 1 16, the harmony being by (1. Kirby. The melody is as
follows : —
48 THE MUSIC OF THE CHUECH HYMNARY
No name is here attached to the tune, but in three subsequent
editions of the same book it is called ' Suffolk Tune.' In
Ravenscroft's Psalter, 1621, it appears four times, and is named
' Windsor or Eaton,' being classed in the Index among ' English
tunes.' The name ' Windsor ' is that by which it has con
tinued to be known in England. The earliest appearance of
the tune in Scotland is in the edition of the Book of Common
Order, printed by A. Hart in 1615. It is printed, as under,
among the Common Tunes, and headed ' Dundie Tune.' (See
under 'Abbey.')
In Raban's edition, 1633, the sharp seventh is introduced at
the penultimate note, and in that of 1635 the accidental is also
inserted at the last note of lines i and 3. The form of the
second line in the above is found in nearly all Scottish books
down to the early part of the nineteenth century. Since then
the present form has become general.

where it is classed in the Index as a ' Scottish tune.'

Dr. Lowell Mason arranged the ist, 2nd, yth, and 8th lines
as a psalm tune, and published it in the Xew Carmina Sacra,
1850, under the name ' Eva,' with the initial 'H.' as composer.
Mr. Havergal did not approve of this, and in 1870 he re
arranged the tune, and wrote thus regarding it : ' As the
American arrangement was a sad estrangement, I have re
constructed the tune after a more correct form.'
In the arrangement by the composer each line begins and
ends with a semibreve. Except in that particular, the com
poser's version has been adhered to in The Church Hymnary
both in respect of melody and harmony.

headed 'A New Tune to the i4gth Psalm of the Xew Version,

It is generally believed that Dr. Croft was concerned in the pro
duction of the above book, but the evidence in support of his
being the composer of the present tune is not entirely conclusive.
In collections issued in the end of the eighteenth and beginning
of the nineteenth centuries it is frequently attributed to
Handel; but as Handel did not come to England till 1710, it is
almost impossible that a hymn tune by him should have been
published in an English collection in 1708. Further, the tune
is found in many collections published during Handel's

residence in England, and in none of them is lie mentioned as
composer ; while in Riley's Parochial Music Corrected, pub
lished in 1762, within three years of Handel's death, the tune
is headed 'Hanover tune, the author not known.' In the
collection of tunes called the People's Music Book, edited by
J. Turle and E. Taylor in 1844, the tune is called Old 104^1,
and has Handel's name attached to it ; but in the Index it
is credited to Dr. Croft, and the following note added : — ' This
Tune has been ascertained to be the composition of Dr. Croft,
by satisfactory evidence, since the page in which it is con
tained was printed.'
Happy Land. Hy. 592.
The source of this melody, which has been described as an
' Indian Air,' has not been traced. The history of its connec
tion with this hymn is thus told by Mr. Andrew Young, the
author of the latter, in the preface to a volume of poems pub
lished in 1876: — 'Many years ago I was spending an evening
with a family of friends, and the lady of the house played
several musical compositions of great beauty. Among these
was a sweet and tender air which charmed me exceedingly. On
asking the name of it, I was told it was " an Indian Air called
' Happy Land.' " It immediately occurred to me that such a
melody could not fail to be popular in Sunday schools, if
wedded to appropriate words. And accordingly I wrote the
little hymn which has now spread over all the world, and been
translated into almost all languages. It was sung daily in my
classes in the Xiddry Street School ; and on a visit by Mr.
James Gall he was so delighted with the music and hymn, that
he noted down the simple air, had it harmonised, set to the
words, and published in his Sacred Songs; and from his
father's well-known printing and publishing house it was copied
into hymn books everywhere, and so became a general
favourite.' The full title of the book thus referred to is
' Anthems and Sacred Songs, arranged for Two, Three, or Four
Voices, by Alexander Hume.' It bears no date, but must have
been issued about 1839. The hymn and tune are included in
Sacred Melodies for Children, edited by C. II, Eateman, 1843 ;

melody being a partner in the firm of J. Nisbet & Co., the pub
lishers of the book. The harmony is by Dr. Rimbault.
Holywood. Hy. 106, 625.
This tune seems to have come into use in the Roman Catholic
Churches in England about the same period as the ' Adeste
Fideles,' but nothing definite has yet been discovered as to its
composer or source. It is found in An Essay on the Church
Plain Chant, 1782, in Webbe's Collection of Motetts, etc., 1792,
and in the Wade MS. at Stonyhurst College. (See under ' Adeste
Fideles.') In all of these it is set to the Hymn at Benediction,
' Tantum ergo sacramentum.' The Stonyhurst MS. contains
five, and the ' Essay ' four settings of the same words in addition
to the present. The melody in all the above books is, with
very trifling exceptions, the same as in the present version. A
slightly different form appeared in Gardiner's Sacred Melodies,
vol. ii., 1815. It is there headed 'Subject from the Missal
Book,' and is set to the hymn ' Lord, dismiss us with Thy
blessing.' The same arrangement and adaptation appeared in
Sacred Harmony, for St. George's Church, Edinburgh, 1820;
and this form of the tune, under the names ' Dismission ' and
' Augustine,' is found in several collections since that date.

name 'St. Sebastian' in A Hymnal for I'se in the English
Church, edited by the Hon. and Rev. -I. drey, 1866; and is
there marked 'Composed for this work.' The Kev. J. (In-y

In books published in 1840 and in 1854 it is ascribed to
Sir John Stevenson, and in some books it has been credited
74 THE MUSIC OF THE CHURCH HYMNARY
to Dr. Samuel Howard. The latter statement is entirely
without foundation, and is a mistake arising from the name.
Huddersfield. Ps. 71. M. MADAN.
A Collection of Psalm and Hymn Tunes, never published

In the original the second half of the tune is as follows : —
Set to the hymn ' My hiding-place, my refuge, tower, and
shield art Thou, 0 God.'
Hull. Hy. 465.
The origin of this tune is very obscure, and it is quite
uncertain whether it was originally the melody of a secular
song or of a hymn tune. In 'The American Musical Mis
cellany : a Collection of the Xewest and Most Appoved (sic)
Songs, set to Music. Printed at Northampton, Massachusetts,
by Andrew Wright, 1798,' it appears as under, set to a song
called ' The Indian Philosopher ' : —
In regard to this, Mr. Hubert P. Main, of Xew York,
writes : ' I have seen it in earlier books, but when it was
first adapted as a sacred hymn tune I do not know for certain.
I think, however, it was used by the early Methodists as far
back as 1770, and possibly came to America from England
with the early Methodist preachers. It was one of the
favourite hymns of the early Methodists and Congregation-
alists ; generally called " Ganges," and credited to S. Chandler,
HISTORICAL
1790; but this is evidently an error. Chandler wrote a tune
about 1790, or earlier, commencing as follows: —
but the only similarity to "Ganges" is in the iirst line.'
In 1731 the Rev. Joshua Leavitt included the tune in The
Christian Lyre, and stated that it ' was originally composed for a
song of Dr. Watts ' ; but he does not give the original words, nor
the name or date of the publication in which it Iirst appeared.

The tune is here attributed to Dr. Xares, but it has not been
found in any older collection, and the statement as to the
composer lacks confirmation.
Ilkley. Hy. 117. J. 1',. DYKES.
The Leeds Tune I look, edited bv J. Lancu-ter, iS(>8.
The tune is there anonymous, being headed ' Presented to
the editor,' and is set to the hymn 'There is a calm for those
who weep.' In the Free Church Hymn I look, 1882, it is set
to the present hymn, and is again without composer's name.
In an article in the Strand Maga/ine for .July 1895, a facsimile
was given of the tune in J >r. Uykes's handwriting, set to the
hymn ' Sun of my soul '; and the writer of the article stated
that it was an unpublished tune, and had been 'given by
Dr. Dykes shortly before his death to a friend, among whose
papers it had lain for many years.' The facts are that the
tune was composed by Dr. Dykes for 'Sun of my soul,' and
given in MS. to Mr. Snowdon, vicar of Ilkley, for the use of
the choir of hi.s church. Dr. Dykes never consented to, and
was possibly not aware of, its publication in the Leeds Tune
76 THE MUSIC OF THE CHURCH HYMNAEY
Book. It may have been given to the editor of that book
by a member of the choir or some other friend at Ilkley.
The harmony of the tune seems to have been altered more
than once by Dr. Dykes. The present is believed to be his
latest version.

dated Dec. 1885.)
This tune is there called ' Cephas,' and is marked ' Composed
expressly for this work.' It is not referred to any particular
hymn, but was probably written for ' Rock of Ages.'
In Memoriam. Hy. 586. J. STAINEK.
Hymns Ancient and Modern. Enlarged edition, 1875.
Composed for this hymn.
This tune was written in the following circumstances : — The
committee engaged on the music of the above were meeting at
the Langham Hotel, London, and when this hymn came up
for consideration it was found that though they had several
tunes before them, none were considered satisfactory. It was
suggested that a new tune might be written by one of the
committee, and Sir Henry Baker proposed that Sir John
Stainer should retire to his (Sir Henry's) bedroom, and try
what he could do. Sir John complied with the suggestion,
and in a very short time returned with the present tune, which
was at once adopted.
In Sabbato. Hy. G02. W. II. MONK.

has not, however, been traced to any earlier source.
Innsbruck. Hy. 41G. H. ISAAC.
The melody has been generally attributed to this composer.
So far as known, it first appeared in print in ' Kin ausszug guter
alter fin newer Teutscher liedlein. Xiirnberg, 1539.' It is
there set to the song ' Insbruck ich muss dich lassen ' in the
following form : —
Later the melody was adapted to the hymn ' 0 Welt ich
muss dich lassen,' and later still to Gerhardt's hymn ' Xun
ruhen alle Wa'ldcr."
The melody appears in a large variety of forms in German
collections from the above date to the present day. The form
of the melody here, with the exception of the last line, is that
adopted by ]>ach in his 'St. Matthew Passion' and elsewhere.
The harmony is also largely his. The last line has been
modified to suit the metre of the hymn.

This melody is one of several set to the hymn ' Jam lucis

that date to some of the short versicles and responses occurring
in various church offices.

8o THE MUSIC OF THE CHURCH HYMNARY
It also appeared in The Juvenile Harmonist, published in
1843, where it is ascribed to ' Bilby.' The hymn appeared
without music in Bilby's Infant Teacher's Assistant, 3rd edit.,
1834. It nas been doubted whether he composed the tune,
but his son, Mr. Henry Bilby, claims for his father both hymn
and tune. It has been suggested that the tune may be based
on one which appeared in The Christian Lyre, New York,
1832, but the latter seems to resemble the present tune only in
respect of a few phrases and the rhythm of the refrain.

Parochial Psalmody : A Xew Collection of the Most Ap

The above seems to be the earliest collection in which the
HISTORICAL 8 1
tune was printed, but it was certainly circulated in manuscript
for some time previously.
In 1854 the composer issued a volume entitled ' Poems and
Songs by Neil Dougall, with a Memoir of the Author.' The
following passage occurs in the Memoir: — 'One day K. A.
Smith and the late John Taylor, who was then Precentor in
the Middle Parish Church, paid him (Dougall) a visit. . . .
After some conversation Smith said, "Anything new doing,
Mr. Dougalll no scraps to divert us?" Mr. ])nugall went to
a drawer ami brought the iirst few scraps of paper he could lay
his hand on. Smith took up one, and hastily humming it
over, said, "A very pretty melody; and what do you call it?"
" It's not christened yet," was the answer ; " but do you observe
anything peculiar about it? '' " I do," said Smith ; " it is on the
Caledonian scale, the same as ' Morvcn.'" "Yes; the same as
your tune." " Xo, no ; not my tune," said Smith. " Will you
oblige me with a copy of your nameless tune?" " AVith
pleasure," said the composer, "and we'll christen't 'Kil-
marnock ' ; " and this ended the conference.'
Kilsyth. Ps. 70.
The melody from which this is adapted is found in
' Geystliche Lit-dcr, Leipzig, 1545.'
It is set to the hymn ' Allein /u dir Herr Jesu Christ,' and
consists of seven lines. The material of the iirst three lines of
the present tune is traceable in the original, but there is
nothing corresponding to line 4.

This, the second edition of Sandys's metrical version of the

parts, Treble and I»ass. The present is the tune set to
Psalm 32, harmonised by Sir John Stainer for The Church
Hymnary. The tunes are anonymous in the 1638 edition, but
those of later date give Henry Lawes as the composer.

doubt that it was composed by Gregor himself.
The harmony is by Sir John Stainer.

not acknowledged to Martin, but is stated to be an old melody.
Leoni. Hy. 302.
The history of the connection of this hymn and tune appears
84 THE MUSIC OF THE CHURCH HYMNARY
to be as follows : — The hymn by T. Olivers was written about
1770, and is founded upon the Hebrew Yifjilal, or Metrical
Doxology sung at the close of the synagogue service on the eve
of the Sabbath. Leoni was then chorister at the Great
Synagogue, Aldgate, London. Olivers applied to him for the
melody to which he was in the habit of singing the Yir/dal, and
published the hymn in tract form, with the following title : —
' A Hymn to the God of Abraham. In Three Parts : adapted
to a celebrated air sung by the priest Signior Leoni, at the Jews
Synagogue in London.'
The form of the melody in The Church Hymnary, so far as it
differs from that hitherto in use, is in accordance with that
found in ' A Handbook of Synagogue Music for Congregational
Singing, 1889, edited by the Rev. F. L. Cohen.' Mr. Cohen
states that this is ' the most correct form of the melody at
present in use.'
Leuchars. Ps. 169. T. L. HATELY.
Scottish Psalmody, 1858.

The tune is there named ' Xewtoun,' and the melody is the same
as the present, with the exception of line 3, which reads thus —
This form is found in the collections of Bruce (1726),
Brenmer (1756), and many other Scottish books, down to about
1820; principally in the books issued in the ea*t and north of
Scotland. The present form of the melody seems to have
appeared first in Playford's Psalms, 1671, and is that found in
all English books, and also in Moore (1762), Holden (1766),
and other books published in the /reft of Scotland. It is the
form found in R. A. Smith's Collection, 1825, and since that
date has become universal. Another variation in the melody is
the substitution at the fourth note of line 2 of the sixth or

found in the Supplement to the JSrew Version of the Psalms,
1708; in some editions of Playford ; in Chalmers's Collection,
Aberdeen, 1748 or 1749; and in one or two other books
published in the north of Scotland.

In the above book the tune is named ' St. Oswald.' It is set
in the key of G, and contains slight differences in the harmony
as compared with the present arrangement, which appeared in
Hymns Ancient and Modern, Appendix, 1868. It was doubt
less revised by the composer for that work.
In the Life of the composer it is stated that ' Dr. Dykes's
friends remember his telling them that the tune to " Lead,
kindly Light " came into his head while walking through the
Strand in London.' The Rev. George Huntington relates the
following incident : ' I had been paying Cardinal Xewnian a
visit. ... I happened to mention his well-known hymn " Lead,
kindly Light" ... I ventured to say, "It must be a great
pleasure to you to know that you have written a hymn treasured
wherever English- speaking Christians are to be found ; and
where are they not to be found ? " He was silent for some
moments, and then said with emotion, " Yes, deeply thankful,
and more than thankful"; then, after another pause, "But
you see it is not the hymn, but the tune, that has gained the
popularity ! The tune is Dykes's, and Dr. Dykes was a great
master." '

Philadelphia, by Benjamin Carr. The Air from an ancient
Spanish Melody. Printed from the condensed score of the

This melody is said to be a Sicilian boat-song. The original
Latin words are a hymn addressed to the Virgin, beginning
'<) sanctissima, <) piissima dulris Virgo Maria.'
In the edition of -I. G. Herder's collected works, Tubingen,
1807, part 8 of the section entitled ' Zur schonen Literatur und
Kunst,' a German translation of the above is given with the
present melody. It is headed ' An die Jungfrau Maria. Lin
sicilianischer Schifferlied,' with the following note : ' Als schonste
Probe italianischer Volkslieder steht hier, statt vieler, das
sicilianischer Schifferlied mit seinen einfachen sanften Melodic
im Original und in einer hie/.u singbaren Uebersetxung.' So
far as has been discovered, its earliest appearance in an Lnglish
collection is in ' The Psalms of David from a Poetical Version, by
the Rev. James Merrick . . . with new music collected from
the most eminent composers, by the Rev. \V. I). Tattersall,
1794.' It is there set to the lirst seven verses of Psalm 19,
and is styled ' Sicilian Hymn.'

Church Hymns with Tunes, 1874.
Set to the hymn ' 0 Strength and Stay, upholding all creation.'
Martyrdom. Ily. 236. Ps. 81. II. WILSON.
Composed in the end of the eighteenth century and first
printed on single slips for the use of music classes. The original
form of the melody is in common time. Its first appearance in
triple time seems to have been in R. A. Smith's ' Sacred Music
sung in St. George's Church, Edinburgh, 1825.' There it is
designated ' Old Scottish Melody,' and the harmony is stated to
be 'by Mr. Smith.' It also appeared in The Seraph, a selection
of Psalms and Hymns, edited by J. Robertson, and published
in Glasgow in 1827. There it is also in triple time, and a foot
note states that ' the above tune " Fenwick " or " Martyrdom,"
and by some called " Drumclog," was composed by Mr. Hugh
Wilson, a native of Fenwick.'
The publication of the tune by R. A. Smith seems to have
been the occasion of a legal dispute as to its ownership, but
abundant evidence was produced to show that Wilson was
without doubt the composer. About fifty years ago a writer in
The Psalmodist said, ' I well remember the day it (" Martyrdom ")
was first sung in St. George's, Edinburgh, for Dr. Thomson then
said to me, " 0 man ! I could not sing for weeping." '
Martyrs. Ps. 82.

'Abbey.') Its first appearance in England seems to be in
Ravenscroft's Psalter, 1621, where it is classed among 'Scottish
Tunes,' and is in triple time. Playford and other English
editors follow Ravenscroft in this respect. In all the old books,
HISTORICAL 93
both Scottish and English, the tune is in the Dorian mode as in
the present book, but many editors have introduced changes
into the tune in order to force it into the modern minor mode.

follows : —
From this the present tune was arranged by the Rev. "W. H.
Havergal, and published in his Old Church Psalmody, 1847.
National Anthem. Hy. 511.
The origin of both words and music of this hymn is still, in
spite of much investigation, very obscure. Its use as the
National Anthem dates from about 1740, in which year it was
sung by Henry Carey at a public dinner. About two years
later both words and tune were printed in Harmonia Anglicana,
and in 1745 they again appeared in the Gentleman's Magazine.
In neither of these publications was the authorship of words or
music attributed to Carey, and it was not till 1795 that his son
George S. Carey claimed the authorship for his father. Dr.
Arne, who arranged the anthem for performance in 1745,
stated that ' it was a received opinion that it was written for
98 THE MUSIC OF THE CHURCH HYMNARY
the Catholic Chapel of James n.' On various grounds it is
probable that this is the case, but although resemblances to the
melody have been traced in various old English airs, its actual
source is still undiscovered.

in slightly varying forms in books of the eighteenth century,

This volume was issued for the use of the congregation of
English and Scottish exiles which had been formed at Geneva,
and of which John Knox was for a time co-pastor. It was known
as the ' Order of Geneva,' and in its completed form was adopted
by the Church of Scotland in 1564 as the ' Book of Common
Order.' The second portion of the volume contains metrical
versions of the psalms with the following title, ' One and Fiftie
Psalmes of David in Englishe metre, whereof 37 were made by
Thomas Sterneholde, ad the rest by others, etc.' These fifty-
104 THE MUSIC OF THE CHURCH HYMNARY
one psalms consist of forty-four by T. Sternhold and J. Hopkins
which had been printed in England in 1549, with seven by W.
Whittingham, one of the leaders in the Genevan congregation.
Additions were made to the mimber of the psalms in 1560 and
1561, and the English and Scottish psalm books were completed
in 1562 and 1564 respectively, the Scottish version forming a
part of the Book of Common Order above referred to. The two
collections are identical as regards about two-thirds of the entire
number of psalms, but of the remainder different versions were
adopted by the English and Scottish editors.
Each of the fifty-one psalms in the Genevan book is furnished
with a tune, but nothing further is known as to the origin of these,
nor as to who was responsible for the selection and arrangement
of the music in the volume. In later editions, notably that of
1561, a number of tunes were taken from the French Protestant
Psalter.
The present tune is that set to Psalm 29. It was retained in
all subsequent Scottish editions, but was not included in the
English Psalter.

The present tune is set to the 8ist and also to the 77th Psalm,
both of these versions appearing for the first time in this edition.
In the complete Scottish book printed in 1564, a different
version of Psalm 81 was inserted and the tune is also different,
but Psalm 77 is the same as in the English book, and is set to
the present tune. There are some points of difference in the
tune as printed in the various editions, the chief of these being
that it is sometimes in common and sometimes in triple time.

As stated under ' Commandments,' the Metrical Psalter of the
French Protestant Church was of gradual growth. In 1551
appeared the first instalment of the work of Theodore Leza,
consisting of thirty-four psalms. Among these was the i34th,
and the present melody is attached to that psalm. Its original
form is as follows : —
The first edition of the Anglo-Genevan Psalter in 1556 (see
under 'Old 2gth ') did not contain any version of Psalm 100.
That by William Kethe, 'All people that on earth do dwell,'
appeared in an edition printed at Geneva in 1561, containing
eighty-seven psalms, and in another printed at London the same
year, containing eighty-three psalms. It is an unsettled point
which of these two editions was issued first. In both of them
the present tune is attached to this psalm, and has ever since
remained indissolubly associated with it.
Old 124th. Ps. 176.
This tune appears in the 1551 edition of the French Metrical
Psalter. (See above under ' Old iooth.') It is set to the version
of Psalm 124, one of the thirty -four by Theodore 15eza. The
English version by William Whittingham, which with slight
changes is that still in use, is found set to the present tune in an
edition containing sixty-five psalms printed (probably in England)
in 1560 ; but there is ground for supposing that it appeared two
years previously in an edition issued in Geneva, of which no
copy has yet been discovered. AVhittingham certainly based his
version on the French, probably with the view of its being sung to
io6 THE MUSIC OF THE CHURCH HYMNARY
the French tune. This will appear from a comparison of the
opening verse in the two versions. Beza's is —
Or pent Men dire Israel maintenant
Si le Seigneur pour nous n'eust point este
Si le Seigneur nostre droit n'eust porte
Quand tout le monde a grand' fureur venant
Pour nous meurtrir dessus nous s'est jette.
Whittingham's is (spelling modernised) —
Xow Israel may say, and that truly,
If that the Lord had not our cause maintained ;
If that the Lord had not our right sustained,
When all the world against us furiously
Made their uproars and said we should all die.
It is a curious fact that although the Scottish Reformers in
compiling their Psalm Eook were largely indebted both as regards
words and music to the Church of Geneva, yet this is the only
case in which from the Reformation to the present day the
same psalm and tune have continued to be used together in the
churches of John Calvin and John Knox. Two incidents in
which the psalm and tune have a place may be referred to, one
being from Genevan, the other from Scottish history. One of
the last attempts made by the Dukes of Savoy to crush the Pro
testant movement, and reconquer the town of Geneva was made
in 1602, and is known as the Escalade. The attack was
repulsed by the bravery of the citizens, and when the conflict
was over, Theodore Beza, then eighty years of age, returned
thanks for the victory, and gave out the i24th Psalm to be
sung. Since then it has always been sung in Geneva, on the
1 2th December, the anniversary of this event ; and on a monu
ment erected to commemorate the same, one of the reliefs
represents Beza at the door of the cathedral giving out the
psalm. The other incident is the well-known one connected
with John Durie, one of the ministers of Edinburgh, who was
banished from the city for using too great freedom of speech
against the king's designs. On 4th December 1 582 he re-entered
the city amid the rejoicing of the populace, the scene being
thus described by Calderwood : ' At the Netherbow they took
HISTORICAL 107
up the 1 24th Psalrue, " .Now Israel may say," etc., and sung in
such a pleasant tune in four parts, known to the most part of the
people, that coming up the street all bareheaded till they enter
in the kirk, with such a great sound and majestic that it moved
both themselves and all the huge multitude of the beholders,
looking out at the shots and over stairs, with admiration and
astonishment. The Duke (Lennox) himself beheld and reave his
beard for anger : he was more allrayed at this sight than anie
thing that ever he had scene before in Scotland.'
Old 134th. Hy. 115. Ps. 155.
The tune of which this is an adaptation appeared in the 1551
edition of the French Metrical Psalter. (See above under ' Old
looth.') It is set to the version of Psalm 101 by Marot (re
placing a ditl'erent tune found in the earlier editions), and is as
follows : —
In the 1561 edition of the Anglo-Genevan Psalter, the tune
appears as under, set to Psalm 134 : —

Possibly the fourth and fifth notes here are due to a misprint,
as those of the original (G instead of JJ flat) are restored in all
other editions. With the exception of these two notes, this
form of the melody is retained in all the editions of the Scottish
Psalter, but those of the English Psalter show some variations.
In all of these the third line is the same as at present, while
line 4 is found in two forms. The earlier editions from 1562
have

Orientis Partibus. Hy. 432.
In some parts of France, notably at Beauvais, during the
HISTORICAL 109
Middle Ages, there was celebrated on the I4th January a
church festival known as the Feast of the Ass. It was in
tended to commemorate the flight into Egypt. On this occasion
a young woman holding a child in her arms was seated on an
ass, and after a procession through the streets of the town, the
ass, with its burden, was led into the principal church and took
its stand beside the high altar while mass was celebrated.
During the service a hymn was sung, written in a mixture of
mediaeval Latin and old French, of which the first lines were
' Orientis partibus adventavit asinus.' The melody of this
hymn has been preserved, and from it the present tune was
adapted, and published by li. Redhead in his Church Hymn
Tunes, 1853. M. Fulix Clement has traced the melody to a
manuscript preserved in the Library of Sens, entitled ' Office
de la Circoncision a 1'usage de la ville de Sens.' In his Xotice
sur les Chants de la Sainte Chapelle, 1852, M. Clement states
that this ' Office ' is the work of Pierre de Corbeil, Archbishop
of Sens, who died in 1222. He further says : ' Among the items
composing this office, there is a piece which has been called
" Prose of the Ass " (" Prose de 1'ane "). Xothing in this piece
justifies the opinion, which several writers hostile to Cathol
icism have endeavoured to maintain in regard to a feast, in
which the ass played a burlesque and ridiculous role. The
French refrain, and two of the verses cited by MM. Dulaure,
Millin, and Michelet, do not exist in the Sens manuscript, which
is older by two hundred years than that of Beauvais, which
these historians have consulted. . . . These writers have taken
the parody of the Prose for the Prose itself.' The melody, as
quoted by M. Clement, is as follows : —

The origin of this melody is still obscure. So far as at
present known, the above book contains its earliest appearance
as a hymn tune. It is set to the hymn ' Grosser Gott, wir
loben dich,' as follows : —
It i.s associated with the same hymn in many later German
books, both Catholic and Protestant. Its earliest appearance
in a Protestant collection seems to be in Schicht's Choral-Buch,
published at Leipsic in 1819. .It is there set to the above words
in the following form —
HISTORICAL 1 1 1
The choral-book edited by Jakob and Richter in 1873 contains
a setting of the melody ascribed to Peter Ritter, a Mannheim
musician born in 1760. This gave rise to the opinion, which
had the support of the late Dr. Rimbault, that the tune was
composed by Ritter ; but it is hardly conceivable that a melody
by Ritter could appear in a book published in Vienna while
the composer was still in his teens. Further, the tune appears
in several German books issued during Ritter's lifetime, and in
none of them is he designated as the composer.
The tune seems to have been first set to English words in
vol. ii. of the Sequel to Weyman's Melodia Sacra, published in
Dublin about 1844. It there appears as a long metre tune called
' Stillorgan,' in the form now known as ' Ilursley,' and is set
to the hymn ' Jesus, and shall it ever be.' The name ' Hursley '
is that of the parish of which the Rev. J. Keble was vicar, and
it was doubtless given to the tune when it came to be associated
with his hymn ' Sun of my soul.'

five times in his ' St. Matthew Passion.' The form of the
melody used by him is that adopted here, and the harmony is
also mainly his.

a full description of the 1 562 Psalter, and says ' a copy of it
now lies before me.' Unfortunately, however, this copy cannot
now be traced, and no other is known. If it is the case that
it contains ' Rochester,' it is somewhat singular that the tune is

collections of the eighteenth century. Probably the earliest to
include it are those published by John and James Green. No
trace can be found of the first two editions of Green's book,
but the title of the third is given by the Rev. Henry Parr, as
follows : ' A Collection of Choice Psalm Tunes in Three and
Four parts ; with New and Easie Psalm Tunes, Hymns, and
Spiritual Songs . . . Third edition, 1715.'
In this and the subsequent editions of Green's collection, the
melody of ' Worksop ' is as follows : —

In 1841, Mrs. Luke, the author of this hymn, visited the
Normal Infant School in Gray's Inn Eoad. She says : ' Among
the marching pieces at Gray's Inn Eoad was a Greek air, the pathos
of which took my fancy, and I searched Watts and Jane Taylor,
and several Sunday school books, for words to suit the measure ;
but in vain. Having been recalled home, I went one day on
some missionary business to the little town of Wellington, five
miles from Taiinton, in a stage-coach. It was a beautiful spring
morning, it was an hour's ride, and there was no other inside
passenger. On the back of an old envelope I wrote in pencil
the first two of the verses now so well known, in order to teach
the tune to the village school.' The hymn so written and the
HISTORICAL 143
tune referred to, have remained associated, but nothing further
seems to be known of the origin of the latter. They were printed
in the Sunday School Teacher's Magazine, at the end of the
volume for 1841.

edition (1690) of the above work, with the initials J. H., which
are known to stand for Jacob Hintze.
The tune has been frequently attributed to J. Rosenmiiller.
This mistake seems to have arisen from the fact that the above
hymn, ' Alle Menschen,' etc., was written for the funeral of a
HISTORICAL 145
Leipzig merchant iu 1652, and was printed with music by
Rosenmiiller. This music, however, is totally different from
the present tune.

Set to the hymn ' Now to the Lord a noble song.' The tune
has been assigned to Dr. Burney, but there seems to be no
evidence in support of this. It is without composer's name in
the above collection, while several tunes by Burney have his
name duly attached to them.
Trust. Hy. 501. J. B. DYKES.
The Hymnal, with Tunes Old and New, New York, 1874.

Composed for the hymn ' Rock of Ages,' and originally named
' Faith.' The present form of the last line is by the composer's
son, Mr. J. St. 0. Dykes, and was substituted for the original
at the request of Dr. Dykes's representatives.

Veni Creator. Hy. 136.
This melody has been associated with the hymn ' Veni
Creator Spiritus ' ever since that hymn came into use in the
services of the Church, not later than the tenth century. The
first of the two forms here given is that adopted in Hymns
Ancient and Modem. It differs to some extent from that
found in the pre-Ixeformation ' Hymnale Sarum,' which is as
follows : —

the German Protestant hymn books. It is found in Geistliche
Lieder, Wittemberg, 1535, set to Luther's translation of the
Latin hymn.
Veni Domine Jesu. Hy. 535. J. BARNEY.
The Congregational Mission Hymnal, 1890.
Composed for this hymn.
Veni Immanuel. Hy. 109.
Hymnal Noted. Part II., 1856.
In that book this melody is said to be ' From a French Missal
in the National Library, Lisbon.' These Missals have all been
examined by the Rev. W. Hilton of the English College, Lisbon,
but this melody is not to be found in them. In all probability
it is not a genuine mediaeval melody, but has been made up of
a number of plain-song phrases, most of these being found in
settings of the Kyrie. The tune in its present form cannot be
traced to an earlier source than the Hymnal Noted, and the
likelihood is therefore that the adaptation was made for that
book to suit Dr. Neale's translation.

original has not been discovered in any of that composer's
works. In his Music and Friends, 1838, Gardiner gives some
information as to the sources of his Sacred Melodies, and states
regarding the present that it ' is somewhere in the works of
Beethoven, but where I cannot now point out.'

The bass is figured, and at the beginning of the volume there is
the following note : ' For the accommodation of those who do not
understand thorough Bass, it is explained in Small Xotes, which
may be Played or Omitted at Pleasure.' From this it will be
seen that at the beginning of the second line the small notes of
accompanying harmony have now been adopted as the melody,
while the original notes of the melody have been transferred to
the alto part. Apparently this change was allowed and approved
by the composer, for he adopted it when he included the tune
in his Collection of Sacred Music, published in 1863 ; and he
gave his express sanction to the present form of the tune when
published in Church Melodies, edited by Dr. Henderson, Paisley,
in 1856. Other forms of the tune have appeared in dilferent
collections.

appear, Psalni 84 being set to the tune known as ' Old Common

Psalm is again set to ' Winchester.' Tlie name of the tune

Scottish Book of Common Order. (See under ' Abbey.')
The name of the tune there and in all old Scottish books is
' The Stilt.' Its earliest appearance in England is in Ravens-
croft's Whole Booke of Psalmes, 1621, where it is classed as
a ' Xortherne Tune,' and named ' Yorke.' In this work it is
found with three different harmonies, two of these being by
John Milton, the father of the poet. This has given rise to
the mistake committed by many later compilers, who have
assumed that the harmoniser was also the composer of the
melody.

CHANTS
Note. — In regard to many Chants it is difficult to state with certainty
in what book they were first printed. It must be understood
therefore that in many cases the date of the collection cited
is not to be taken as that of the composition or earliest use of
the Chant. Many of them were doubtless in use at an earlier
period, and would be found in the manuscript, or privately
printed, collections belonging to the various Cathedrals and
Churches.

A Collection of Tunes and Chants for Public Worship, com
piled by the Rev. Wm. Harrison. . . . The arrangement by Mr.
Jno. Hopkins, 1848.
The above is the earliest collection in which the chant has
been found. There and in more recent collections it is attri
buted to Dr. Aldrich, but it is doubtful whether it is really by
him. It does not appear in any of the older collections which
contain his chants.

The chant is there assigned to ' Mr. Davis.' In the Rev. R.
Harrison's Sacred Harmony, vol. i., 1784, it appears as a short
metre tune, and in vol. ii., 1791, as a chant. In both cases
Dr. Boyce is named as the composer, but as Yandernan was a
Gentleman of the Chapel Royal, and published his collection
while Dr. Boyce was organist there, it is quite probable that he
is correct as to the composer of the chant.
Bullinger in E flat. Hy. 562. E. AY. BULLIXGER.
There is some dubiety as to the history of this chant. It
appeared, set to the present hymn, in The Children's Hymn
Book, 1881 ; the editor of that book having received it direct
from Dr. Bullinger. The latter writes, on 3ist August 1900,
' I certainly composed the metrical chant you refer to some
years ago.' It appeared, however, in The Bristol Tune Book,
1863, where it is assigned to 'AY. Reynolds,' and set to the
hymn ' My God and Father, while I stray.'

SPECIAL SETTINGS
Blessed be Jehovah. Hy. 637.
In its present form this seems to have been first printed in
Sacred Harmony for the use of St. George's Church, Edinburgh,
1820; the arrangement being most probably the work of R. A.
Smith. It is an adaptation of a melody found in various forms
in books of the seventeenth century, where it is always associated
with the Latin hymn ' Stabat mater dolorosa.' In a Roman
Catholic Gesangbuch published at Mainz in 1661 it appears as
follows : —

was made.

in 1808 succeeded Thomas Garland as organist of Norwich
Cathedral, retaining his office at St. Peter's ; died in conse
quence of a paralytic stroke, June 3, 1809 ; buried at St.
Peter's, Mancroft. There is some doubt as to whether Dr.
Beckwith was baptized John Christmas, or whether his second
name was only a nickname. In the works he published he is
described as John Beckwith, but in the register of his burial
the name is stated as ' John Christmas Beckwith, married man,
an organist of this parish,' and it is by this name he is generally
known. Some years ago an endeavour Avas made to find in
what parish Dr. Beckwith was born, but without success.

Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, July 9, 1838. When twenty-
six years of age he went to Chicago, receiving employment
from Dr. G. F. Root, the composer, and while there his time
was mainly spent in conducting musical classes and in com
posing sacred melodies suitable for Sunday schools. Although
originally of the Methodist persuasion, he entered the choir of
the First Congregational Church, Chicago, in 1871, and became
superintendent of its Sabbath schools, three years later joining
Major Bliss in evangelical work. Although a poor man, he
gave to this cause the royalty of his Gospel Songs, which was
worth some thirty thousand dollars. His death was a sad one.
It took place in the great railway disaster at Ashtabula, Ohio,
U.S., December 30, 1876. He succeeded in escaping from the
car, but lost his life in attempting to save his wife. 'Mr.
Bliss,' says the Rev. Dr. Julian, 'is usually known as "P. P.
Bliss." This is found on the title-page of his collection. On
his own authority, however, we are enabled to say that his
name originally stood thus, " Philipp Bliss." Early in life he
separated the final p from his Christian name, constituted it a
capital P, and thus produced "P. P. Bliss.'"
Blow, John, said to have been born at Xorth Collingham,
Xotts, 1648. The records of that parish, however, do not

204 TIIE MUSIC OF THE CHURCH IIYMXARY
Courteville, Raphael, was son of Raphael Courteville, one of
the gentlemen of the Chapel Royal, who died December 28,
1675. The organ from the Chapel Royal was presented by
Queen Mary in 1691 to the Church of St. James's, West
minster; and on September 7 of the same year (1691) a
Raphael Courteville, who had been previously a chorister in
the Chapel Royal, was appointed the first organist, at a salary
of £20 per annum and ^4 for a blower. ' It has been
supposed,' says Mr. J. A. Fuller Maitland in the Dictionary
of National Biography, 'that Courteville died in 1735, and
was succeeded by his son of the same name ; but as the vestry
minutes of the parish, in which all appointments, etc., are care
fully recorded, contain no mention of such a change of organists,
while no record of the father's death can be found, we are
compelled to believe that the existence of the son is a mere
assumption, made in order to account for the long tenure of the
post by a person or persons of the name of Courteville. This
conclusion is strengthened by various entries in the vestry
minutes; in January 1752-53, and again in June 1754, letters
are written to him warning him that unless he attended
personally to the duties of the post he would be dismissed.
Whether he endeavoured to perform the duties himself after
this we do not know, but he was certainly not dismissed ; and
shortly afterwards an assistant, "Mr. Richardson," was appointed.
On June 12, 1771, it was reported to the vestry that Courte
ville gave this assistant only one quarter of his salary for doing
the whole work, and he Avas thereupon ordered to share the pay
ment equally with Richardson.' Courteville died in June 1772.
Croft, William, son of Mr. William Croft; born at Xether Eat-
ington, Warwickshire ; bapti/.ed December 30, 1678; chorister
of the Chapel Royal under Dr. John Blow ; generally believed
to have been appointed first organist of St. Anne's Church,
Soho, 1700, holding the office till 1711; but according to
the History of the Parish of Soho, published in 1899, the
records of the church show that the Christian name of the
organist named Croft was Philip, not William. The matter was
more fully discussed in an article on Croft in the Musical Times
BIOGRAPHICAL 20:
for September 1900, by the editor, Mr. F. G. Edwards. Croft
was appointed a gentleman of the Chapel Royal in 1700 ;
joint-organist of the same along with Jeremiah Clark in 1704,
and sole organist on the death of the latter in 1707 ; organist
of Westminster Abbey in 1708. He received the degree of

at Greenock, December 9, 1776. His father (a wright by trade)
was impressed into the service of his country, and died in the
island of Ceylon, when Neil, the subject of the present notice,
was about four years of age. He (Neil) afterwards removed to
Cartsdyke with his mother, living in a small property which
was now inherited by him. He was kept regularly at school
till he was fifteen years of age. Fond of boating and the sea,
like most boys brought up in a seaport town, he determined to
be a sailor, and in 1791 was bound an apprentice on board the
ship Britannia. After three years of a seafaring life, he was
the victim of an unfortunate gun accident, by which he lost his
eyesight and his right arm. In 1798 he was urged by friends
to attend a singing-class taught by Mr. Robert Duncan, pre
centor of the East Parish Church, Greenock. He objected,
thinking people would laugh at one of his age joining a singing-
class ; but a friend offering to accompany him, he consented.
So rapid was his progress in the study of music under Mr.
Duncan, that in the autumn of 1799 his friends urged him to
BIOGRAPHICAL 207
open a singing-class, which he held annually till 1844, when he
was compelled hy infirmity, and especially the failure of his
voice, to give up teaching altogether. In 1800 he gave his

choir in his native town. "From Massachusetts he removed
to Savannah, where he was clerk in a bank. Here he con
ducted the psalmody of the large Presbyterian church, and
compiled his first collection of Church music. Obtaining leave
of absence from the bank, he bent his steps to Philadelphia,
and offered the copyright of his book to the publishers, if he
might but receive a few copies for his own use. They all
declined the oiler; and when the young enthusiast went to
Boston, he fared no better. He was about to return to
Savannah, when he met a musical gentleman who desired to
examine the work. The gentleman expressed great satisfaction
with it, and, with Lowell Mason's permission, showed the manu
script to the Board of Management of the Boston Handel and
Haydn Society, of which he was a member. That Society
published it, giving the author an interest in the work. It
became immensely popular, and speedily ran through seventeen
editions. This success decided Lowell Mason's course of life.

Beecher's church, and commenced the work of lecturing and

Whitcher, was born at Reading, Berks, November 16, 1780.
His father was a silk-weaver in Paisley, but owing to a depres
sion in trade, had left that town and settled in Reading in 1774.
Smith gave very early evidence of his genius for music, but his
father insisted on placing him in his own workshop. The
family returned to Paisley in 1800, and in 1803 Smith, who
was suffering in health from his confined employment, and who
showed no aptitude for his father's trade, was at last allowed to
follow his inclinations, and to begin work as a teacher of music.
In 1807 he was appointed precentor and session-clerk of the
Abbey Church, Paisley. For this appointment he was largely
indebted to Dr. Boog, senior minister of the parish, who, him
self a lover of music, had discovered Smith's merits, and become
one of his warmest friends. In 1810 he published a small
collection of psalmody, entitled Devotional Music, Original and
Selected, and he gave considerable assistance to Dr. Andrew
Thomson, of St. George's, Edinburgh, in the compilation of
Sacred Harmony for the use of St. George's Church, 1820.
The result of his connection with Dr. Thomson was, that in
1823, when the precentorship of St. George's became vacant, he
was asked by the kirk -session if he would be willing to accept
BIOGRAPHICAL 247
the po.st. He replied in the affirmative, and on the unanimous
request of the kirk-session, the Town Council gave him the
appointment. Under his direction, St. decree's attained a fore
most place among the churches of Edinburgh in respect to its
music. He edited several collections of sacred music, which
have had a marked influence on psalmody in Scotland. He died
in Edinburgh on 3rd January 1829, and was buried in St.
Cuthhert's churchyard, the large attendance at his funeral
bearing witness to the universal esteem in which he was held.

THE HYMNS AND HYMN WRITERS
OF THE CHURCH HYMNARY. By the Rev.
JOHN BROWNLIE. Crown 8vo, cloth, pp. viii + 364,
price 35. 6d.
Scotsman. — ' An interesting and instructive supplement to the
"Hymnary," and cannot but serve to foster the intelligent use of that
noteworthy compilation of sacred verse.'
North British Daily Mail. — 'Mr. Brownlie has well condensed the
vast mass of facts and biographical details and has most admirably
grouped and arranged it all. It will be a well-read volume for many
years to come in very many Scottish households.'
Aberdeen Free Press. — 'That Air. Brownlie has done his part with
thorough knowledge and appreciation is manifest throughout its pages.
The work will certainly enhance the interest of the " Hymnary," impart
ing as it does in brief and rememberable form the salient facts concerning
the contents of a work that is fast winning its way into the congregations
and households of Scotland, and has already been circulated by hundreds
of thousands.'
Dundee Courier. — ' In Mr. Brownlie's volume there will be found the
most complete information, given in a manner that cannot fail to please
the reader. ... It ought to be much appreciated by the public, for it is
the best companion to the " Hymnary " that is ever likely to be pub
lished.'
Irish Times. — 'A delightful book. ... It would be impossible to
praise too highly the skill and care of the author in editing and in comment.
He has been at immense pains to be full and accurate.'
Northern Whig. — ' Mr. Brownlie's biographical notes and comments
are most interesting and suggestive, the book forming an important and
informing companion to the " Hymnary." '
Presbyterian. — ' This admirable book, which is a fitting fellow to the
" Hymnary." '
Free Church of Scotland Monthly. — ' Mr. Brownlie's book should lie
on every minister's study table alongside of the " Hymnary," and the
singing in our congregations will be all the more hearty and intelligent
as our people become acquainted with it. We have nothing but sincere
praise for this book. The table of consensus at the end is specially
valuable, and will be of service in a variety of ways.'
Guardian. — ' Mr. Brownlie's criticisms and judgements on hymns and
hymn writers are discerning and independent, and we have found that we
generally agree with his verdicts. . . . His criticisms ought to help much
towards encouraging a cultured and wholesome taste in hymns. This
work, and the " Hymnary" which it illustrates, should be on the shelves
of every student of English hymnology.'
HENRY FROWDE, EDINBURGH, GLASGOW, BELFAST, AND LONDON.

Study of the Bible,' from iS.s. 6d. With Scottish Metrical Psalms, on
ordinary paper, gd. extra ; on Oxford India paper, is. extra.
Glasginu Herald. — ' There can be no doubt that the practical difficulties to which the
liishop of Gloucester refers have had considerable influence in preventing the Revised
Version from attaining to a larger popularity. . . . No one can question the value of this
two-version edition to teachers, and indeed to all careful Bible readers.'
Scotsman. — ' Ministers and Sunday-school teachers will readily appreciate the
advantages of such an edition of the Bible. The liishop of Gloucester, who has himself
done so much for the elucidation and explanation of the Scriptures, writes a preface for
the volume.'

100,000 references. Demy Svo, pp. 1625, and 18 Coloured Maps,
153. ; and in leather bindings.
Expository Times. — ' Whatever the subject may be, get this book, turn to the subject,
it is sure to be here, and you find all the texts that belong to it. ... Its place is its own.
It is perhaps as useful, perhaps as indispensable, as a concordance or a dictionary. It
will save time as they do, it will give important instruction. It is superfluous to add that
the book is extremely handsome in appearance and workmanship.'
British Weekly (Or. MARCUS Dous).— 'A great advance on the "Concordances"
with which we have been hitherto satisfied, furnishing us, as it does, with a well-arranged
survey and analysis of all that Scripture says on any given topic.'
