Sung Italian words.

Provenance

Inscription, in pencil, at head of page [1]: "Terzzettino Sull onor M A Corfe".

Provenance

Stamped in gold letters on the upper board of this bound collection: "M. A. Corfe." This is Mary Ann Corfe (1797-1849), eldest child of Arthur Thomas Corfe and his wife, Frances, née Davies. Inscription, in ink, on upper endleaf of this bound collection: "C. W. Corfe Oxon."

Provenance

Bequeathed to the Archives of St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle by Brigadier Tim Hackworth, military knight of Windsor and a direct descendant of Joseph Corfe (1740-1820) and Arthur Thomas Corfe (1773-1863); subsequently donated by the Archives of St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle to Salisbury Cathedral Library, with the agreement of the family of the late Brigadier Hackworth.

Provenance

Salisbury Cathedral Library bookplate (20th century, reprinted 2019) with design based on the Dean and Chapter seal, and inscription “Sarvm Cathedral Library.”

Binding

19th-century; this collection must have been bound after 1830 as it contains a solo from 'Norma' by Bellini, first performed in 1831; now in archival box.

Copy-specific note

On page 2: "Price 1/^."

Copy-specific note

Inscription, in pencil, at foot of page 2: "N. B. The 3^d line must be taken an octave lower when sung by a Treble"; this is a curious directive, given that the 3rd line is written in the bass clef; as the baritone part starts on an upper b-flat, either it may mean that a treble should start on a middle-pitch b-flat rather than top b-flat, or "octave lower" may be a simple error and should read "octave higher"; in either case, the resulting pitch would be the same.

Copy-specific note

One of a collection of prints of vocal music bound together; in pencil, on upper endleaf, the inscription: "Già fan ritorno ... Blow gentle gales [H. R. Bishop] Deh t'arrendi [Donizetti] L'Alba Oh cara ... Oh never say Le faccio un inchino [Cimarosa]"
