Title
Domine salvum fac [music manuscript].
Imprint
[S.l.] : [s.n.], [s.d.]
Physical description
1 part of music (soprano of the chorus) ([4 unnumbered pages]) ; 30 cm
Note
A bifolium forming 4 pages of 12-stave manuscript paper.
Note
At head of the first page: "Chorus - Soprano." This is a manuscript copy of the choral soprano part only from a setting of 'Domine salvum fac Regem nostrum Georgium' in G major; the music occupies 2 and a half of the 4 pages of manuscript paper, the remaining 1 and a half pages being blank, apart from the staves.
Note
Text: Domine salvum fac Regem nostrum Georgium. Et exaudi nos in die qua invocaverimus te. [Quartetto. Andante. 73 bars tacet.] Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper et in sæcula sæculorum. Amen.
Note
Clearly and accurately written by the scribe (the only error is the omission of "flags" from a couple of notes in the last bar of line 10 of page 2), the paper and writing style may be early 19th century, moreover, the use of the term "Quartetto" is apt for that period; the musical style, in so far as it can be ascertained, is Haydnesque. The text "Regem nostrum Georgium" refers, perhaps, either to King George III or to King George IV.
Provenance
