253565Paris: unpublished undated; wartime France our speculation. Three related items: play musical notation and costume watercolors. Play runs perhaps sixty leaves typed recto-only on 12x9 inch mimeo'd flimsies which are hard to count bound with brass brads // the hand-indited sheet music runs 107p. on 12x9 near-cardstock // the costume watercolors = 6p. on oblong 8x11 alkaline paper. All three fascicles are enclosed in a homemade folder hand-embellished. Items are worn with age and handling but reasonably sound; a review of contents will not be a problem. We suspect that immaturity and French doggerel may pose problems to judge by the drawings orange & black which strike us as banal. A consigned item; consigner has read parts our French too poor to follow suit and headed his thumbnail sketch of this item "Teen-Age Gods Playing Games" --the drawings do portray all of the gods as in slim youth so we presume consigner got it right. He also suggests that item was composed under the nazi occupation evidently because other authorial work took place then but also and only possibly because of satirical content. Consigner did research: "Most of Borda's d. 1959 surviving published and recorded music is in the military march category. The duo also worked together on another musical production in 1942 entitled 'Lever a ridaeu'. Valrey issued a small volume of poems Mon petit ami Cupidon in 1942. unpublished unknown books
1820651501820. Original calf-backed marbled boards 7 x 10 inches. "Universal Church" stamped in gilt on spines. Five Volumes with first page indexes approx. 225 pp. plus 8 additional loose leaves. Signatures loose page numbers erratic covers well worn. Text pages have been printed with staves musical notation and lyrics are added in ink. Manuscript music in various hands consisting mostly of hymns with some secular pieces from the origins of the Universal and Unitarian churches. Three of the books are titled for "treble" two with a printed label one hand-written and two of these have a similar song set although they include some different titles in different order so that the books do not appear to be a completely matched set for choristers. One book has the word "tenor" written in ink on the rear board with the ink ownership name of David West on the front pastedown and "Lyander W. Webb 15 August 1824" at the head of the index page. The fifth notebook is unmarked on the outside but has a manuscript note on the front pastedown: "Lyander W. Webb one of the members of the Universalist Church Choir." Some titles from these volumes: Surry Thanksgiving Miriams Song Canaan several versions Lancaster Dedication Exaltation- approximately twenty-five titles per book. The loose sheets have secular tunes primarily musical notation without lyrics with a few of the titles being: Hail Columbia "Nora's Song in the Poor Soldier" Washington's March Yankee Doodle The Plough Boy and Ramah Droog from the comic opera. Hail Columbia was originally written for and performed at Pres. George Washington's first inauguration in 1789.<br/>One book includes the hymn "Union" with words by "Rev. A. Kneeland" and by W. Dixon. Abner Kneeland 1774-1844 a pioneer evangelist and minister was a powerful if inconsistent advocate of Universalism for a quarter of a century beginning with the Winchester Convention of 1803. Kneeland Hosea Ballou and Edward Turner combined efforts to compile a new Universalist hymnal with Kneeland contributing about a third of the hymns "most of which have been judged to be inferior." After he left the Universalist fellowship in the 1830s he became the last man to be convicted of blasphemy in the state of Massachusetts. see his brief biography in the Unitarian Universalist Dictionary online <br/>Another tune called "Mount Vernon" comes from the psalms of David and was originally written by Isaac Watts 1674-1748 known as the founder of English hymnody. "This life's a dream an empty show; But the bright world to which I go Hath joys substantial and sincere; When shall I wake and find me there" Lyander W. Webb whose name appears in two of the notebooks may be Lyander Westram Webb 1805-1858 who was born in Philadelphia. Rev. Abner Kneeland was pastor of the Lombard Street church in Philadelphia from 1818 until his move to New York City in 1825. Webb later moved to Baltimore Maryland where the 1850 Census lists him as an engineer. <br/><br/> hardcover books
