Imprint

[S.l.] : Bland, [before 1797]

Physical description

1 score (pages 235, 170-171, [1]) ; 34 cm

Note

Title from caption on page 235.

Note

Page 170 is the verso of page 235; why this is the case presently remains obscure. Faint, in the top l.h. corner of page 235, is a printed figure which appears to be '28'.

Note

At foot of page 170: Bland.

Note

Includes a piece for 2 voices [TB] with introduction, apparently for a keyboard instrument, followed by a pair of pieces for 2 voices [SA] and continuo; the 2nd of this pair of pieces includes figured bass, unrealized.

Note

'Fill me a bowl' by Corfe was in circulation by December 1794; see the 'Scheme of performance' advertised by the Anacreontic Society, Uttoxeter, in: The Derby Mercury, December 18, 1794, page [4]. A manuscript copy of 'Fill me a bowl a mighty bowl' by Joseph Corfe, dated 1800, is listed in RISM, ID 806294251 (source: GB-Cu Add. MS 9113). It appears to be this same duet which is cited in ESTC (citation no. T186905); in this record the duet is attributed to James Corfe. A version of 'Fill me a bowl', without imitation between the voices, was the first song published in: A collection of songs for one, two, and three voices / set to musick by Mr. James Corfe opera terza (London : John Johnson, [without date]); see also: Betty Matthews "Handel and the Corfes" in The musical times, vol. 112, no. 1537 (March 1971) pages 231-232.

Note

'When Phœbus the tops', otherwise entitled 'The death of the stag', was previously published as a two-part song [SA] in a collection of English songs, the collection attributed to Handel (HWV 228).
