Title

Benedicite [music manuscript] / Bishop Corfe.

Imprint

[S.l.] : [s.n.], [1916]

Physical description

1 manuscript score (1 leaf) ; 31 cm

Note

One leaf of 12-stave manuscript paper; one side occupied by the musical score, the other side blank apart from the staves.

Note

Apparently the work of a single hand, the music is written using blue-black ink, to this performance directions have been added using red ink.

Note

A setting of the canticle 'Benedicite' in an idiom similar to that of Anglican chant. There are 4 phrases or "chants", each one thematically related to the others. The 4th phrase, set to the 'Gloria Patri', is a proper Anglican double chant. The text of the canticle is distributed through the preceding 3 phrases thus: 1st phrase, verses 1-17; 2nd phrase, verses 18-26; 3rd phrase, verses 27-end [verse 32]. The work is in E major.

Note

Text begins: O all ye works of the Lord, bless ye the Lord.

Note
