Minor foxing and toning some dampstaining. The second page of "The Moment is Sad" is lacking otherwise complete. Good. A wonderful collection of early American sheet music mostly American imprints most printed on two pages. The printers of these early sheets include some of the most notable names of the period such as Hewitt Graupner Blake and Paff. Dichter & Shapiro in the Introduction to their EARLY AMERICAN SHEET MUSIC include these four publishers in a list of names they deem "eminently worth while." The highlights of the songs within the book are as follows: <br> <br> 1 Fortune Michael: "Jefferson & Liberty. A New Song. To the Air of Jefferson's March." Philadelphia. 1801. First edition. The most notable music sheet in this collection. Fortune an Irish immigrant wrote the song to commemorate Jefferson's election and sent Jefferson a copy of the song. The music was published by the first American antiquarian bookseller N.G. Dufief who at the time he published this was trying to sell Jefferson Benjamin Franklin's library for the Library of Congress. For whatever reasons jealousy self-interest Jefferson turned him down and Dufief auctioned it in 1803. Perhaps Dufief hoped to advance his sale by sponsoring this publication.

181719472Dedham Mass.: Abel D. Allene Printer 1817. First edition. Some light soiling and wear; a very good copy. Original blue sugar-paper wrappers 8.38 x 5.5 inches 22 2 pages. Williams decries the long custom of a "prevailing inattention and ignorance respecting the proper design and performance of psalmody the most painful and pernicious abuse and perversion in this part of divine worship." An important and explicit endorsement from the pulpit of the contemporary cultural erasure of native American styles of sacred public music with its emphasis on fugues and ornamentation and its replacement with the "smooth academic European harmonies" Nitz of English psalmody this an address by the clergyman Williams endorsing the work of Norfolk Musical Society in bringing the state of church singing in Norfolk County more into line with the proper form for worship. Though the annual meetings of the Norfolk Musical Society all featured sermons though the next of none of those sermons seem to survive; this discourse would seem to be of a piece of the advocacy for this musical reform. For more on this shift in musical practice specifically in the context of the Norfolk Musical Society see Nitz Donald.

Occasional light foxing and soiling throughout but generally clean. Nineteenth-century music publishers in Naples have not been as rigorously studied and documented as those in Milan despite the city's importance in the musical history of Italy. The largest and most important publishing firm was Girard later Stabilimento Musicale Partenopeo then Teodoro Cottrau. Founded by Giuseppe Girard in 1809 succeeded by his son Bernardo in 1826 the company did exceptionally well primarily due to their partnership with Gugliemo Cottrau. Girard had an exclusive contract with the three largest theatres in Naples giving them rights to the works premiered there. For Neapolitan opera during this time therefore the editions of Girard almost certainly predate those of Lucca or Ricordi and were the only editions for many lesser-known composers.<br/><br/>The present collection also includes two scores published by Fabbricatore another important publisher in Naples that often worked in partnership with Ricordi. unknown books
