‘Fourth’ edition of a small practical manual of plain-chant, with examples, first published in 1651. Fabrizi, a Florentine about whom little is known, was maestro di capella at Santo Spirito in Sassia in Rome. The treatise was referred to by Bononcini in his Musico pratico; a ‘third edition’ of 1678 is mentioned by Fétis, but we can find no trace of that or the second, but there was a ‘fourth edition’ in 1689 of which the present is a reprint.

OCLC records copies at Berlin, Toronto, and Bayerisches Staatsbibliothek, to which we can add Kentucky and Brigham Young.

TANS’UR, William.

The Royal Psalmodist compleat: or, the universal-Harmony …

Unrecorded edition of Tans’ur’s Royal Psalmodist (first 1742), comprising seventy-three psalm tunes, a ‘Jubilate Deo’, a ‘Doxology’, ‘A New Magnificat’, and eleven anthems. It is based on the same selection (and plates) as he had issued in an edition of 1748 (BL only in ESTC), ‘Engraved and printed, by and for the author … and sold by the author; and in London, by J. Robinson’. But there are some changes here: Psalms 32, 41, and 126 are removed, Psalms 23 and 145 are added, Psalms 47 and 138 are in new settings, and there are four new anthems (on Psalms 47, 103, 105, and 136).

GREENE, Maurice.

Forty select Anthems in Score composed for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 Voices … Volume first [– second].

First edition. Greene was organist and composer to the Chapels Royal, and an admirer and sometime friend of Handel (their friendship expiring on the occasion of Handel’s quarrel with Buononcini). Forty Select Anthems, setting Psalms and other Biblical texts, is ‘the work on which his reputation mainly rests’ (Grove). Several anthems, such as ‘God is our hope and strength’, ‘I will sing of Thy power’, and ‘Lord, let me know mine end’, still find a place in cathedral services.
